SHYNO had speed from the outset, followed along in closest pursuit of ROYAL BIRD, disposed of him through the stretch and was clear at the end. ROYAL BIRD had speed all the way, made a bold bid to go along with the winner when challenged, but was .not good enough. GENEVA CROSS, outpaced for the first .half mile, closed with a rush and was along in the last stride to wear down OLD DOMINION. The latter, restrained early, saved ground at the stretch turn and closed with good courage. LUNSFORD, well placed although racing wide throughout, was unable to threaten in the closing test. HUSTLE ALONG tired during the last three-sixteenths. LETSELOPE was far back the entire trip.

ELYLEE, under slight reserve while holding to a prominent position, gained command when MAESTRUNG began tiring and while holding on well, was not quite good enough. CONSISTENT, in closest pursuit of the early pace, tired slightly in the closing sixteenth. WISE HILDRED, taken up at the start, was sent up fast on the outside nearing the far turn, but faltered through the last three-sixteenths from her early efforts. SHUCHOR was going willingly through the closing; stages. BOB C- was never a factor.

BALL-O-FIRE, away fast, disposed of IDA TARP for the lead in the opening three-sixteenths, met determined opposition from JESSIE V. L. until the closing quarter, drawing out steadily. IDA TARP was taken under slight reserve when the winner raced to the front, responded gamely when reaching the stretch and closed with good energy. CURRANTS, unable to keep pace early, moved through on the inside nearing the far turn, continued to save ground and held on with good energy in the final drive. COUNT COTTON was unable to reach the leaders, wearing down the tiring JESSIE V. L. in the last seventy yards. JESSIE V.

MY DAY was under slight restraint while following along in pursuit of the pace, moved through on the inside nearing the stretch when ROSEMAIN carried SHIN PLASTER out, opened up a good lead, but was doing her utmost at the close to hold HOPE DIAMOND safe. The latter, slow to begin and far back until the last five-sixteenths, came to the outside for the closing test and was catching the winner at every stride at the end. BIG BULLY, slightly reserved early, held on with good energy to the close. COOLING SPRING closed some ground through the stretch, but was unable to endanger the leaders. SHIN PLASTER, well placed, was carried extremely wide by ROSEMAIN and faltered through the last three-sixteenths. ROSEMAIN, unruly at the post, was rushed up fast, but started bearing out badly nearing the last turn. TRUSTWORTHY raced to the front at once, showed good speed, but bolted to the outside fence after going three-sixteenths mile. Overweight — My Day, 1 pound; Big Bully, 1.

The latter, well placed all the way, moved up on the outside of U-BOAT to gain a slight lead, was carried wide entering the stretch, and, fighting it out stubbornly, just failed to hold on long enough. U-BOAT displayed speed from the start and, responding gamely to punishment, held on willingly to the end. DINNER JACKET closed going gamely.

Bedell; bred by Mr. C. Clay. Winner entered to be claimed for ,250. WENT TO POST— 6:00. AT POST— 5J minutes. Start good and slow. Won driving; second and third the same. GALLOPING, unruly at the post, raced to the front while restrained, met determined opposition from SEA GULL and outlasted the latter at the end. SEA GULL, in closest pursuit of the winner for most of the way, fought it out stubbornly and just missed being up in time. JIM CORN, reserved until leaving the back stretch, moved up gamely on the outside and, despite closing gamely, was unable to reach the first two. BLUE FLAME made up some ground. JOY FLAG raced -well for the first three-quarters. OCLEARY tired in the last three-eighths.
