LOS ANGELES WINS EASILY.
BUDDHIsT's COLLAPSE IN THE MANHATTAN
HANDICAP.
A LARGE ATTENDANCE At THE JEROME PARE

A LARGE ATTENDANCE AT THE JEROMf FAhh
RACES AND SOME GOOD SPORT
The rain that fell Saturday night, Sunday and sun
day night mado the track so deep in mud so sloppy
and slippery. that Messrs. Haggin and Belmont de
cded IL was not safe to start FlrenZ. Salvador and
Raceland in the Manhattan Handicap at jerome Park
Yesterday so the three stars withdrawn, as was
also Captain Browns fleet fy senorita, leaving only
three horses In the race-LOs Angeles Lavnia Belle
and Buddhist While the reduction Of the field was
grievous disappointment to the unusually big crowd
that went Jerome for the express purpose of seeing
meeting OF the giants and gantesses OF the turf, II
would be unreasonable TO expect the owners of such
valuable horses expose them the risk Of wrench
ing shoulder hip or breaking a leg, simply to
nIease their frlonds the public. Flrenz Salvador,
Racclaud and Scnorta are public pets and we should
not like to them injured. 1t Is better TO postpone
their meeting till the weather clears and the track be-
comes dry and safe.
Buddhist, on the strength Of HIS recent defeat OF
Longstrcet and Tenny, made a screaming favonte
over his opponents, most of the heavy plungers
Intrtlsting big wads Of banknoes to his care. Los
Angeles opened favorlte at even money, but quickly
fell of TO TO 8. few trainers of the slick In
divIduar and smooth article stamp, backed Lavlnia
Belle at 10 l, and confidently expected her 10 win
She made the running for a mile, running we'll
within herself. but when Los Angeles collared her
I'm the stretch she yielded readily enough and Lucky
Baldwln's sterling lilly without ever being ex-
tended Buddhist was so full OF spirit, vgOr, dash
and impetuoslty for mile that he pulled Bergen out
of the saddle at every stride. At any moment he
seemed able TO stride over the two FLIES and lose
them. but when his head released quarter OF
a mile from homo he died away completely as
dandelion in Dakota blizzard and there nothing
left but helpless wreck SO shocking collapse is
seldom How you account for 1t! Buddhist
crawled six lengths behind Lavna Belle, with about
eight inches Of tongue hanging from the side of his
mouth.
The afternoon was damp, raw, marrowchillng;
sort Of foreastc OF what racing I'm NewJersey in No
vember Is going to be. Ugh Yet there were 1000
or 5000 spectators who seemed to be comfortable and
happy II the day had been bright the attendance
would have been like Suburban gathering.
