Paragon Stables Bold Turk showed a distinct liking for the muddy going as he galloped home in the ,000 added Fanueil Hall Stakes, fiye and a half furlongs special for juveniles, and the richer of the two features on the final day of the Suffolk Downs spring meeting. The winner set all his own pace and finished two lengths in advance of Mrs. P. A. Shaws Stage Beauty. Tommy Luther, who was completing a double, had only to shake his whip at the son. of Valorous to achieve an easy victory. John Hay Whitneys New York campaigner, Endymion, coupled in the betting with Manhasset, Stables Smoke Signal, was a fast-closing third, passing the judges just a neck off the runner-up. W. L. Stroubes Huskie Boy was an even money choice for the event. He could do no better than finish fourth,, a neck back of the show horse. Mud, a half furlong added distance and his inability to get to the front in. the early running, were contributing factors to his defeat. The winner negotiated the" muddy course in-l:08; and earned a purse of ,530. ATTENDANCE 33,000. Thirty-three thousand fans were on hand to see him triumph, "v Bold Turk began running from his outside stall and Luther at once sent him to the best going. Huskie Boy also flashed away from the, gate and attempted to get to the head end, but the winner, outran him and before they had traveled a sixteenth, it was Bold Turk first, Stage Beauty second,- with Huskie Boy a rather distant third. After the first eighth, Bold Turk began to draw away coming to the far turn with a lead of two lengths and the others well bunched behind him. j As they came into the stretch three horses behind Bold Turk went wide purposely, their riders looking for the best going.. Luther shook his mount up slightly at the eighth post and the response he met convinced him that there was no reason for going to the whip. He kept him going in free-running style all the way home, and there never was anything within less than two lengths of him. The day was dark and chilly, but that did not keep the fans away nor did it curtail their betting.- Through the fourth race, 76,102 had passed through the machines. APPEARS LIKE FALLING. A. C.

The official description of the manner in which he won must be. "easily", although it appeared that he was about to fall down at the finish. The reason for this, however, was that Eddie Smith looked back in the stretch when he had a daylight lead, started to ease the horse up, and Clingendaal at once started to puir himself ! up. Smith then became excited, went to a drive that broke his mounts stride and caused Kim to bear to the outside. If the winner had not been pounds the best he would have lost the race.
