completed the field of five fiveWise Wise Eddie was the favorite in this but after cutting up at the post for four min ¬ utes it took much of his stamina and when the start came he immediately dropped out of contention and remained far back throughout the race raceThe The winner raced in close attendance of the leaders to well around the turn where he was forced back sharply when Supreme Sweet forced Foxy Quiller into close quar ¬ ters and this almost eliminated Dogmata but he recovered from the interference quickly and gained steadily while Foxy Quiller and Supreme Sweet staged a bitter duel with Miss Melody flanked on the flying leaders Foxy Quiller was the first to give way and then Supreme Sweet submitted to Miss Melody In the meantime apprentice Manifold was working vigorously on
