N":HB ■■■■■■■ and$£* : :Sj Three-Yedr-Olds to Vie In Constitution Handicap Mile Event to Headline Seventh Week of Sport at Suffolk Downs BOSTON, Mass., June 19.— Featuring the seventh week of the Suffolk Downs meeting is the ,000 added Constitution Handicap, a mile test for three-year-olds to be decided next Saturday. Nominations for this, the last of the ,000 added stakes, closed today. With six weeks of the meeting passed into history there has been steady improvement in form, favorites accounting for a goodly number of the events as local racegoers have been able to get a better line on the various thoroughbreds taking part in the sport. The forthcoming weeks should see a continuance of formful sport and racing secretary Charles J. McLennan has so arranged his program that there will be ample opportunities for the majority of owners on the grounds to share in the purses. For each of his daily programs during the first five days condition offerings will highlight the programs, each of these allowance numbers carry purses of ,875. The majority are over a distance of ground, although on the mid-week program, the Twin Lakes Purse, at six furlongs, is the top offering. Beginning the week is the Town Lyne Purse, at one mile and a sixteenth, bringing out a small field of five. However, what may be lacking in the size of the field is more than made up by the evenly matched performers that have been named. It has attracted such well known performers as j Dense Path, a greatly improved daughter ! of Blackwood, a winner in four of her last j five starts and a leading candidate for the rich 0,000 added Hannah Dustin Handicap, to be decided later in the meeting. Arthur Murray, one of the stars of the j short-lived Florida season, by his recent] second, showed signs of coming back to his best winter form. Gondalina and Shorten- I ing, both winners of their last starts over ] j the local course, as well as Challomine, complete the company. ALFRED ROBERTSON— Suffered injuries in a bad fall in the first race at Aqueduct Saturday. Reports from Physicians Hospital revealed that his back wasnt fractured as was first reported.
