Tho weeping skies kept . great many per-
sons from going to Morris Park yesterday to
SEQ the Belmont and Larchmont Stakes docid-
cd. Tho track was dotted here and there with
tiny pools OF water and the flying feet OF tho
thoroughbreds scattered the clineing mud In
every direction. playing sad havoc with tho
elken jackets OF those Jockeys who were un-
fortunate enough to be In the rear during any
portion Of the journey.
The Belmont Stakes. although worth to the
winner over $1,000. had only Louis stusrt's
Patron and Marcus Days shellbark as start
ers. and OF course Patron. who was an over
whelming favorite. won with ridiculous ease.
The public fandly hoped that Tammany and
Tho Pepper would also start for tho Belmont
but Byrnes was afraid to risk defeat with Tam
many ct seven pounds tho worst Of the
weights. and so kept tho chestnut winner Of
tho Withors In tho stable and sent Shellbark
out aftar second money Tho Pepper was
savcd for another day. and Starter Rowe found
only Patron and Shcllbark at the post Patron
was fnvorite Mt and to on. and. taking the
lead ut Aagfall. romped all the WY and
won hands down by dozen lengths. Garri-
con punched sholl5ark with his heels going

and won In romp.
There were six starters for tho LArchmont
Stakes. Sir Francis. Hcsperus. Ertcmason.
and Donovan each having host Of admirers.
Matt Allen thought that Sir Francis would win
handily II the track was dry. but he was doubt
full how the colt would behave In the mud.
When the flag fell to a good start. Sir Francis
took the lend. and with Hesperus second and
the Beatrice colt third showed the way until
rising the small elevation little less than n
quarter OF a mile from home. At that point
Smms called on Donovan. and the son OF Blue
Eyes quickly overhauled the half brother
to Thora. A hundred yards from tho wire.
and Donovan looked n winner: but tirod
