The race for the Withers Stakes on Saturday
at Morris Park was fitting climax FOR week
OF glorious snort. and should the weather
continue iinc for he next two weeks the New
York Jockey Club will undoubtedly have the
most successful meeting OF its career.
Tammany ran tho mile in the Withers
Stakes with such consummate ease In l:4O
that racegoers were astounded and could
scarcely believe their own eyes when the
figures were hung out Trainer Matt Byrnes
said last season that Tammany was one
OF the greatest thoroughbreds ho had
ever trained. On Saturday he was more
decided. and placed tho son Of 1roquois
and Tuiahoma above even Salvador and
the superb Firenze. saying that Tammany was
the best hors, ho had ever sent to the post.
Byrnes is no child. and knows what he is talk
ing about. Patron. the colt that ran second. is
in the first fight OF three-year-olds. and it Is
more than probable that he was not at his very
best on Saturday. Us he was very nervous after
his race for the Brooklyn Derby. and for few
days would not eat. although he was coaXed In
every conceivable fashion. iorkvllo Belle
was considered quito a match for either Tam
many or Patron. and the talent lost very
heavily Oh Misers beautiful daughter. Mares
are never AZ their Lest in the spring however.
and Tammany and Patron will have to defeat
lorkrilie Belle later on before her owner and
trainer will concede their superiority.

fetior lot. nobody ever saw so many dazzling
