The prize had a net value ot ,200 to the winner, and third was the portion of Erin, from the Whitney Stable, the topweight of the field. Eight started and, in the early running, it was Pansy Walker, from W. T. Waggoners Three Ds Stock Farm Stable, that was showing the way. Keep On was not far back of the Waggoner filly and, at the elbow ot the course, she was showing in front, but she had no sooner taken command than Workman moved up outside of her and the tight was on to the end. In the last eighth Murky Cloud ran straight and true, and Workman outrode Inzelone, with the result that Murky Cloud was home the winner by half a length, while Keep On just beat Erin, which had raced lorwardly and on the inside, only a neck further back, and a head before Conclave, a stablemate to Keep On.

Then Keep On had raced so brilliantly in the National Stallion Stakes that it was generally agreed before the running thit the Coe hand was a particularly strong one. LADKIN HANDICAP. J. Livingstons Recreation came back with a good race in the Ladkin Claiming Handicap, when she led home Mrs. T. U. Queens Joe Marrone III., with Spear Rock, from the Pleasure Bay Stable, racing third before Genial Host.

Laurie raced with Recreation in the early stages, but she put him away before the stretch was reached. Then Joe Marrone III., which had been in third place, made his move and came into second place, but Fields was wide awake and kept the mare at her ta.sk. An eighth out Joe Marrone III. was under a drive in an effort to catch her, but she swept past the line two lengths clear. Spear Rock had come fast in the stretch and was well lapped on Joe Marrone III., and five lengths before Genial Host with the others following along well beaten. Hale bumped his way through to victory with Buddha, from the Jachen Stable, in the second race. A claim of foul was lodged by Fields, who rode Clairdine, but it was not allowed, though there seemed to be good reason for action. Second went to Mint Grass, and third was the portion of Shasta Grafton, which beat Tester for that part of the purse. There was some delay at the post, and when the field was sent away Adjutant, Last Bite and Herbier had scant chance, while Buddha, which caused the delay, ieft with the leaders. Whitehall was the one to set the pace, but Clairdine was right with him, and Mint Grass was not far back. Buddha was rushed through with Mint Grass, while Clairdine lost some ground because of interference. Hale got away with it and came on to be winner by three lengths, with Buddha over Mint Grass, and Shasta Graftoi being third by reason of interference suffered by the others. VICTORY FOB VIRGINIA.
