With fair weather prevailing and with the track in a better condition, the crowd which was swelled by many visitors here for the Shriners convention, was the largest of the week. Favorites, however, were again in the minority, and it was not until the fifth race, a purse affair for platers, that the public was successful. Brophy, from Aid-rich and Winans stable, gave them some cause to worry during the opening three-eighths when under J. Marreros guidance he charged down on the outside to take the lead near the final furlong and reached the finish more than clear of Cruising, which finished second. Smart Girl was third, but she had only a head advantage pver Narise, which also came from far back to garner fourth laurels. As customary, Alwintour held sway during the early stages, but Kingsbury and Smart Girl were right with him and the latter forged to the front near the final quarter. After attaining a clear advantage, Smart Girl was steered to the inside and stiffest going and when Brophy made his belated challenge, she gave way rapidly. ANOTHER FOR PASSABLE. Passable chalked up another victory for the Kentucky-owned Hal Price Headley stable when the unsexed son of Apprehension and Bantry Pass was an easy winner over Swing It, Darby Darlin and five other maiden juveniles at the end of five furlongs. Under Herb Fisher and well up from the. start, the winner was eased to avoid the interference at the far turn, but coming fast when clear he rapidly wore down the pace-making Kings Double to reach the finish with a five-length advantage. Former jockey Jack Hanover saddled his first winner of the meeting for Friedberg and Axton when Ethelmont got up in the last stride to beat Dixianas well-supported High Minded by a head at the end of five furlongs in the third race, which was for maiden plater two-year-olds.
