I NOTICINGS EFFORT IN VAIN. Noticing, which had been prominently mentioned as a strong; possibility, for the Clipsetta, due to some speedy trials, attempted to catch Fredalou during the first half mile, but the effort was in vain, as the New Orleans-owned filly held the forward position without strenuous urging.

Fredalou was a heavily-backed favorite and in carrying Packer to victory, enabled the youngster from Idaho to chalk up his third win of the afternoon, he having previously scored with Inflame and Blaze DOr.
