Moneymaker then shot forward, and eopn established himself iu second place, but Harold' Junior maintained his place'securely.

The scratch horse, Author Dillon, was' o disappointment. He was slow-to find his feet at tho start, and faulted after'going about, a quarter of a mile. He then settled down and trotted in fine stylo, but his chalice of winning had slipped by, though he managed to secure a'plaee among tho front division at the finish.
