Benefiting from his recent experiences over hurdles, Masterpiece showed unexpected speed, and upset a plunge on Greenback. Masterpiece shot away from the rest of the field at the top of the straight, and had five lengths to spare from Greenback, with Delmond two and a half lengths away, third. The order of running was the same at the home turn. Panrose, who covered a lot of ground on the bends, will do better on a bigger track. The Genius showed by his Handicap win that his lessor, Mr. A. Mallick, had good foundation for his decision that the gelding would not race over jumps again. The Genius fought with Alan Verde practically all the way, enjoyed a slight lead into the straight, and then showed first-class stamina to win by a length and a quarter. Lynford, who had been third into the straight, maintained his position to the end. Backers of Perron and Enamour had poor runs for their money, for they were always in the rear. Silver Dance is not a really robust filly, but she made light of her 8.9, and won fairly comfortably from Agricola, who had chased the filly from the three furlongs. The winning margin was a length, with Odilion (third at the bend, but under pressure) five lengths further back. The great disappointment was Aladdin, who was backed for a small fortune. Aladdin was never stretching out properly, and it will be a long while before he starts favorite again. The pace shown by Cora Lynn after being hampered at the start Leone likes Kensington, and she likes a wet track. Both facts she again impressed upon backers at Kensington. Darby Munro rushed her straight into the lead, eased the pace down to suit himself, and then shot away again in the straight, to win by a length and three-quarters from Adye, with Rubens third. Adye, however, was the unlucky runner, for Blueline interfered badly with her turning out or the straight, and Adye lost six lengths. She was only fifth into the straight, where Rubens and Polette followed Color King had no difficulty in winning his second race in succession, and the best of this gelding has not been seen. He was a fair way back early, but McCarten moved him up sharply coming to the two furlongs, and Color King joined Absolute in the lead at the turn, where Warrain was third, then Colpac and Lefaire. Color King careered right away in the straight, and won by four lengths from Absolute, who struggled on surprisingly well. Lefaire, who passed a lot of beaten horses, was a length and a half…
