RACE TRACK, JEROME PARK,
Sept 27.-It Is doubtful II there were 1000
persons at this track to-day, and Of
these the majority were armed with
maclSntoshes or stormcoats in anticf-
patton OF the storm which the weather
prophets have promised New Workers.
The poor racing of the last few days
at this course, coupled with the fact
that this Is the opening day OF the
Queens County Jockey Club meeting,
kept the attendance down.
Many of the regulars attended the
races at the latter track. The fields were
light here again. but the track was in
fine condition.
Pittsburg Pills filly. Applause, was
! plunged on heavily in the opening race,
a handicap for two-year-olds, in which
four others were entered. Phil headed
the plunge and bet $500 at a clip wher-
ever the money would be taken.
The filly simply played with her field
and won in comp by three lengths
Havoc. who was badly messed about
early in the race by Penn, managed to
get through. and got the place by the
same distance.
Starter Rowe gave another exhibition
OF bad starting in the second race. There
were only three starters, but he sent
them away lengths apart; After Belde-
mere and Poetry had made the running
to the stretch, Discount came on ana
won easily by length and half from
Beldemere Griffin rode a poor race on
The lakewood Stakes resulted In a
pretty race Clifford and Banquet were
the only entries. OF which the former
was hot favorite. Old Banquet was
not friendless, however, and among
those who bet on him was Byron Me-
Clelland, who wagered $500 at II TO 5.
The pair got away to perfect start
Immediately took Banquet out in front
length and a half to the good. Grif-
fin did not move on clifford until the
turn into the stretch was made. Then
A furlong from home he got Clifford,
nose In front, but Banquet hung o.
heads apart. clifford finally won clever
ly by neck. The time was very good
for this track.
