In fact, they have been having lots of fun with the dollars of edear talent for several days past, and those that retired om the arena early in the game have just cause to kick emselves for not sticking to their blocks and slates. Sir Peter, Dow Williams' brown colt, getting away well, led ost of the way in the first race, and won handily from the ack Australian filly, Candid, who ran quite a game race. te was at 20 and 8 in the betting most of the time, but was .ehed down considerably at the close. Raphaels ran about 'e furlongs well up to the front, then died away, Mutineer .nntng into the &how, close up to Candid. Gladiola, at from 4 to C UM in the betting, led all the way the second race, and won quite easily by one and one-half igths. Alexis, slow to get moving, ran a great race, getting e place in fine style after being last for fully half the arney. This colt is on the improve, and should beat sorne- â dy's good horse soon. Centurion managed to beat Broad- ad, the favorite,out of third place. Zoolein is a phenomenal horse in the homestretch. He n finish stronger than any horse we have seen thus far at e meeting, to my mind. Tim Murphy led from start to imestretch, and looked all over a winner, but Zoolein, who -d attended him closely, made everything look sickly at the we with his meteoric rush. Rear Guard ran a good race, jsingupa lot of ground in the homestretch and beating ' m Murphy a head for place. Zoolein won by two length?, just how he did it we can not sayâhe was on the ex- eme outside going too fast to be able
