PAPER MOON, nicely handled and fencing smoothly throughout, was rated close up for the first two miles, displaced SLIEVEREIGH at the nineteenth fence, drew clear on the last turn and increased his lead without effort at the end. SLIEVEREIGH, ridden with bad judgment, was sent up to the leaders at the thirteenth jump, was permitted to draw into a long lead when the rider misjudged the third mile, and flattened out badly when the real test came.

YELLOW TULIP, under light restraint in the first three-quarters, raced to the leaders gradually when placed to pressure, wore down ZOSTERA entering the stretch, continued stoutly and was going away at the end. GORSE, lacking early speed, bettered his position steadily in the last half mile, came between horses on the stretch turn and swung to the outside in the last eighth to finish courageously. ZOSTERA was hurried to the front and opened up a clear lead after three-quarters, but tired in the last quarter mile. OLD NASSAU trailed most of the trip, then passed tiring horses.

G. Tumin; bred by Mr. J. E. Widener. Winner entered to be claimed for ,600. WENT TO POST— 5:58. AT POST— 2 minutes. Start good and slow. Won driving; second and third the same. MANTAGNA, breaking from outside the stalls, was slow to settle in stride, bettered his position on the outside in the last half mile, caught IDLE ELF and came out under a drive in the last eighth. IN MEMORY, reserved off the early pace, responded gamely when placed to a drive and finished stoutly in the last five-sixteenths. IDLE ELF was made entirely too much use of getting into a short lead and could not stay when the final issue came. BIT BY BIT, shuffled back going to the first turn, closed with good speed in the last half mile when clear. GRAND DUKE could not get to the front and was used up forcing the pace. MON DOIT was forced to lose ground to improve his position after a slow beginning. ODDESA LAD made a strong bid at the final turn on the inside, then tired. ARMENIDAS raced well for seven-eighths. CHIMNEY TOP is inconsistent and raced poorly.
