heroine Parading Lady in a small but classy field of five jiamed for the 20000 BlackEyed Susan These two are demonstrably the best of the division East and West this spring Opposing them are Edgar

all the quintet start the winner will receive a net purse of 16500 with 4000 to the runnerup 2000 third and 1000 fourth fourthReal Real Delight also is engaged in the Coaching Club American Oaks on May 24 at Belmont and may emulate her stable mate Wistful who now has the distinction of being the only winner of the Fillies Triple Crown She is more clever than Wistful though she did not win the Ken ¬ tucky Oaks as easily The track was fast and the weather delightful when entries were taken though the forecastls for scat ¬ tered showers this evening Parading Lady runs in any going but there
