The race marked a double for Bierman, who won the opener on Hasty Rose. I It was a crisp fall afternoon with the sun shining brightly, and although a good crowd was out, the handle gain was a light one. Sun Mica went out to make the pace in ,the feature with Mobcap in nearest pursuit ito the far turn. There Chauvin raced by horses as if they were tied and showed in front of Mobcap as they straightened out. At the eighth pole Sun Mica was tiring and Breezing Along began his charge from ruck, but his task appeared a hopeless one. .Going to the sixteenth pole, Chauvin was drawing off slightly and appeared a sure winner.
