OTTAWA, Ont., June 11.— Saratoga Maje, which has been racing so successfully for P. F. Joyce, scored his third consecutive victory, all of which have taken place at the Aylmer track of the Connaught Park Jockey Club, when he mastered the best sprinters in his own class that could be mustered to vie for honors in the three-quarters mile of the fourth race, the nonrest approach to a feature that was listed for todays sport.

Blind Cast was easily third over Tamarind, while the others were utterly helpless to make any impression on the quartet that divided the purse.

The initial race on the program for maiden three-year-olds and over resulted in Mascara graduating from the non-winning ranks when she came from a long way back of the leaders to score in a drive, defeating Bucephalus by a neck. The Salmon starter looked all over a winner, but he tired fast during the final stages and succumbed inside the final twenty yards.
