sEYMoUR's SPEED YESTERDAY
There was another good days racing at Ivy
City yesterday. The event of the day was the
capital stakes for two-year olds at three-ouar-
tiers OF a mile, and il resulted in a splendid
contest. Mr.. Cassatt's Maidstone was
the favorite, but Senorita, McLauehlin's
mount, was the strongest kind of a tip while
Champagne Charley, in spite Of his 5-pound
penalty, received substantial support. sey-
mour's owner thought he would win almost
sure, and before the race told a party
OF friends in the clubhouse that his
colt would certainly be first or second
Had the colt been differently ridden il is more
than probable he would have been first past
the post. Going up the back stretch he was in
a very fair position, but next the rails. Ham,
ilton, thinking he would not be able 10 get
through, took the colt to the outside,
and when the turn reached again
tried to change his position and come through
on the inside. Although he came very fast be
could not quite reach Champagne Charlie, who
won a good race by half length. with Sey-
mour fully three lengths before Holiday. Holt
day, by the way, showed some of her old time
speed, but like most horses that have suffered
with throat troubles she couldn't stay the route.
Father Bill DAILY won the next two races, the
first with Bronzomarte and the second with
Glory. Both horses won from end 10 end, as
