Ultimate Vote was close up in pursuit of the leaders on the outside and the turn into the stretch and when called upon by his rider, quickly sprinted into the lead, taking command from the tiring Meridianese. never to be threatened thereafter, holding Tcltec safe to the end. The latter finished fast and got up to be second by a nose in the final few yards. Summerlike weather prevailed today, the temperature rising steadily and close to an uncomfortable degree. The track was fast and nearly at its best. The attendance was again encouraging to the management and another large crowd turned out to witness the interesting and spectacular racing which resulted in all of the races decided. In the daily race for maiden two-year-olds over five-eighths there was a victory for the youngster Breakaway, which was one of the field horses and was ridden by J. C. Celida. Emeryville, another outsider, raced to second place, while the oncoming Oblige outstayed the favorite. De Yeldarb, of which the most was expected, carried the bulk of the support in this race, but was outpaced all the way and never threatened the leaders at any stage. Lady Louise, second choice and also well backed, was a close contender to the stretch but failed to respond to hard riding in the final drive and was well beaten. Dainty Miss, Emeryville and Breakaway were in the van to the stretch turn, with the first-mentioned setting the pace, and when they were straightened out for the run home, Breakaway came fast on the outside, gradually wearing down the two leaders and getting to the front near the finish. Marjory Seth, racing in good form, was winner of the second race and chalked up another winner for G. W. Ogle, when she took into camp the large band of sprinters that started over the three-quarters route. Doctor Glenn was the one to take second place when he tired and gave way to the winner in the final few strides of the stretch drive. Chicola landed in third place. Big Stick and Doctor Glenn were the choices in this, while Marjory Seth also had considerable support. Bright Plume set the early pace but failed to hold the lead long. As they made the far turn Doctor Glenn rushed into the lead from a close up position and the veteran then continued to show the way to the final strides, where Marjory Seth, coming with a strong rush and hard ridden, managed to get up on the outside of the leader in the final few strides to win by inches.
