Sensational Racing and
a Big BIunder at
Jerome Park.
MIKE DWYER's GREAT LUCK.
Kingston and Other Cracks Co.
Ing Out 10 Garfield Park.

Yesterdays programme at Jerome PARK
looked dun and uninterestlng. There was
never truer saying, however, than that OF
" appearances are deceitful." It 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 Terriler, but only
through great biunder on the part OF Jockey
Hamilton.
Every one IA liable 10 make mistake once
In while and Tony Hamilton proved no ex-
Ception TO the rule. In the race mentioned
Kingston and Terri1er came down the stretch
head and head, Littlcneld whipping and
spurring the latter, and Hamilton holding
Kingston under a strong pull, The finish was
a furlong below the regular finishing point.
This was necessity on account OF the dis
tance, seven furlOngs, and OF the peculiar
conformation OF the Jerome Park track.
Before reaching the regular finish Little
field stopped riding. so did Hamilton. Both
jockeys apparently had forgotten that the
finish was below the stand. The spectators
saw the blunder and a wild yell rent the air.
Above oil the noise Lttlefield heard the voice
of wyndham walden, the trainer, yell: "Go
on, Fred" Then Littieneld realized his blum
der. Like a Hash Terriner sped TO the front.
He gained lengths advantage, and before
Hamilton was aware OF his mistake the win
ming post had been passed, with TerTtner q
neck In front.
It was a stupendous blunder and the people
did not cease their comment all the after
Mfahaal 4
was terribly disappointed, but was unusually
fortunate Just the same. He 10 great
plunger, and when the odds were put up he
sent in 100000 TO be placed on Kingston.
The price against the brown horse was to
10, and the bOokies were 30 sure that King
ston would win that they refused Dwyer's
money. The plunger then placed $4,000 to
win e., 900 on Terrifer for place. The book
makers took in all the straight money they
could get against Terriner and several were
badly bit.
An amusing circumstance in connection
with the aIair was the fact that several Of
the district messenger boys who buy tickets
for the fair beLtors, turned boOkmAkers and
came TO grief Women Will inevitably play
long shots, and Terrirer at 10 TO Just suited
them. They were taking the chances that
hllHhL0n WOulu lhu uOhlf lno hCh9ohkOA
boys, however, thought Kingston a copper
bottomed alright, and they held out the Ter
rider money With most direful results Those
who did so had 10 hustle hard 20 make up
the difference, and In two cases they failed,
and the matter was reported TO Mr.. WitherS.
He said that the District Messenger Company
was responsible.
FtrepZe, the grandest mare that was ever
foaied, demonstrated that she was fully able
to defend her title as Queen OF the Turf. She
beat Riley and Raceland In common canter,
finishing with mouth wide open and under q
double pull. In the fourth race Knapeaok,
Pedestrian, Take Back and Count nnished
about heads apart, and brilliant victory by
Pagan IN the last event made up the most
sensational days sport ever seen at Jerome
Park.
Apy enterprising association that viii offer
slO, 900 for a race between LOngstreet and
FirenZe, at mile and hall, Will receive the
blessings and patronage OF the sporting
public. They would make grand race. Tho
toney Island Jockey club could oner this
purse AT It's Fail meeting. IL would be dol
lars 10 cents that Il would be the sensational
race Of the year and the record would be
smashed to flinders.
Kingston will be taken TO chicago TO COM
pete FOR the Garfield Park stake OF $4,000.
which Is TO be run on Aug. 22. He Will leave
on the Pennsylvania Railroad at O'CLOCK
Monday evening. Hardy Campbell viii take
charge Of MIN, and Banquet win probably be
taken along as company for Kingston. Ra-
cine will go some time next week. There is
doubt about Tennys being sent on. Marion
O. and Verge dor are sure starters the race
should be a grand one, and all the prominent
eastern turtmen will go on 10 the Windy City
