QUATRAIN RULES FAVORITE TO WIN big turf classic Continued from Pago one the night did not fall. The temperature at 7 a. m. was 58.

There was also, for the first time in the history of the turf, a special landing field for those who might arrive by airplane.

Mrs. Payne \\’hitney’s Chantey, the . good three-year-old colt which won bis first time out at Harve de Grace but was beaten last time out, will have many backers since Chantey is coupled in the bett'ng with H. F. Whitney’s colt Backbone to say nothing of Whitney’s other entrants, the Bat and Reminder. Kentucky Cardinal, which will bo ridden by Mack Garner, will have a following because of its name and because it was owned until a short time back by Desha Breckenridge, a Lexington, K'y., newspaper man, who sold the colt for $70,000. 0 C.
