were scratched, while at the eleventh hour
Newsum q Co. entered Miss Bell. The
betting fiuctuated from Lulie b to Fairy
Queen as favorites, and back again, while
q quiet tip was out on Little Rabbit who
was well backed. The post odds were
about 8 to against Fairy Queen and Mil

Newsum's entry.
Sheridan got them off in magnificent
style, all in bunch, with Millie Williams
a half length in the lead, Lulie second,
the others all we'll up except Egypt, who
was last. In this order they rounded the
turn and raced into the stretch, where
Fairy Queen began to make her run. In
half dozen jumps she passed Mille Will
Jams, closely followed by Miss Bell, both
whipping. Fairy Queen led under the
wire by half length, Miss Bell second,
Millie Williams two lengths in the rear.
The time, 0;50i, is exactly the same as
that made by Blessing last year in the
CASTOR Hotel stakes.
After the race Mr.. w. o. Scully, owner
OF Fairy Queen, was called to the Judges
stand and there presented with q magnif-
cent silver ice-cream service OF nine pieces,
the gift OF the Athletic Club. Jules Tay-

cautioned Mr.. Sculy that the service must
not be mistaken for champage lay out
but was intended exclusively for strawber-
ries and ice cream. Mr.. Scully responded
gracefully and intimated that Strawberries
and ice cream were not always in season
while champage was, but he comprom-
ised by inviting everybody on the judges
stand TO the Club House where Mumm
was the word.
