at Guttenburg.
BOHEMIAN PROVES HIS WORTH.
Too Much Expected Of the Two
year-0Id Bitten.

The thousands Of people who spent then
holiday at the hilltop track yesterday thor.
oughly enjoyed the programme put up BY tho
Association. The racing was excellent
throughout, ana several Of the events were
marked by close and exciting inisheA
The most interesting event OF the day was
the wonderful Improvement In form Of Bohe-
mian, who defeated good field at mile with
great ease. This performance Is not consist
ent with his previous running. yet no ques-
tions were asked or no surprise evinced at his
easy victory. IL was evident that the horse
has been reserved for an old-time Guttenburg
hog-killing.
Sam Emery must have had the tip, for he
won thousands OF dollars on the horses VIC
tory. The price against Bohemian at the
opening was 10 to 1. Emery went from book
TO book offering s1OO bills. II these were 70.
fused he would place s75 or $50 or any
| thing the book would take. As in four
cases out of nve Emery is generally
wrong in his plunges, the bookmakers
took his money cheeriully and asked no
questions, particularly as on form 1t looked Is
though the Issaquena lilly and Apollo would
finish first and second. Emery must have
bcN6Tui tuUusuHu uoiluIS Ou DUutuluk0S
and the public seeing what good thing was
to be pulled OF jumped on also. Bohemian
went to the post at . to /, and he won easily.
Another interesting happening was the
welching OF the Brooklyn Club, which Is
backed, 1t Is said, by party named stage.
They roolishly laid up against Mohican, be-
cause on form Mohican looked the surest kind
81 q sure winner. In the icriy B;ossoua, Bus-
teed, Sir George race the. other DAY
Mohican was fourth, Ind heads
only separated the quartet. Mohican
would very nearly have won had the distance
let Daisyrian make the running to tne head
| OF the stretch and then Mohican came away
and won In a canter and under double pull.

| syrian was second aud Saunterer third.
Why Bitten should have been made favor
ite In the Thanksgiving Handicap was .
source OF wonder TO the writer. Granting
that he is q cracking good two-year-old, is It
give weight TO every horse In the race, and
especially at distance over mile. With
Saunterer IN at 102 pounds and Bitten at 93,
1t was dollars 70 cents that the former
Saunterer won handily In the fast time Of
Lao, and with the generous odds OF o 70
% ES' as :. es
not fairly get In motion until half mile
has been covered. Young Doane handled
him very.in1udlciously by rushing him Into
II left him hothing to nnish with
and yet he proved himself unexceptinnally
game BY hanging on to the last moment
but he never will be able to beat good-class
horse like sauntsrer at such weighta Kim
berly was also poorly handled. He runs bet.
the mistake OF allowing the horses be had to
| beat get so far away from him. Nina Archer
was lett at the post.
In the rush to get on Dave Gideon's Holm
del colt in the NTH race everything else Vas
dance colt at 8 to I, Uncle sim at 8 TO and
Henrietta at 10 to l. All OF these were false
prices, and the Holmdel colt was very false
handiIy at the end, cisverly ridden BY Blake.
Henrietta, whose last race at Jerome Park
was good one, was second. A curious coin
cidence Is that both are daughters OF Tro-
mont. Abundance colt was third and the
favorite was fourth.
! MONDAY, favorite In the first race, won
handily, though Blake had to ride him q trtne
! at the nnish. Tom Hayes also came fast At
| the end, and but for the bad start he got
would have won. Dwyer, who rode him, has
! the fault OF being slow o. get away nom the
post. This is probably the result OF inexpert-
ence, for he has only been riding o snort time.
The Faux Pas colt got away in front In the
second race and stayed there TO the finish,
| hard pressed by Tammany Hail. Emperor
Otho was heavily backed, but got away badly
and was interfered with several times Padre
was good third.
The Gloucester track Will close Its gates to-
! morrow and next week the Guttenbury AssO-
| citation may look tor an tnflux OF the sorry
| nagS that have been digging around the SIX
! furlong track near Camden for the past two
| years. Just what the Gloucester manage
inent Will 40 Is not known. They cannot get
the Washington track, and there Is no other
available place ont side OF the Dundee course.
! II Is not likely that they Will secure
the latter place, Tor they would have TO OPP
pose Guttenburg or else secure dates from
the latter Association. The Guttenburg peo.
pie are not likely TO shake hands with any
newcomer, however. The chances are that
dictments found against him by the Camden
county Grand Jury and reopen his merry-go-
round once more.
Do the Hudson County Jockey Club omctals
intend 10 let the Brodic-Dwyer matter drop
altogether. charges have been made oy
prominent turfman against Coloreu trainer,
and have not been proved. The Executive COM
mittee should seek all the evidence possioie
In this, and Brodie should demand that the
charges be proved or disproved.

colt by Ben d Or, out OF Heel and Toe, 10 b. 4.
