Vaacam benefited much by being taken far out in the track, where the going was firmest, as the others raooi close to the inner rail ■when- the track was heavy. The winner appeared hopelessly out of it leaving the back stretch, but he had not had started racing as yet and the fashion in which he sprinted through the stretch carried him past bis rivals in rapid succession. It was T. S. Jordan that went forth to show tii" way soon after the start. He remained in command, but closely attended until thri e-sixtecnths of a mile from the finish, where lrince of Wales raced into first place The McLean colt quickly assumed the lead, but Tangaras rush erased it more rapidly than it was acquired. T. S. Jordan slowed down gradually as he did the late part of the dash and it was only by an inch or so that King Nadi failed to overhaul him for third place. Senator Norris began slowly and but for this might have been a keener factor. The race carried a winning value of ,350 and a piece of silver plate, the gift of the management of the Sinton Hotel. The attendance was asain of generous numbers and speculation heavy.

Twelve maiden three- ear-olds provided the s;.ort in the fourth race, with Jack Knight, a jr. to 1 shot, ■printing into a long Pail J lead and just lasting to lead Kajaba at the end of one mile and s-venty yards. It was a tainted win for the victor, as Kajaba lwgan slowly and had many lengths to make up in the final three-eighths. He made a game try to catch the leader and only failed by inches. Third place fell to Four Sixty. Tho closest finish of the afternoon came with the running of the I *ilson OutlM k Park Parse, a dash of five-eighths for v.hieh eight good two-year-olds :uiswered the call. The winner turned up in the Cincinnati-owned Royal Julian. His margin was a nose over Orllieb. Chairman was third two lengths off the closely aligned leaders. It must be said that the winner benifited through impeding some of his rivals as Jockey S. Griffin brought him through iti the stretch to gel up in the final stride and snatch the verdict from Ortlieb.
