An Excit~fneut over the Hurdle Race
Other Event. of tho Day.
The last race at the Benniog track Yesterday.
shurdls race atIs miles. was productise OF
more excitement than any other Of the meet
ing. There we're four starters, Eearts and Tat
tier. owned by J. H. Lewis. jr., and Mary T..
and senpsian Lewis failed 30 declare Is TO
which OF his two he expected to win with. n
right which the public i. entitled to which the
club should enforce. but Tsttler wa. much the
favori:e For some unspparsnt reason be re-
fused st the third hurdle and Lewis shot to the
iron; with Ecarto, Mary T. closely
attending. A they ncared the last
hurdle. at the three-quarter pole. they raced
for 81 on equal terms. and Just before taking Of
for the Jump Ecarte either swerved or was
borne against the msre. almost knocking her
OF her feet The jump cleared. Ecarts went to
the front, finishing several lengths ahead Of
MARY i. Their numbers were promptly run
M. but before the Official result was declared
the judges very properly disqualified Ecarte and
gave the race 80 Mary T.. SpendaIl second
Ta;tler third When. however, the representa-
tives 81 TIE STAR and New York World called
the Alteration % the judges to the fact that the
disqualification Of one horse in q stable dis-
qualified all entries IN the race from the stable
the bulletin boards were once more run down
and but Mary T. and Spendall placed. Quite q
number OF people who had Mary 7. tickets tore
them M or threw them away when the num-
ber- were first bulletined. and the air was quite
blue when Ecarte was disqualified and they
realized what they had done. But such peo-
PIE had only Themselves to blame. for they
should know that the first two numbers hung
up on the bulletin boards merely indicate the
two horses tirst past the post the official decla-
ration Of the result Of the race being announced
only when the third horse il hing up. Lewis
was greatly incensed by the judges decision,
and announced that be would take his horses
from the course at once.
NAV Lose and Count were the only favorites
% win yesterday. vet Lakeview almost
literally supported the favorits in the second
race IizZstta deserved better support than
she received in the third race. although a good
jockey on Knight wOnid undoubtedly have won.
