The blue and white silks of Hal Price Headley were borne to a triple on this afternoons program at the local course, which wa3 offered under disagreeable weather conditions. Old Nassau, an eligible for the Kentucky Derby, completed the set of triumphs by the handy manner in which he turned back five other three-year-olds in the Sagamore Purse, over the mile and one-sixteenth distance.

Duffys Grey Gold, which had been installed an odds-on favorite on his victory over Billionaire and Brooklyn in his previous start at the meeting. A good track prevailed for the running of the feature after the course had been fast for the first three races. A drizzle, which brought about a decided drop in the temperature, started after the second race. Old Nassaus time for the feature was 1:47, and he carried 104 pounds, giving jockey Robert Dotter a double, as he won with Headleys Sand Bag in the previous event. Hal Price Headley, president of the Keeneland Association, furnished the winners of both the two-year-old contests in Drift Along and Sand Bag. The latter, a brown daughter of Apprehend and Sandy Land, was made a favorite in the fourth race, titled the Shandon Purse, and benefiting from a step at the start, led all the way by a good margin. WINS EASILY. In running the Headley course in :48, Sand Bag won by four lengths over Miss Mars, representing C. R. Allen, as M. J. Schmitts Fern Sta,r was another two lengths away. Drift Along, owned by Hal Price Headley, proved best of the nine maiden juveniles meeting under claiming conditions in the opener, over the Headley course. Slow to settle into her stride, the chestnut daughter of Suprcmus and Sea Drift showed excellent speed through the final three furlongs to gain the victory by two and a half lengths over the Tall Trees Stables Frozen Mask, with Sunbcrra, from the French Lick Springs Stable, another head away. Frozen Mask got the best of a fair start and led until inside the sixteenth post, where Chall brought up Drift Along with a rush. Sunberra, the favorite, displayed an even effort. The Headley filly ruled the second choice. WISE DORA BEST. Wise Dora accounted for the second race when she wore down Scout Brigade in the stretch and then staved off a late rush by Smooth, beating the latter by three-fourths of a length. Scout Brigade was another three lengths back and a length before Dulcimer. Entree was installed an odds-on favorite, but after being unable to get off with the others, was caught in close quarters, dropping back to last place. He was unable to show much speed thereafter. Prenny, slight favorite among the dozen lowly three-year-olds that ran six furlonga in the third, gained a head victory over Ann Jones, with Minster three-quarters of a length away and two lengths before Lac-ha-Carolyn. The gelded son of Wise Counsellor Rejoice was ridden by Charles Landolt. Opening up a good lead right after the start, Prenny was not threatened, but he tired in the final furlong, where Ann Jones gained fast.
