A good pro- gramme, however, made a crowd of over 2,000 brave the fury of the winds and water. They saw some very fair racing, though devoid of anything approaching the sensa- tional. Three favorites, a strong second choice and a 3 to 1 shot got first money, making a very fair day for the talent, taken all in all.

Zenobia, favorite, won all the way in the Admiral Cigarette Stake, a 50 to 1 shot, Comrade, getting the place, and Reali- zation the show. Imp. Stromboli got away absolutely last of all in the field of ten, and, while he improved his position, was not iD the first flight at the end. This stake was worth $1,150 to the winner.
