this season have placed her in the very
van OF the galaxy OF purse and stake
winners. She carried penalties. allow
ing Alice d. the pride OF the Lakeland
stables, fourteen pounds, but she was
given two pounds by the courageous
Newton, son of Billet and VaSsar.
From the stretch to the wire Yo TAM
ing home, much like q school boy at
play. The stakes melted the Kendall
stable just 2l,S25.
The track was heavy. The mud was
fetlock deep and thick as batter. and
this condition accounts for the slow
time. But the events, five in number,
were generally thrilling. The element
of uncertainty predominated in at least
three Of the five races, but the contest
for the stakes mentioned was apparently
considered ''cincli" by the talent.
The attendance was 5000 i'll round num-
berS, and enthusiasm dominated. Again
the railway facilities were eXecrable.
The train that should have left, as adj
vertised, from the union depot at 2:35
was over half hour late, and those
who went out by that route missed the
first event. Hundreds. however, who
had been taught lesson the previous
day went to the depot, and, learning
thdtinO move had been made to make
up the train at 1:30, lett in disgust to
take street car. They saved time by
it, and We're just in time to find the
horses at the post. The street car serv-
ice, however, might be improved. for
there are veXatious delays at the juno
ton OF University and Smelling ave-
nueS. In order that one may be GER
tain to be at the track in time. lie should
start at least half hour earlier than
the scheduled time promises TO land
him early enough to witness the OPEN
ing event OF the day.
Ff,e Track Was Heavy.
Ceverton. Chief Justice and German
scratched, and only three performers
started the run Of mile and three
eighthS for the rich Hamline stakes. AS
has been intimated, the track was
heavy with mud, and 1t was largely a
question OF endurance. Still there was
no question OF the qualities of the beau
tiful daughter of Joe Hooker and Mari
an. The ''bOOKieS' saw 10 chance to do
business on her, and RETAINED from
making any markings, although l
to 50 was posted in at least one
instance. So it is safe to say there was
no betting on Yo Tambien. Newton
opened at 10 to l, with no one ready to
venture dollars and then he was forced
up TO 20 10 l straight and 3 to 10 for
place. Considerable place tickets were
bought. and Alice ID at 80 10 found no
friends, save for place at 2 to l. Alice
was considered out of il by the talent,
and about ali the betting that was
really done was in playing Newton for
place.
Newton made good start at the drop
of the flag, but Britton held him down.
and 70 TamDien took the offer and
Snon shot mast D,,ly IN Iva obaoi-od IL,
turn by Thorpe. This let Alice D make
the pace, but 1t was for few seconds
only. Yo Tambien chafed at the re-
straint Her royal blood and racing in
stinct would not admit of Il rival lead
ing the way, and she bounded to the
front despite her ''jOck's' efforts to
hold her to
An Easy CaRter.
Then the race was won. Alice d led
the way up the stretch and past the
grand stand. and wild shout went up
from 2,L0U lnSty throats, but this was
only as a cry OF encouragement. for
none thought for moment that the
little lady could hold her mighty rivals
in check. 10 Tambien was romping
along at an easy pace III second place
with Newton OF her flank, but when
the turn was reached 70 Tambien re-
belled against sill check and shot
TO the front. closely followed by
Newton. Alice ID was helpless.
She fell back ten lengths, but she
Struggled through the mud with mag
niticent courage, and Gown the back
stretch regained a modicum of lost
ground, only to lose it again when the
great 1o Iambien let out another link.
Meanwhile Newton clung Oil tena
ciouSly, and when the coiors showed into
the stretch Britton was Iaboring as few
jocks know how. But it was a fight
against superior prowesS. The match
less chestnut tiily could not be over
hauled, and hundred yards from the
wire Britton mercifully allowed his
mount to canter in. Alice d was
dozen lengths behinl. While the eX
citement was apparently intense, it wa:
not voiced.
