The Eternal Bull gelding reached the end of about a mile and three-quarters three lengths before C. Mahlon Klines Brechin, who closed with a belated rush to head Montpeliers Pintor for second money. Mrs. G. H. Bost-wicks Hyvania, the favorite, appeared anchored under his topweight of 160 pounds-and struggled home five lengths out of the money in fourth place. Eternal Son paid 2.70 and was timed a moderate 3:15 as he completed a double for trainer Arthur White, who saddled Patrol to win the Cherry Malotte Steeplechase. External Relations set the pace for a bit more than a half mile, followed by Eternal Son and Coveted, while Hyvania and Brechin brought up the rear, but were not too far away. Nearing the far turn, the second time, External Relations began to falter and Eternal Son sailed into command, while Pintor moved up abruptly from fifth place to challenge. As the leaders sped around the far turn, Brechin made a move on the inside, and Hyvania attempted to match it on the outside.

With Ted Atkinson in the saddle, the Discovery gelding stepped the mile in a creditable 1:36% and coasted to the finish three and a half lengths before C. Mahlon Klines Kaster. Phantom Farms Nullify was almost a length farther back and four and a half lengths before Hampton Stables Easy Whirl. As the horses were coming back to the winners circle, it was announced that an objection had been lodged, but the crowd was not informed who had claimed it or whom it was against. The infield board also left the throng inthe dark. After the race was made official, with Arcave paying .30, the crowd of 14,507, smallest of the year, was told that J. Henry Alexandre, president of the Turf and Field Club, was presenting a trophy to trainer Tom Waller. A few minutes later, they were advised that Albert Widman, who rode Easy Whirl, had claimed that Arcave bothered him at the stretch turn, but that the movies had not substantiated him. E; P.
