The Fairy had to be a good one to In @ pocket in the backstretch | she had to be whipped around the far turn, Meanwhile Meridian was skip- ping along in front, with Leo Skolny right with him, “The Fairy is beaten to-day,” every one was saying as she came to the stretch turn four lengths behind Leo Laeg with Meridian a length in front of him.
