Proper had previously rolled up three line and sinker on his win of the Ch was coupled in the betting w As Proper carried 123 pounds and Dain- ually rubbed to 9 to 5. Oarsman, mount of Jockey Burns, with 119 pounds up, came next in demand. Fossil was congidered too small to negotiate 114 pounds, and his price went from 6 to 9. | Claude was asked to carry the same weight as Proper, but his stock appears to have taken a slump in the market, for Mike Daly’s Derby winner was not in brisk ‘demand. Great things were expected -of Divina, but she disap- pointed again. ¢ Oarsman and Proper were a trifle gay at the post, but Jake Holtman finally got the nine starters settled, releasing the barrier to a pretty start. Under orders, Bullman went right to the'front with Fossil, Martin on Proper drouping in second, Dainty and Oarsman follow- ing next. There was little change among the leaders until the stretch was reached, then Oarsman bettered his position a peg, and the real struggle began. Fossil did not show prreeptible signs of tiring, and opposite the 'pad- dock with Proper at his rider’s saddle skirts, it looked as-if the little brown gelding would win. At this crucial mo- ment Martin drew his whip and Proper responded. SENSATIONAL FINISH.

The weather was cool and cloudy and the track fast. | The curtain'raiser, a five and a half | furlong ing sprint, had a decidedly open look.

In the six- | furlong number of three-vear-olds he met an inferior collection and, with J. Jones up, ‘won all the way. Coroner “Kelly, a 10 to 1 shot, led Iatruder out for the place. Standard, the strongly touted 2 to 1 favorite, tossed up the sponge in . the stretch. The winner opened at 9 to 5, later receding to 2% to 1. Although an infrequent performer, Double Six, owned by the wealthy New York turfman Jack Follansbee, usually goes through her turn in an accom- plished manner. The daughter of Domino and Gloaming made her sec- ond appearance of the season in the five and a half furiong scramble, next to be decided. She w.: extensively backed at the short price of 4 to 5, and registered an easy winner, with Larsen on her back. The 60 to 1 shot Quiet made all’ the running, and was beaten less than two lengths. Mimo, a 12 to 1 chance, ran third, -more. than three lengths before Misty’'s Pride, Tommy Burns' alertness at the bar- rier contributed to the success of Chorus Boy, winner of the six and a half furlong selling affair. Tommy beat the fleld away, and nothing got within a stone’s throw of him. At the !'G“ml nmxme‘x-—r‘n IDAY, of his {5598.
