MoKELLo RAN AWAY WITH THE SEA AND SOUND
STAKES.


announced probable starters at Sheepshead Bay
yesterday did not bring out larger number OF spec
tatOrs but although the grand stand was thiny
tenanted, there plenty Of stir In the betingIing.
especially before the Bridge Handicap ltn.
Lampghter, 70 Tambicn ARA and Leonawell were
all supported eagerly and with large bets By their
groups of many supporters. Deep regret was eX-
pressed all sides when II became known that York
vile Belle too sick to run. 1t was not long
before noon when the queenly FLY attacked by
so severe chill that 1t was out of the question to
start her. +. a. Ehret Is not frequent v.itor at
the tack Business usually keep him away.
But he present yesterday and had expected his
FLY get first place In the $4,000 Bridge Handicap
until she fell Ill. Geyr;son TO ride the Belle. and
Trainer Allen, Jockey Garrison and all the friends
and followers of the stable anticipated victory for
the FLY noteworthy as that which she achieved
in Omnibus Stakes. 1t Is probable that she VIII
recover from her Illness, and she may be seen
racing again at the Brooklyn Jockey Clubs meeting
II Hamilton Ind not sacrificed all Lamplighters
chances of success In the September Stakes ON Sep
tember BY his bad riding In urging the colt on the
bacstretch to catch Fdeo, although Lampigher car
ried 125 pounds then Iamilton called on his mount
far early in the race Lamplghters weight would
undoubtedly have been $50 pounds in the Bridge
Handicap and at that weight 1t would have been
impossible to get TO against him AT any time yes
terisy after Yorkvile Belle had been withdrawn. But
before the Bridge Handicap was run some careless
injudicious and unobservant followers OF the turf
did not realize how badly Hamilton rode
Lamplighter In the September Stakes. After the
Bridge Handicap there general chorus OF assent
and approval for The Tribunes criticism OF that rid
ing II any remote, unfriended, solitary and slow
disseptcr could be found he was some beardess boy
who had strayed within the precincts of the turf very
recently, aud who had not yet become acquainted with
the rudments Of riding. Every person who Knows
anything at all about racing knows that Hamilton
rode Lampghter wretchedly in the september Stakes
and rode lam III Just the night way yesterday. He
received the most vigorous instructions yesterday and
he obeyed them to the letter. lie did not try TO
catch Fidelio the backstretch yesterday as he did
September g. He caught and passed Fideo in
the homestrech in the Bridge Handicap, and that is
where he should have caught and passed him Oh
September g.
Lamplighter's performance was one OF remarkable
merit. He bad tempered at the post and wheeled,
ana whirled, dashed out and lunGed, rushed TO and
fro, and tried to unseat Hamilton. His hackers
feared that these wild antics Of his might impair his
speed and staying power. he carrying 127
pounds, and giving away much weight to every COM
pctitOr except 70 Tambien. Fidelio set strong
pace all the way, and although ne carried twenty
seven pounds less than Lampligter, his exploit was
mean In fact, It was far better one than
any turfnan outside OF the charmed circle OF W. c.
Days stable secrets imagined. Lampghter,'
ming, with his superb, sweeping stride, with grace
and power and force in every majestic motion, was
fine TO look upon. lie passed one horse
after another in most Impressive style when Hami
ton moved up with him. When he reached
the head of the homestretcb 1t evident that he
would capture first place, for he making clear
his Superiority to every rival he dashed along
still, Hamilton rad TO whip and spur freely TO
get the big, powerful fellow thoroughly extended.
Lampugher would have won the race. even If the
Handicapped had put 100 pounds his back. 1t was
by far the best race that he ran and compares
well with any race ever run by three yearold be-

pounds up to Lamp ighter's l25, Pactolus won the
september Stakes, but even at that difference IN
weights Lamplighter would have won If he had been
properly ridden.
1he renowned Western FLY 70 Tambien carried the
hopes and money Of many Western turfmen. She
ridden by Fitzpatrick, and was running smoothly
steadily in good position when she was crowded
into fence, badly injured, and put out of the race
Ftzpatrick's left leg damned and bruised. This
deporable accident due TO the reckless and foul
riding of of the jockeys. Severe action should
he taken to stop such practices.
August Belmont was inclined TO doubt Lady Vioet's
ability TO defeat MOreo in the Sea and Sound stakes
and did not like TO his FLY in severe struggle
with so heavy a weight 122 pounds In the saddle
as she might thus be untitled for many valuable en-
cacements So he started Bellegarde. with only 40
pounds up. In place OF Lady Violet some unlounded
reports got In circulation that Morello was not In good
condition. The colt In the best possible trim, lar
better than on Futury Day. His owner. William ~
oingerly OF Philadelphia present, and assured his
Intimate friends that Morello certain TO win. He
said We propose to take some more money from
New York over 10 Philadelphia. Not that we need IT,
but then we might well have II as the NewYorkcs'
1t was surprising that the booumakers vcntured to
give II to 10 and even 10 . against MoreIo " Is
