I STANTON, Del., June 20.— Unheralded, t six-year-old chestnut son of Canter, racing | J the blue and gold racing silks of B.

I gram of the Delaware Steeplechase and Race ; « Association at the diamond state track to day. His score, marking the second this I 1 year, came in one of the best finishes of the • z day when he survived a long drive for over f a z half mile to land honors by the narrowest t * a margins as he took the measure of the » i younger Abmeres, from the Tall Tree Sta-d ble, after they battled on even terms from i i the turn out of the back stretch. 1 Beaten five lengths as the two principals l c waged their stirring argument, Yellow Tulip 1 was third for the Bomar Stable and Trina, ,, 1 from the D.

In the leading event, listed sixth, the seven n starters left in good order, with Abmeres s particularly alert under jockey J. Borup to o be first from the stalls and leading the oth-le i- ers to the first turn. Unheralded was not t away as well as the Tall Trees Stable three-e. !- year-old but soon found his racing legs and i was lapped on the pacemaker as Night Tide e held to third place and Yellow Tulip was s fourth. This order was maintained down the e far side of the track and there was little to o choose between the fighting leaders as they y reached the final turn well in advance of if the others. In a long, hard battle to the e end, Unheralded did not permit Abmeres to o get more than a head in front and closed d courageously in the last eighth to drop his s nose down on the line.
