Camdens Ellice. The three-year-old daughter of Black Servant and Five Aces, which is destined for renewals of the various , JOaks, met an inferior band and won de- 5cisively to reward her backers with the , shortest odds 17 to 100 of the meeting.

For contention the race failed to measure lip to the races before and afterwards, yet ; jit was pleasing to the winners big following See her moving along swiftly in the lead !at every stride. After making the turn she J jincreased her lead of one and one-half lengths and easily retained the advantage of . 3-hree lengths all during the run through the , Stretch. By an even wider margin Long j Run led the others until Uncle Matt cut into I his advantage in the final strides, but the j latters rush came too late to seriously en- -tlanger the Hieatt racer for second place. PROVES DISAPPOINTMENT. Although Ellice was considered almost un- , ifceatable here, Justina, the George Collins starter, was counted upon to prove a factor , -and her poor showing was a disappointment. The good racing luck of .staying close to the rail as Dick Weidel carried Liberty Ace jwide on the stretch turn, was the main factor in establishing Knebelkamp and Morris Harry Kuhns winner of the fourth race, the second for two-year-olds. This brought out six colts and geldings under claiming condition, and Good Jest carried off third place. .Quick to start, Dick Weidel showed the most ipeed on the first turn, but upon reaching the hilly approach of the stretch bore out, taking Liberty Ace with him. As this tran--Spired Landolt hustled the victor through and into a lead of a length, which proved gust enough for him to stave off the fast-linishing Liberty Ace and to win by a head. In the stretch Dick Weidel gave way badly, while Good Jest finished resolutely. A race for fillies and mares over the futurity course opened the program and had a popular result in the success of Lady Fin- gers, the starter of Gallaher and Combs, local jowners. Running the distance in the creditable time of 1:10, she won by a length from Netie Pebbles, while third fell to Mon-Jiie. Pretty Pose, which had no small following, also was among the five others. Pichon took the winner back of the early pace set by Netie Pebbles, and responding well when called on in the stretch, she slowly disposed of the early leader and drew away in the final sixteenth. Monnie forced lo lose much ground, did not seri-,ously approach Netie Pebbles for second place before tiring in the final stages, where iMarys Toy just failed to wear her down for third. IJf ORDER NAMED. Fair Missie and In Haste, which were making their first starts, got home in advance of the ten other maiden two-year-olds that started in the second race, and finished first and second as named. Fair Missie, a daughter of For Fair and Old Miss, racing for . jCollins and Hardy, led throughout and, while a lack of experience caused her to swerve badly in the final eighth, she held In Haste safe to win by a length. The latters final margin over Plumage, the favorite, amounted to four lengths and at no stage did Plumage .threaten the winner and In Haste readliy repulsed her meek challenge on the stretch turn. Weideleen, on which W. Garner had the mount, suffered a hard fall before finishing the first quarter when she ran upon the heels of Eton. Garner escaped with a shaking up and Dcprema, who rode Eton, suffered a minor contusion to the leg in the crowding, which forced his mount back directly in the path of Weideleen.
