the field what they lost on winners. 1t
was "cut i'll day. with the bOOkies, and
1t was noticed that there were still nine
blocks, although some of them claim to
be way behind on the first week.
Dir. Rice's showing in the first race
was a disappointment to the crowd,
and undoubtedly to his owner, Fred
Foster, who backed him $1,000 to win.
AS is stated else where, there Is good
ground for believing that the general
presumption that the horse was not fit
to run is erroneous. 1t was case of
bad riding.
Sullivan was undoubtedly pulled in
the same race, SO the judges did right
in promptly suspending the jockey.
a jockey whose work was in shining
contrast was that of Ham. who rode
Fagin, Maquon and Wekota to win, and
Ataman second.
First race, all ages. six furl0ngs, purse
$400-Scratched. SaXaphone, Venusberg,
Bayard, Rico, Can't Tell, Rahula. Eos.
The winner of the Brooklyn handicap
beaten by a winter-plate seller. Itdidn't
look right.
The race was dump that will re-
mind some people of the Fourth of July,
1894. The fact that such famous horse
should only run fourth created surprise
with some. Most people believed, how
ever, that it was because he was not fit.
1t was said that he came west all
bunged up after the Brooklyn handicap
and the journey as well. Lack
of work had not helped him.
Others figured it out that six
furlongs was such a short distance
that DR.. Rice hardly got warmed up TO
his work. There was something in this
last theory, but Fred Foster emphatical-
ly secuted the idea that the horse was
not In condition to win. He showed
pool checks at the reporters stand In
evidence that he had backed his horse
$4,000. Another thing, he has entered
the horse 20 run in the Columbus sweep
stakes at Washington park the 18th,
and if he is to be fit then he should be
now.
Mr.. Fosters actions after the race
certainly bear out his assertions. He
discharged Hasten, the jockey, cancel
ing his contract for tine season, and
SAYS he shall never ride another horse
for him.
Another horse that suffered from
queer riding i'll the race was Sullivan
He was last all the way around, and j..
J.Morton, the patrol Judge, who watched
him on the back stretch and on the
turn declared that H. Shields, his jockey,
nearly pulled Sullivan'S head off. This
was reported to the judges and they sus-
pended Shields for ten days for riding
contrary TO orders, which were to drive
TO win. Shields excuse is that Sulli-
van IS partially blind and kept veer-
ing i'll towards the fence all
the way. The race was run
shortly after o'clock, and the horses
got away after ten minutes at the post.
Geo. f. Smith took the lead, followed by
Hi Henry and Fagip. At the quarter
Smith was still III the lead by length
and half, and Hi Henry, who ran sec
ond, opeued gap of half length be-
tween himself and DR.. Rice. At the
three quarters Fagin came up hard and
passed the three leaders easily OH the
turn. He came into stretch fast and al.
most galloped i'll two lengths ahead.
Geo. f. Smith followed. Fagin led
from the stretch i'll, Osric ran a lame
third. DIR. Il ce came fourth, HI Henry
fifth and Sullivan last. Time, l:l6.
