Colt Montana Makes the
Best Showing.

F. NEW YORK, June H.-All the suburban
candidates quartered at Sheershead Bay
were given a trial this morning. There
was heavy fog st first, which did not
clear away until O'Clock. The track was
heavy. A large number Of racing men
were in the grand stand and in the judges,
box. Scarcely had the fog cleared away
before Bermuda and Major Domo wefe
seen cantering around the track. Ber-
muda presented rather a "dickey" appear
ance with his legs heavily bandaged. He
worked the handicap distance in BIG fiat.
He pulled up lame and sore, much to the
| regret of his owner and friends, who had
backed him in the winter books. He will
be withdrawn.
MAJOR DoMo
was sent on his journey, but his owner,
Mr.. w. J. Spiers, did not wish the Major
to do any more than mile and half at q
two-minute clip. Mr. Spisrs, hat in hand,
gave the boy instructions to pull up, but
the major was too full of running and lin
ished the mile and a half in $3.50, nearly
pulling the boy out of the saddle. He was
given his real hard work for the big handi-
cap Tuesday morning last, working the
handicap distance with weight upin .10M
MIR. Spiers is said to have made satisfac-
tory arrangements with w. @. Daily to
have the service of Johnny Lambley for
the major.
MIR. Foxhall Keene and his trainer,
Albert Cooper, next appeared on the track

tional time being one-eighth, 1391; one

one and one-eighth, 1:5955 one and quar-
ter, 2:1455. He worked out five furlongs
afterwards in 1921. Mr.. Keene was sorely
disappointed at the horses work, as was
Trainer Albert Cooper.
John Higgins next appeared with his
CRACK COLT LocHATcHIE
in company with Stalactite, John Kecsher
Kilbeer and others. Lochatchie, with
Hamilton up, cantered to the starting post
which Mr.. Higgins had mapped out for
him, Stalactite and Yemen were placed in

2:u1l. He was worked six furlongs in
blankets afterwards. Mr.. Higgins was
well satisfied with the work, as the colt
carried fully 11S pounds, and has only 1O2
pounds TO carry in the big event Satur-
day. Matt Byrues with his crack horses
MONTANA AND SIR MATTHEW
next appeared. Montana had Brant up.
and had Sir Matthew carry him along in
the early part of the journey, Montana
would have made as sensational g trial as
Salvador made couple of years ago His
work was the fastest time made during the
morning. He covered the distance in
2:11 fat, with consumate ease, aad finished
another quarter strong and well, working
the full mile and half in 2:371l. This per-
/ formance set the rail birds talking. It
seemed to be the general opinion that Mar
Gus Days crack, who VIII De ridden by
Garrison, would get the winners portion
of the stake.
PIoKNIcKER, LOOKING WELL AND MOVING
FREELY,
then covered the mile and a quarter in
2:14 fat He did not have much to spare
when he finished, and his trial did not at
tract much ton, coming as 1t did i'm
mediately after Montana's exhibition.
