TORONTOS FEATURELESS CARD Nothing Out of the Usual Provided, but Large Crowd Enjoys Dufferin Park Sport. TORONTO, Ont., June 25. A program embracing seven events, all of which were tagged with the claiming clause, was the entertainment furnished for the fifth day of the current meeting by the Metropolitan Racing Association at Dufferin Park for a sunny day of sport on Thursday. With no event of importance on the card, there was little choice in the caliber of the various fields that measured strides in the different numbers, although most interest was shown in the fourth and fifth races, both of which were fashioned for non-winners during the present month and had decision at six and one-half furlongs a popular route at the midcity course. Despite the lack of a feature, a crowd equally as large as any other day of the meeting, with the exception of Saturday, turned out for the sport. Jockey H. Peden was in the limelight among the riders with a double riding score. He was astride Karame and Circulet, the latter one of the three heavily backed favorites that made good and helped make the day rather pleasant. S. B. Crawfords shifty sprinter, Goggles, proved the superior of those" that met in the fourth, and it marked his initial success when he led vigorously from the start to sweep over the line leading Mrs. C. J. Patchetts Meloy, with Momiji a driving third for J. C. Fletcher, to head the five others. A. Prain was astride the four-year-old son of Gaffsman, and he rode a confident race to have his mount over the line with a one-length margin, while Meloy held a similar lead over Momiji, which barely succeeded in nosing out Maemere for third.
