The chestnut son of Amphitheatre — Hand Out. ridden by the veteran, Clair Peabody, sported a two- length advantage over J. H. Davidsons Marymigirl, with the Potato Chip Farms Sam H. taking the minor award, three-parts o fa length farther back and a length clear of the favored Proud Sir, from the barn of Mrs. L. Palladino. Apprentice Lyman Richards, who recently esreved a 10-day suspension for rough riding, was in top form as he stole the show from his fellow apprentices, Charles Burr and Ralph Borgemenke, by piloting a triple through the first five races.
