Uncle Hood in a drive from Harry Payne Whitneys Florian while W. J. Salmons I Knnui was third. The winner was ridden j by jockey Earl Sande and dominated the running from the start. The field was an i unruly one at the post and when the start ! cam«- left in poor alignment. Incle Hood quickly assumed the lead while Florian raced after him with Colored Gal in third place. The others were somewhat strung out with [denning bringing up the rear. There was j no change in the running positions until the : t retch turn was reached. Incle Hood continued to show the way but Florian was racing along stoutly. Knnui in the meantime had worked her way up on the inside and Haviland found an opening at the stretch turn and sent her through. Incle Hood ■ was still racing along smoothly but Sande ] quickly noted Knnui on the inside and called upon Incle Hood. The latter responded with good courage and held on well to the end. Florian which was racing on the outside came again through the final twenty ! yards and outgamed the Salmon representative. The latter tired right at the end. The winners portion of the purse was $:!,77." . Overcast skies and a chilly wind had but little effect on the attendance which was well above the average for a Monday crowd. i The track was at its best. OPK.NKK TO LADY BOSS. I.ady Boss, racing for Charles Ferraro. was returned the winner of the first race I of the day in a hard drive from H. W. Max-! wells Camilla, while Mrs. J. D. Missicks I Play On was a driving and distant third. I The race was at three-quarters and the starters were to be ridden by jockeys who had never ridden a winner. The field left the barrier in good alignment and A. Sulick. J j astride Lady Boss, sent her into the lead I With a rush. Camilla was the one to race | | in closest pursuit, while the others were , ■ closely bunched. Lady Boss, under restraint but racing on the outside, set a fast pace throughout. Camilla moved up with determi- j nation on the outside entering the stretch , and lost some ground. Play On, in the j meantime, slipped through on the rail but] , was too far back to menace the leaders. Throaph the final sixteenth Lady Boss was | tiring but she lasted long enough to stall] off Camilla. The latter bore out through j the final sixteenth and had she raced straight might have reversed the verdict. Harry F. Sinclairs Nida and Sabine accounted for the running of the Iansy Curse Continued on Mxtcentb page UNCLE HOOD DRIVING I . Continued from first pnge l i which was a dash of five and half furlongs , for fillies and mares, three-year-olds and up- j ward. Third portion of the purse fell to , llarrv layne Whitneys Traffic. The start , was none to good and Traffic was the first away. She was quickly overhauled by , Sabine, while Nida was on the outside. Sabine continued to show the way until the stretch turn was reached where she was taken wide and Nida came through on the inside. Gnome Girl, which began in a tangle and had scant , chance moved up into fourth place, but the early effort took its toll and she began to falter. Traffic in the meantime was racing in closest pursuit of the pair and through the stretch Harvey sent her through an opening on the rail. Nida. however, was equal to the occasion and dashed into the lead at the end winning with speed in reserve while Sabine was kept under mild urging to save second place. Kve-rgladc Mrs. A. Swenkes consistent plater continued his winning ways and accounted for the Cumberland Purse which was ; a dash of three-quarters in a drive from 1 1.. M. Howes Sepoy, while W. J. Salmons 1 Traveller was third. The winner was ridden by jockey B. Marinelli and it marked his ; first victory on a metropolitan track since his accident of a year ago. Everglade was 1 hustled into the lead shortly after the start and Sepoy was on the inside with Tom Tiger on the outside. Sande was forced back after leaving the half mile ground and Everglade and Tom Tiger raced on heads apart. Tom 1 Tiger began to tire rounding the stretch turn 1 and it was here that Sande elected to come to the outside. The move was a costly one for had he remained next to the rail Sepoy would have undoubtedly been the winner. Everglade after disposing of Tom Tigt r began to bear out sharply in the final eighth 1 and finished very wide. Traveller which in 1 the meantime recovered some ground after " being forced back after the start slipped through on the inside at the stretch turn and finished with a rush. Others through the " stn tch were never formidable. Sam Smith, ridden by the apprentice G rj Arnold, and racing for M. Hackett, proved the winner of the fifth race which attracted!
