Sensational Racing and
a Big BIunder at
Jerome Park.
MIKE OWYER's GREAT LUCK.
Kingston and Other Cracks Co.
ing Out to Garfield Park,

Yesterdays programme at Jerome Park
looked dun and uninteresting. There was
never truer saying, however, than that OF
appearances are deceitful." II proved to be
n sensational days racing. The run for the
champion Stakes was the prettiest race OF
the year. In the Orange Stakes the mighty
Kingston was defeated by Terrtfer, but only
through great blunder on the part OF Jockey
Hamilton.
Every one is liable to make a mistake once
IN a while and Tony Hamilton proved no eX-
ccption to the rule. In the race mentioned
Kingston and Terrifer came down the stretch
head and head, Llttleneld whipping and
squirting the latter, and Hamilton holding
Kingston under strong pull, The finish was
n furlong below the regular finishing point.
This was a necessity on account OF the dis
tance, seven furongs, and OF the peculiar
conformation of the jerome Park track.
Before reaching the regular rnish Little
field stopped riding, so did Hamilton. Both
Jockeys apparently had forgotten that the
fnish was below the stand. The spectators
saw the blunder and wild yell rent the air.
Above all the noise Littlefeid heard the voice
OF wyndham Walden, the trainer, yell; $50
on, Fred" Then Lttleneld realized his blum
dor. Like flash Terriner sped to the front-
He gained a lengths advantage, and before
Hamilton was aware OF his mistake the win
ming post had been passed, with Terriner
neck In front.
It was stupendous blunder and the people
did not cease their comment all tho after
noon. Kingdoms owner, Michael ]. Dwyer,
was terribly disappointed, but was unusually
fortunate Just the same. lie Is great
plunger, and when the odds were put up he
sent In $4,000 to be placed on Kingston.
The price against the brown horse was 20
10, and the boOkies were so sure that King
ston would win that they refused Dryers
money. The plunger then placed $4,000 10
win g. 900 on Terriner for place. The book
makers took In all the straight money they
could get against TerIlner and several were
badly bit.
An amusing circumstance in connection
with the AFFAIR was the fact that several OF
the district messenger boys who buy tickets
! for the fair bettOrS, turned b0okmakerS ana
came TO grief. Women VIII Inevitably play
lOngShots, aud Terriner at 10 TO Just suited
them. They were taking the chances that
Kingston would fall down, The messenger
| boys, however. thought Kingston copper
bottOmed alright, and they held out the Ter
riicr money with most direful results These
| who did so had to hustle hard 10 make up
| the difference, and In two cases they failed,
| and the matter was reported 10 hf. Wlthers-
| lie said that the District Messenger company
was responsible.
Firenze, the grandest mare that was ever
| fOaled demonstrated that she was fuzzy able
| TO defend her title as Queen OF the Turf. She
beat Riley and Raoeland in a common canter,
| finishing with mouth wide open and under
| double pull. In the fourth race Knapsaek.
| Pedestrian, Take Back and Count nnished
Pagan In the last event made up the most
sensational days sport ever seen at jerome
| Park.
Kingston will be taken TO Chicago TO COM
pete FOR the GARFIELD Park stake OF 100000,
which is TO be run on Aug. 22 He will leave
| on the Pennsylvania Railroad at 3 o'clock
charge % Of hin, ana banquet viii probably be
taken along as company for Kingston. Ra-
cine VIII go some time next week. There Is
doubt about Tenny's being sent on Marion
c. and Verge d'Or are sure starters. The race
should be grand one, and all the prominent
eastern turfiDen viii go on TO the Windy CITY

news.
Gen, w II. Jackson, proprietor OF the Belle
Meade stable and the breeder OF I'd UorTigAnB
crack colt Huron, by IroQuois, out Of Brunette,
said Yesterday concerning the statement that
huron had been declared out OF the futuTity
stakes that such declaration could only
have been made or authorized by Mr.. Corri-
gan. IL has been Gen. Jaekson's custom TO
avoid aCcumulating fOrfeits by asking pur
chaSers OF yearlingS whether they desired
their horses to remain In the Futufity.
II not then Gen. jackson or his agent would
declare them out. Gen. Jackson Is sure that
Huron was not declared and Mr.. Corftgan
saws that he did not authorize any one 70
scratch the colt. All the same, three protests
have been made against Huron's starting
He Is a great colt and has an oKcollent chance
20 win. There Will probably be great nghS
over the matter.
