third Broadway Lights was next and Bril ¬ liant Rose led home Small Play to complete the field fieldFrom From the start Herowin leaving from the outside was first to show in front Sweep staff however outran the Smallman three yearold when M Helm took a stout hold on Herowin Live One was racing in third place well before the others which had be ¬ come strung out before the first furlong had been completed completedGoing Going down the back stretch Herowin suc ¬ ceeded in racing into the lead while still under restraint Sweepstaff was still hold ¬ ing a slight advantage over Live One and the others had dropped back badly Leaving the back stretch Herowin increased his lead and was still fighting for his head Live One had supplanted Sweepstaff in the sec ¬ ond place and was under pressure in an ef ¬ fort to catch the leader leaderReleased Released from restraint as the stretch was reached the Smallman colorbearer drew away steadily Live One made a valiant but fruitless effort to gain on the leader but was not good enough and Herowin drew away until he was three lengths to the good at the end Sweepstaff was not unduly urged when he began dropping back though easily taking third from Broadway Lights The latter made up some ground in the stretch stretchThough Though there was a slight increase in the attendance it was still far below any crowd of previous meetings at the

ponents with speed winning by four lengths over the wellbacked Aymond another for ¬ mer Plate winner Rock Crest gained third over Acajou one that ran a smashing race to come from far back in the last quarter mile mileNick Nick Wall was astride the Old Koenig mare and after taking the lead in the first furlong raced Childish Talk into defeat and from then on the contest was over as far as the winner was concerned Wall steadied her along and continuing with good speed in the stretch she was never placed under urging urgingBarter Barter benefited by his race a couple of days ago and held on in gamer fashion than usual and proved victor over a half dozen other mediocre platers that vied for honors in the second a dash over the six furlongs distance Barter accomplished his score by threequarters of a length over Joe Macaw while Donny Johnny was third thirdBarter Barter and Stephanus raced out in front for the greater part of the way and when the stretch was reached Stephanus was through and Barter increased his advantage It was straightening out in the stretch that Joe Macaw made his effort He gained ground steadily and though cutting down the winners lead at every stride was un ¬ equal to the task and had to be content with second place Donny Johnny came willingly after racing far back in the early stages and was third thirdTimon Timon performing back to his previous good effort at the meeting was easily best of the half dozen platers that met in the threequarters mile of the third Craigco the choice of the company and supported with confidence finished second with the
