Nancy Langhorne, the Swingalbng Stables three-year-old daughter of Flittergold -Martha Lee, broke the Jamaica track record for a mile and seventy yards in winning the Caledonian Handicap for three-year-olds. Beginning like a flash she dashed into a comfortable early lead and though challenged several times by Diogenes shook him off on the last turn and won easily in 1:41; one-fifth of a second under the record established here two years ago by Georgie. The winner had no Rialtos and Priscilla Ruleys to contend with today and was at all times mistress of her competitors. Diogenes tried hard to catch the flying pacemaker but tired badly. in the last eighth and was just able to outlast Feysun for second place. The latter was lacking in early speed but finished well. "Wampee was outrun at all stages. Delightful weather brought out a good attendance, considering the lack of any stellar event. There was a surprising number of scratches. H. W. Maxwells Blue Moon, fast daughter of Sweep and Lady Vulcain was a handy winner of the opening race, a claiming handicap at three-quarters, in which all were entered to be sold for ,000. There were half a dozen withdrawals, leaving a like number to face starter Cassidy. The start was good for all but Finn Lag, which began sideways and was nearly a dozen lengths in the rear at the end of the first eighth. Johnny Callahan had Blue Moon away full in her stride, followed by Robert L. Gerrys Quaratine. Amor Patriae and Pedagogue were next and this order was maintained until the turn for home, with Finn Lag closing ground very rapidly. Amor Patriae was pocketed but when he got clear sailing he could not respond to Hoopers urging and tired badly through the stretch Quarantine boldly challenged Blue Moon in the final eighth but the filly came away from him. Finn Lag made a wide turn into the stretch and closed fast at the end, just failing to catch Quarantine for second place. Pedagogue tired slightly near the end and Amor Patriae and Rigel were beaten off. COLTILETTIS GOOD RIDING. Frank Coltiletti won the second. Upsal was his mount and did his part toward achieving victory, but it was Coltilettis quick wit and nerve on the turn, into the back-stretch that made the result possible. Mark Over and Despot -were quickest to get going and alternated in the lead around the lower turn, where for, some . reason little Hoade went wide with Mark--Over and Upsai slipped through the opening and into a commanding lead before the others realized what had happened. Meantime Austin McLaughlin had Ten Eyck in all sorts of difficulties. Upsal,. Despot and Ten Eyck was the order around the far turn with Ten Eyck driving hard to get within striking distance of the Continued on ninth page. BREAKS TRACK MARK Continued from first page. leaders. Once straightened away Despot made his bid, but Upsal had plenty left and came away to win well in hand. Despot was fivo lengths before the tiring Ten Eyck and none of the1 others were ever contenders. The third resulted in a tight finish between W. R. Coes Sweetgrass and the Canadian Carthage. Dave Goldie making his first appearance since last winters campaign at New Orleans was the early pacemaker closely attended by Time Lock from the stable of Marshall Field. True Heart headed the others. Sweetgrass and Carthage were never far back, but Akbar, Walter E. and John Mar-rone II., had lost chance at the start which was rather a straggling one. Dave Goldie was momentarily headed by Time Lock at the turn into the stretch but the latter began to tire and Sweetgrass and Carthage challenged the lead of Dave Goldie. It was nip and tuck right to the end, with Sweetgrass just lasting to win by a nose. Transformer finished fast in the last eighth and was third. Vulcain Park, a distant follower in all his recent starts, had good speed today in the fifth race, a cheap claiming dash at a mile and seventy yards. All In All was the early ! pacemaker, holding a good lead for more than a half, but when Vulcain Park challenged, the pacemaker collapsed completely and finished next to last .Vulcain Park drew away from the others and won by eight lengths, with Robbins taking him up. Invictus, which had been in close attendance on the winner in the early part, held on for second place and The "Wqrld, whose chances were nil when he could not get to the lead, was an easy third. None of the others offered serious contention at any stage. J. L. Hollands Gnome Girl, a daughter of Admiral Graysons good horse Gnome, won the last race. Polly McWiggles essayed to keep pace with Gnome Girl and ran well to the last turn, where she tired and was lucky to outlast Moonflower, which had been well up from the start and finished a nose in front of Martha Martin. The latter, as usual was unfortunate in the early running She ran well in the colors of the Swingalong Stable. Gamble was a forward contender throughout and finished right with the others.
