JOCKEY CHEVALIER's GOOD RIDE

The fine dry weather and careful atten
:. .:tion bestowed on the track by Superin-
,tendent Fieldwick are rapidly bringing 1t
back to its former fast condition, but with
this comes an increased difficulty Oh the
part OF the talent 10 pick winners.
Yesterday the bookmakers had more
than an excellent day, as only one favor
lie. Seville, an even money choice, got
home in front, the other winners being
: L6ttie d at ; to >, Lonnie Is at to !,
..Stromboli at s to / and Chartreuse at 20
to /.
Though at Iongish odds there were
plenty of hackers of the Australian horse,
';but with Glee Boy and Realization so
heavily played the boUkmakers could not
Have suffered very greatly over his win.
His victory was most popular one, and
Il seemed TO be the hope of every true
sportsman present that the Australian
contingent had made big winning

.1sGn. an Eastern LAD Of good ability. scored
his nrst WIN on Seville, and PlggOtt fol-
lowed up his Thursdays victory on FURRY
. by plotting Chortreuse first past the wire ln
; the last event. The best bit o. riding done
yesterday was on Chevaler's part in the
mile race. He had the mount on Esper-
auCe, WHO COL OIL poorly anu WAS pOCkOI6u.
he rode such vigorous race Cd him, how
ever at the finish that he was able 10 Sc
cure the place when it looked odds against
him,
The biggest play Of the day was made
on lin Murphy OIL the first event OF the
day, selling race of five furlongs, in
which there were only four starters. Tim
Murphy was backed at I to and Z 10 10
most persistently, the odds against LOttie
u lengthenlDg from ) TO to to by post
time. The faVOTlte was not in II at any
part Of the journey, Stipe's mare winning
with the utmost ease by two lengths
after making all her own running.
The knock the talent received in the
first was followed by almost an equally
g heavy one In the second race. also selling

The winner turned up in Barney Schrelb-
er,s Lonnle b, who figured at fiyes in the
quotations. and on whom his owner for the
second time in succession had not invested
single dollar. Castro would have showed
better If his jockey had not made so much
use of him in the several false breaks
The third race Of the afternoon was the
handicap, also run over the futurttv
course. Glee Boy opened up as fsvorite
at 9 to 8, with Realization and Peril at
threes. BoOkmaker EcEert was the chief
hacker of HOy's colt, whose price was
soon cut TO s TO ., though he finally went to
the post at II 10 ., Peril aud Glee Boy
being then quoted at threes, with StrCm-
boli- who had seen twenties, at Fights.
Realization ran prominently for half the
journey, opening up a big gap from the
start, but he died away TO nothing in a
sudden and unaccOuntable manner and
was collared and passed by every horse in
tile race. StrOm BOLTS Win was an impress
i've one and proves him to be a race horse
OF extra high merit. After a let up of
eighteen months, owing to his having
broken down so badly that his racing
days were supposed to be over, he comes
out as a patched-up cripple and wins
easily IN the best of company. Glee Boy
ran good and consistent race, but was
handicapped out of the race.
The Kentucky stable secured their first
win IN the fourth race of mile, which
fell to a heavily supported favorite in
Seville, a rare cleanup for the bOOkmakers
: in the victory of w. OBJ. MacdonOugh's
maiden FLY. Chartreuse, about whom as
good as % to ] could have been bad.
The last event of the day. a fiVe-furlong
race. in which there had been originally
