NARROW VICTORY. Mrs. Marion Allens Brides Delight, winner of seven previous engagements this year, drove to a narrow victory at the end of the six furlongs of the secbnd race under the guidance of Earl Dew. Brides Delight broke fast but was taken in hand when Miss Balko outran her. Entering the stretch, however, the Allen performer responded to strong handling and got up in the closing strides to be awarded the decision by a nose. Miss Balko hung on stubbornly in the drive but could not withstand the winner, and just a stride from the wire she was beaten another nose for second place by Jadva. Par-Queen was best of the others, including the strongly supported Gay World. Domanio, carrying the colors of Frank Serembas Fairflax Stable, romped to an emphatic victory in the third race, another test of six furlongs. R. L. Vedder sent the son of Kai Feng to the front after a quarter and kept him there to the end where his advan- - tage : was three lengths.

Maebob was fourth. The fifth race, contested at a mile and seventy yards, brought together some better grade platers and it resulted in victory for Mrs. H. C. Rumages Oddesas Pride. Coming from behind in the run through the stretch, the Rumage three-year-old charged past the judges in front by a length under the guidance of Ted Atkinson. Prince Sador, the public choice, was second, with Double R. a neck farther away in third place. Adolf set all the pace here and showed the way to the final eighth, then gave way badly and was thoroughly beaten at the end of the journey.
