Quarterstaff was left at the post.
Judging by the antics of Bronco at the post
the fire-cracker and tin-can lessons of Professor
Gleason did not linger long in the mind of the
cranky son of Joe Hooker. He was the same
old Bronco.
The judges did not like the air about the
betting on the fourth race, and Shaw, the rider
of the favorite, Sir Richard, had the riot act
read to him. 1t acted very beneficially, for
Shaw put up grand ride.
Outside of the bowling-over of two or
three decidedly warm favorites nothing of a
particularly enlivening nature took place at
the track yesterday. The gray horse, Sir
Richard, KEEP t up his winning clip, running
fast short. six furIongs, and Miss Ruth
galloped mile in clever fashion. These

race at five and half furloDgs. Going to
the post 6 to he drew out of the bunch in
the stretch and won handily by three-parts
of length from the 8 to 10 favorite, Wild
Rose. Sheridan finished third, but was
disqualified for fouling Mendocino, who
was given third position.
Piggott had the mount on De Groat in
the second race, another sprinting affair
over the same distance as the preceding
event, and he was made an to favorite.
He showed up very promisingly at one
stage of the game, turning into the stretch
with a lead of three lengths, but quit badly

Dust, the former winning handily by three
lengths. The winner, who is one of the
Westchester stable horses, went to the post

disappointment, failing to get inside the
money. Ike L, with post odds of Is to 1
against him, led all the way, passing the

The short six-furlong sprint brought out
four very fair sprinters, Sir Richard hav-

The latter was quickest. to get in motion
