Raceland as some impetuous people may discover
hereafter.
Only these two started for the Carlton Stakes, one
mile Emperor of Norfolk and Now or Never having
been withdrawn. The race was run In true Enensh
stv,s Roth Jockeys had waiting ORDERS
and tho first hall mile was oniy
canter both colts being undor
a double pull. So tho first quarter was covered IN
the ridiculous time OF 80 seconds When they reacheu
the half mile post tho two began racing. Hoao anu
head they ran down tho long lower curve and into tho

resnouse from Raceland Sir Dixon won with sur
prsing ease in the grotesquc time OF SO 81 Even

Cleveland can rur mile almost as slow as that
Mr. Belmont calmly remarked, "Wen, Raceiand
will do better ater,n folded the skirts OF his great
coat about him and sought the first train for town.
The truth of II simply Is that Raceland, tall long
Ieeeed and towering he looks, is made up OF dell
cate machinery. He requires exceptional care ana
skill In training and is wholly useless when no Is NOT
in perfect condition. Wait little later and see THIS
colt whom thoroughly wound up. Then even S2o'ooo
Sir Dixon may find himself overmatched
Most of the prominent turfmen who saw the BROOK
lyn Handicap OH Tuesday at the course with the
addition of D. D. withers, J. H. Bradford, j. y. DON
ner and few others, but the great mass OF amateur
admirers OF racing were absent, evidently waiting ior
better weather.
Outside of the Carlton Stables 1t was dull ana as
NAL day. with soft showers, soft track and soit
horses The Dryers won three races with Fordham'
Sir Dixon and Goldfish, all good performers IN mud.
Mclaughlin was two of these, but Fordhams hght
weight kept him of, and accepting mount on Eurus
he got second place.
1t was depressing to SEQ such cattle as Klamath
oueen of Elizabeth and Miracle win They are
poor stuff, indeed.
But the starting good, the management prompt
and efficient and every horse was I4dden TO win.
