It was not until rounding :i:to the stretch thai Ceouean made his winning move. w. Smith had come around on the outside, and before tie- eighth post was readied it was a poor wit that the aid gelding was to be winner. In that last eighth Calatia tired badly, while Freemason came with a determined roan to take aeoond place without seriously threatening the winner Calatia was tiring badly, but she hutted long enough to save third from Sea Band.

Kilauea who was ridden by V. Wallis. was fortunate to escape with a severe shaking , up, and shortly afterwards walked back to the scales unassisted. Kilauea was the one! to set the pace, but he was closely followed I by Cave Woman and Knight of Merci II. in the early stuges. while Poor Sport had scant speed and was last. Knight of Merci II. was first of the leaders to tire and as he dropped back both Cave Woman and Camouflage drew up on Kilauea, while Poor Sport had begun to move up and was making up ground rapidly on the inside in the stretch. Camouflage drew alongside of Kilauea and i at the same time Lieutenant Farrell got into contention, but the latter was in close quarters and with scant racing room. Then it was Camouflage bore over on Kilauea and bumped him so severely he fell. After the accident Camouflage drew out to be winner by a length. Lieutenant Farrell had also been interfered with by Camouflage and Stott, who had the mount, went into the stand. The stewards called Lacaste. who! j rode Poor Sport, before them and on the ! report of these two riders the disqualifies- j | tion promptly followed.
