RUNYoN swERYEp AND KNOCKED DOWN SIR
FRANCIS.
In the Fatbush Stakes at Sheepshead Bay yes'eruhS
sigh-cass two year olds were required 10 run so,o
urlongs the earth track for the Ws' uiho u'''
year. August Belmonts feet FLY Lady Woo. wa
the favorite at odds on. she deserved I" We vi
public form and she won easily With Dr. Rice second
and Miss Mauae third. Or. Rice was te eeooh'
choice the betting. but Runyon OF the hc' S'"''e
was backed Iavshy for second and thra p'$co al Wv
the Iing and carried large sums Ior hrs' Pooi'.
Runyon got OF In front, and was rlddeh oy i"''' ou
he was both high in and short OF sufncient WORK.
Al the end Of six furlongs ne swerVeo
sbsrulv across the track, crossing his own
stable companion, SIR Francis, VINO 1eh pu'
WAS not hurt. Nor Narvaez, the rider OF DIT
Francis injured 1t passing strange that II~'er
Allen OF the Ehet Stable. preferred 10 start huhy
in the Faatbush stakes instead OF bon Aonzo, inc
,rnner Of the Junior Championship Mr.. Allen worked
both YorkviIle Eele and Don AOnxo in public before
all the spectators shortly previous to TIE nrst iSce
u Was easy to then that Don Aenzc was In pe''er
condition than kunyon TO run seven fur1ones against
such u FLY Lady Violet whom Don IAonzo deiesteo
easily for the Junior Championship. But MI. Alien
is one of the eccentric men ever seen Oh ue
Irpericap turf or anywhere else. He thought tha'
Ranyon had q good chance TO beat Lady Violet, ana
hs preferred 70 save Don Aonzo for the Great
Eastern Handicap on saturday, In wmeh INC
Don will certainly be compelled 10 carry Tile
highest weight and a very high enc at that oi
course Handicapped possibly nave 1orgotleh tc
brilliant style IL which Dor AloILO won the Junior
Champica stakes, and the best twoyear-oids are com
yelled to carry heavy weights in the Great EAs'erh
Handicap, since that race has been Won osSily py
colt carrying 1875 pounds and since HIS highhe's
proved that two old colt can win such STAKE a.
tn PutuIity In handsome fashion with 10 POUNDS vi
N hack Holding horses In reserve for rich hand>
cans or great stakes instead OF winning races with
mem Is rarely profitable policy. Runyon carried 100
much flesh to seven furlongs with Lazy Nloiet
yesterday but a nye furlongs he would have gwen
Her severe struggle and could have outrun the rest OF
the field Sir Francis has improved since he ran In
the Futurlty apd he was gaining on the leaders when
he fell
Rosa H. led in the betting on the frst race, but
was third at the finish. Queenie Trowbndge winning
with plenty in hand. Her owner, McCanerty' fooe
her This mare has amazing speed at short dis
+ane-s She could make even DR.. Hasbrouk do
his best at five furlongs McCahery's friehds won
largely on the mares victory. Lightly weighted
Dolie McCone ran second.
smms rode Faraday in a most amazing way III the
second race. Faraday was the favorte on september
] Parvenue ran q mile on this track, took long le"a
early in the race and kept 1T to the end Any owner
trainer or Jockey who that race ought to have
sense enough to understand that it would not be
safe fer such a colt as Faraday let Parvenue got
lead of six lengths in the backstretch without ana
earnest or Intelligent effort to close the gap. But
that is Just what Simms did. And IL Is Jockey 0l
that measure of intellect that can command
q salary Of more than $4,000 for 1898
Simms seemed TO suppose that ParVehue
would come back to Faraday, and he did not set 10
work with genuine v1gor TO get near Parvenue uhul
he reached the last furlong. He appeared 10 thih
that Parvenue would drop back TO Farnday OF MS o"
accord. But Fsraday displayed no disposition 10 40
anything of the sort september l, nor did ne yes
terday so ne defeated Faraday easily Parvenue ran
the mile on September in ID, carrying 100 pounos'
Yesterday his time exactly 1 Al again, and he
carried 1O7 pounds. FSradys sides betrayed no spur
marks, and altogether Sims rode very weak very
Mjudged and very singular race.
On Saturday Pckpocket beat Lamplighter for second
place In the september Stakes. Yesterday VAIN oihs
up, he ran the miserable race imaginable aSialst
He seemingly sulked badly as Tea Tray does IN
MANY of his races. Ii by far the worst race tlet
ptckpocket And this Is the colt that Trainer
Rogers Is credited with and constantly insisting Is
within eight pounds of Lamplighter Leonawell WAS
short of work having been INDUCED since ne ran seconn
in the New-York Handicap. and it required all OF
Taras energy and skill TO get him home before julien
Al the head of the homestretch IL appeared ID be
practical certainty that both Julien and Count would
defeat Leonawei But Tara did not despair. and by
dlnt Of the hardest of hard work, he carried on me
and Sims on Leonawell, II is likely nat nat
Tlckpocket would have been first Leonawe
has s,Iked IN his fully as often as Fckpocket
eyerhas But some Jockeys can force sulky horse 10
extend himself. Others can't or don't.
Taralro de another fine race on Eagle Bird In the
fourth contest. He Obliged 10 ride vigorously 70
defeat the Hrniua colt ana the Laura "eum '"io'
