TORONTO, Ont., Oct 10. Closing with a magnificent burst of speed in the. final furlong. Silver Jubilee, flaunting the silks of the Parkwood Stable, was an easy winner of the Juvenile Test Handicap, especially-arranged feature on a splendid program at Long Branch today. Golden Silence, from the Erindale Stable, was second, beaten two lengths after setting the early pace. In third position came Vicereine, stablemate of the winner. This was a gallop of a mile and seventy yards and was fashioned to bring together the leading juveniles currently campaigning in Canada, and nine of the better-than-average quality faced the starter. There was a delay of twelve minutes at the barrier, the starter having difficulty with E. F. Seagrams Rebecca Lee and R. W. R. Cowies Aldwych. After both horses had been placed outside the stall gates they got off to an excellent start. Golden Silence, breaking forwardly, displayed keen early speed, taking a slight lead from the. barrier and followed closely by Silver Jubilee. Going into the first turn Golden Silence assumed a clear lead as Silver Jubilee was eased back off the swift pace. Rebecca Lee, racing into contention at the time, carried Aldwych extremely wide, both horses Josing ground. They straightened out for the run down the back stretch, with Golden Silence still showing the way, while Vicereine had moved into second position, while Take Heed, GriSmythes colorbearer, had moved around the outside to reach third position. Around the turn and into the home stretch, there was. a general closing up of positions with .Silver Jubilee again .entering, .contention. They came into the .stretch with Golden Silence leading the field by two lengths and the Parkwood pair in second and third positions; V HANDY WINNER. . s At the eighth post, when it appeared that Vicereine would not. get up, Barnes called on Silver Jubilee, and he responded at once, quickly cutting down the lead of the pacemaker. He went to the front in the final seventy yards and drew out to accomplish his handy victory. Golden Silence held on stoutly to outstay the tiring Vicereine for the place position. Rain which had fallen throughout the night and a driving storm just before the first race left the track heavy, but the dual features attracted a large crowd. Spring Moon, Erindale Stables crack three-year-old home-bred, raced to a ridiculously easy score in the six furlongs Maple Leaf Handicap, co-feature on the program. The daughter of Frisius romped home eased up two lengths in the van of Shoeless Joe, from the C. Smythe stable. In third place was Sablin, the E. F. Seagram representative. Five faced the starter for the event, Penabud and Worthy Duke -completing the field. The fractious antics of Spring Moon, and Sablin at the barrier resulted in a delay of eleven and one-half minutes before starter Clark caught them in alignment. They were off in good order. Spring Moon taking an early lead. She uncovered keen speed in the going and had a five lengths advantage before reaching the turn out of the back stretch. Aimers allowed her a breather at that stage, but she was never threatened in the run through the stretch and was being eased up at the wire. It was her second straight score of the meeting. SHOELESS JOE FAILS. Shoeless Joe, the favorite, was no match for the winner. He was off in the clear, raced into second position on the turn, but failed to endanger the winning lead of the filly despite hard urging through the stretch. Sablin, going in improved fashion and apparently at home in the footing, closed well through the stretch to get up for the minor award. Worthy Duke was through early after a brief flash of early speed. Sugar Jar, the favorite, drove to a head decision at the end of the six furlongs of the first race, lasting to hold Trajectory safe, with third in the field of twelve going to Stirred Up. Mitchell, who rode Trajectory, claimed a foul, but the stewards disallowed it. Sugar Jar took command in the stretch after Vanished had wilted from the van position. Trajectory gradually entered contention after being reserved in the early racing and entering the stretch found racing room on the rail. Inside the furlong post Sugar Jar swerved to the inside and Mitchell pulled his charge up sharply. Marin soon straightened Sugar Jar and the pair drove to the finish line closely lapped, but Trajectory was I unable to overcome the loss sustained.
