Mrs. C. Gregorys All Hail and L. T. Sandrocks Druggist divided the minor awards of the purse, finishing in second and third, with Lucky Dan a creditable fourth. Crash took command at once, closely followed by All Hail and Druggist. While on the stretch turn All Hail and Druggist moved up on the outside of the pacemaker. Jockey R. Mozer, who had the mount on Crash, then proceeded to carry his opponents to the outside, causing both serious interference and shaking his whip in the face of All Hail. Despite Mozers tactics All Hail continued courageously in the final drive, and Crash just lasted to score by a nose over All Hail. Druggist was a creditable third after being carried to the extreme outside in the stretch. Jockey Horn, who rode All Hail, promptly claimed foul against Mozer, but his protest was dismissed by the stewards. Perkins was an easy winner of the Hud* son Purse, which served as the secondary feature, and run as the fourth race. Jockey Seabo sent him up on the outside of the leaders while on the far turn, and, overhauling La Belotte midway in the stretch, drew away into an easy lead in the final stages* Germaine Chauvelot came with a belated rush on the outside in the final furlong and outstayed La Belotte. Sawdust raced in close quarters on the inside, but finished tiring. The sport was staged under favorable conditions, but at intervals the weather became sultry and threatening. The track was in good shape. An excellent half-holiday crowd was in attendance, and the racing wag spirited. J. Judys Mary Cobb was easily best of those starting in the opening race. She sprinted into the lead shortly after the start,; shook off Thistle Vic on the far turn and,, retaining a comfortable lead in the stretchy won with something in reserve. Thistle Vio always held the remainder safe. Despite a wide stretch turn Charbuel raced into third place easily in the stretch. After beginning slowly, Hippias quickly raced up to the leaders in the first quarter of the second race and, overhauling Royal Rock, the pacemaker, a furlong out, drew clear in the last seventy yards. Royal Rock was hard pressed at the end to save second from the fast finishing Participate, which gained steadily after reaching the stretch. Melmor raced past the tiring Poly in the stretch. Tempus and Commandman raced closely lapped setting a terrific pace to the stretch in the third race, where Commandman gave up. Anitas Pal then moved up next to the inner rail and, after a hard drive, wore down Tempus in the last few strides. Tempus held on with rare courage during the final drive. Cloido acted unruly at the post, began slowly and raced into third place in the last quarter. The disappointment of the race was the failure of Noahs Pride. He began last aa usual, but was moving up fast on the outside when he swerved over to the inside midway in the stretch behind the others. Jockey Tilden, who had the mount, was forced to take up, but the son of Noah came fast when straightened out and finished with his usual courage. *
