TALENT BEAT The BO0KIES
Three Favorites and Two Second
Choices Successful on the Island.
BEcKETT's HORSE DIsAPPOINTs
Pottowattomis Was Almost Played or the
Boards but Failed to Finish in the First
Flight-somage Ran Like Quarter Horse
and Won in Hand Gsllop.

It was rather good day for the talent at
five winners were favorites with second
choices capturing tho other events. The at
tendance and betting were both good and the
ring was at times crowded. More money
was bet than any time for over three weeks.
Johnny ran up to form and won tho third
race in a gallop. In the light welter-weight
affair both Kenyon and Gloster were heavily
backed and they finished as named, heads
apart The two-year-old race produced
fine finish between three of the few starters,
Monte Carlo winning by neck from Cicada,
with Suspense gelding Tapped on the latter.
Somage got a flying start in tho first and
made a runaway race Of it, winning in ahand
gallop by eight lengths. Pottowattomie was
the good thing and any price was eagerly ac-
cepted. The cooler ones put their money on
Quartermaster and cashed, as the latter won
handily by length from Needmore. Potto-
wattomie got away none too well, closed up
In the back stretch and then fell back. Sum-
maries:
How the Horses Ran.
