McKlyo Cash, driven by Joe O'- Brien the last two heats, yester- day captured the featured free- for-all of the Old Home Week racing program when the Mone- ton-owned horse won the second and third beats after finishing fifth in yhe first mile. It was another o the usual upsets that have been occurring since the meeting got underway and O'Brien got a. big hand from the huge crowd for his great efforts.

And es an added ectacle the crowd were brought to their feet before the first heat got underway as Tip Abbe unseated O'Brien up the stretch, but game as they come the slim Jockey hung on to the reins for over a. 100 yards until he brought his charge to e halt. O'Brien escaped unhurt in his gallant ‘exhibition but Tip Abbe, pre-racc favorite was drawn f: om the race owing to a cut ten- dc-h in his left hind foot.

While the free-for-allers held the spotlight the rabid race fans that again taxed the capacity of the big pleiit to the llmlt, snw stirring duels of speed in the tther three classes raced. with Donald G. and Billy P. C. Parker dividing the two heats of the first division of ‘he 2:29 Pace. Lynn- mite coming back with bursts of speed tn win the 2:26 Pace with a summary of 2-1-1. and Lustlcla. Charlie Chandler's rapidly im- proving trotter never lifted a nose ln winning the first two heats of the 212B Trot before dropping back to sixth in the final after going away in eighth horse place.

And horses continued to take new records; Lynnmltes mile in 2.12 1-5 was a new tab for the daughter of Volomltc: Ann Clelzu. hnughtcr of Abner T.
