Ten thousand persons cheered the oneck
stables gallant four-year-old Sir Walter ss he
passed the winning post At Morris Park yester-
day afternoon, defeating Clifford and Rubicon
for the O., 500 Special 1t one mile and quarter.
running the distance in 1907 and making his
own pace from nag fall 10 finish. II was prob
ably a. good . race as the stout honest
little four-year-old had ever run, and those
who swear by the 0neck Stable gave
vent TO their appreciation in no un-
certain fashion. The White Plains and
Pelham Bay Handicaps, for two and three year
olds respectively were won BY er-COngressman
Perry Belmont's Magisn and p. J. Dryers De-
clare. II was the closing day Of racing In New
York Stats and Il was the universal opinion Of
the racing men present yesterday that II was
the finale OF one of the most successful years
racing in the history Of the American turf. All
the leaders In the turf world were present, and
there were Impressions Of regret on every side
that the year Of 1894, a. far IS the racing in
New York State was concerned, was thing Of
the past.
twssssurprisswhenJ. w. Rogers announced
that his good threesyear.old Dorian had gone
wrong within the past few days and had been
turned out Of training. He was scratched in not
only the Special. but the Pelham Bay Handicap,
and this left but three starters for the
former-C1iford, Sir Walter, and Rubicon.
