fell to Croyden an 1 unfortunate start just about decided the running but altogether it was a real day of sport sportIn In the Harlem there was some delay at the post but the field was sent away in good alignment Applecross beginning from the inside position went iitto command with Montferrat and McAuliffe in close attend ¬ ance The three sprinted away from the others in the first quarter and it was King Jimmy that was leading the others othersMontferrat Montferrat was first to tire chasing along with Applecross and that left McAulIife in second place and galloping strongly but it was evident that something had been taken i out of him going with the early pace And I still Johnny Callahan kept Applecross at his task and he was clear of the others An i eighth out Fields drove McAuliffe in a vain i effort to catch Applecross and it was the i last bid of the Livingston gelding He be ¬ gan to tire from that point pointIn In the meantime King Jimmy was begin ¬ ning to race in earnest on the outside while Roland came through on the inner rail Right to the end they both continued to i draw up on Applecross but Callahan kept his tiring mount going long enough to have I Continued ou eleventh

opening four and a half furlongs dash when Daffodil from the Kverglade Stable was just winner from the Wheatley Stables Sturdy Stella and J I McGoverns Victrix a fast finishing third This was Tor two j yearold fillies under claiming conditions uhd Victrix was easily best but J Mergler j was of no assistance to her with Kllison on j Daffodil and Stevens on Sturdy Stella out striding him in the final stages Cham the Gifford Cochran starter showed early speed but Sturdy Stella and Daffodil were close after her and they both soon had her headed Mergler was unable to keep Victrix up in the early running but she closed resolutely on her own courage and would have been the winner in a few more strides stridesAlex Alex Gordons Banton had only to gallop in front of his company to be winner

Gifford A Cochrans Flat Iron B C Segars Son Ami and Mrs 1C M HUts First Aid Of these Flat Iron was the only one to give a semblance of a contest in the early racing and the effort to keep within hailing distance of Banton cost him second place He tired badly in the final eighth and there Smith brought Araby along with a rush to take second place Flat Iron though tiring badly easily beat Son Ami for third place and First Aid was even further back backThe The mile handicap that was third was somewhat marred when of the four starters Spot Cash wheeled and was almost left and Sunspero caught unawares was slightly sideways as the barrier arose The other two Harry Payne Whitneys Croyden and the Salubria Stables Florence Nightingale were away runiiiHg and while the filly was well Florence Nightingale away when the stretcli was reached and in the meantime Sande had closed a big gap with Sunspero and turning for home he was in second place but it had cost much effort to make up the grouiid and while he was going better than Croyden at the end the Whitney gelding was safely home the winner
