Another day of wonderful weather pre-yailed for the sport, contested over a fast track, and Carries success was the second straight for the choices. She was a 7-to-10 choice and her victory was the fourth of the meeting for Dixiana. . FALLON HUSTLES MOUNT. Carrie, a daughter of High Time— Cara-cena, was slow in reaching her stride and Marty Fallon was forced to hustle her along to assume the lead on the far turn. She was unable to draw clear of Toast, however, and when Mellowmoon drove through on the inside on the stretch turn Fallon was forced to put the Dixiana filly to extreme pressure.* Toast, losing ground at the stretch turn, came again when straightened out and.after wearing down Mellowmoon, was gaining on the winner at the end. Martha O. was a badly-beaten fourth, while Sidebyside and Imperial Carol, the other maiden contestants, were distant trailers throughout.

Gunwale, the favorite, was the loser in the picture finish, with Fly Me carrying off third honors. Ridden by F. Maschek and under J. H. Logans silks, the winner established a good lead during the opening quarter. After increasing his advantage, Sudanese tired, and Gunwale came on to engage the winner when inside the final furlong. However, Gunwale was weakly handled and Sudanese lasted to the end. DEAD HEAT FOR THIRD. The second dead heat of the meeting— it was the first for show honors — occurred in the six furlongs second race, as Higher Up and Pansys First charged on even terms at the finish.
