Despite disagreeable weather, a crowd rivalling that of last Saturday, when 10,000 were present, attended. The racing strip was in a heavy and treacherous condition, and a majority of winners got home by large margins. The program, with the exception of the feature, was recruited from the claiming ranks. However, interesting and formful racing prevailed and the third popular score of the afternoon came with the fifth e,vent, that supported the feature. This resulted in a victory for Miss Alice Vans Zebulo, which turned back the fast-finishing Campagna, Ceallaigh, Black Miss, which shared favoritism with him and four others. Although in motion at the start, Zebulo, which had the services of E. Rodriguez, was unable to match strides with Chance Queen, which was rushed into a good lead during the opening quarter. Rodriguez drove the winner into command, but after establishing a big advantage he tired rapidly and had nothing left when Campagna. which came from far back offered her belated charge. QUICK BY NOSE. A nose finish came with the opening event for lowly platers when Jack M. Brooks Quick got up to beat the tiring and heavily-supported Tarpon at the end of six furlongs. Miss Dolly, which was in closest pursuit of Tarpon the greater part of the run, was third. Never far back and ridden by Jack Pollard, the winner moved up fast after reaching the stretch, and when Tarpon, which established a big advantage during the opening half, tired, he came on to gain the decision in a camera finish. Another surprise came with the running of the second, also for sprinting platers, when San Lu turned back Blagden and Dulcimer, the well-supported Hamburger Jim and six others at the end of six furlongs. Always in closest pursuit of the pacemaking Blagden and ridden by Joe Tinker, San Lu took command after being guided to the inside in the stretch and although he drew clear rapidly he had little left at the end. Some six lengths separated Blagden and Dulcimer with the latter a length before Hamburger Jim, which failed to improve his position under strong urging. Joe Brooks saddled his second winner, this time for A. M. Smith, when Two Brooms, which was making his first appearance under that owners colors, was an easy winner of the third race at one mile and a sixteenth. Kavalry Jack was second and Golden Beam third.
