RACE TRACK. NORRIS PARK, June
19.-The succession OF showers this after
noon turned the track here into a big
mud puddle and sent the talent hustling
through the dope" as form records are
termed. for horses with fondness for
heavy going.
The track was not. strictly speaking,
heavy. 1t was slushy. and the horses
were enabled to race through It in fairly
good time. The change in the going
however came very near upsetting some

attacks OF heart disease all the after
noon.
The programme was "A good one and
the racing was good. The attendance
was not very heavy. owing in all prob
ability to the rain. The match between

The opening event found Rubicon a
hot favorite. He opened at to 6. and
was pounded down to Ii to 10. His sup
porters had n narrow escape for their
money, for Lustre. ridden vigorously by
Bergen. came with a terrific burst Of
speed in the last sixteenth and was only
beaten a nose.
VIII Fonso was poor third. Lixetta,
who was well backed. was never in the
hunt.
The second race was n poor affair. 1t
was deemed cake-walk for Don
Alonzo. and he justified the confidence
of his hackers by galloping home an
easy winner. He was held at prohibi-
tive price. Ornus. second choice, beat
Setauket for the place.
Garrison rode the race of his life on
Connoisseur in the Great Eclipse Stakes.
A furlong from home the colt looked
to be beaten. He was n length behind
Sir Galnhad and Utica. who had been
racing head and head. and was stagger-
Ing about like drunken man.
Garrison kept strong hold of the
he gained on the leaders. Finally the
colt bumped into Utica and then Garri-
son, having some support for his tired
mount, sat down for a final effort.
He fairly seemed to pick the colt up
and hurl him at the finish mark. just
landing him a head in front of Sir Gala

cruel energy. Utica was third

very tired at the finish.
1t was n cruel gruelling. and the
hardest fought finish that has been
seen in many days. Walter, the favor

BOLO HUNTER IN THE PARK.
With Gun and Spurs He Goes in
Search of Adventure.
The Boy Had Been to a Show and
Saw Indians and Cowboys.

While Park Policeman Connell was
walking along the pathway on the west
side Of Central Park, neal one Hundred
and Third street, at $40 o'clock this
morning he saw Charles Hammel. four
teen years old. OF 81 Columbus avenue
looking up into the tallest trees OF that
locality. When Hammel saw the police
man he lodged behind some shrubbery
as II to avoid him.
The policeman called to the lad to
stop and arrested him. The boy car
rfed on his right shoulder an air-gun
and tightly strapped TO his legs were
a pair OF linemen's spurs. In his pock-
cts were several boxes full OF buckshot.
He explained to the policeman that III
got the spurs from his brothers cleo
trical store. The rife. he said, was his
own, and he was simply looking for
birds. He said the rifle would not carry
the shot into the trees with sufficient
force to kill the birds; so he provided
himself with spurs in order to climb
the trees.
Policeman Connell learned that young
Hammel had been to see a Wild West
show yesterday. and, stimulated by the
feats Of the Wild West performers. he
desired to improve his own skill as a
marksman upon the songsters of the
forest. He therefore got up at o'clock
this morning and started for the Park.
He said he thought he could get two
hours practice before he had to go to
work.
Justice Simms at the Harlem Court
committed the lad to the custody OF the
Gerry Society. to give Agent Mulligan
an opportunity to find out where he got
the spurs as well as something more of
