The Jersey stables Forest distinguished
himself yesterday at the Alexander Island
track ly coming within fourth OF q
secoud OF breaking the track record for
half-mile. There was strong wint
blowing out of the chute and the speedy
little horse reeled off half in ~ Ia
seconds in the most commanding style.
This performance would have been received
more favorably by the talent if it did not
show up the inconsistency or the horse
IN such bad light.
The last time he was out he was an
Indifferent fourth to Miss Elizabeth, Harry
Warren and Berwyn, going the half In 4S
seconds.
This glaring case of in and out running
WAS overlooked entirely. The incumpe-
tency of the judges, however, was shown
up in a most startling manner. they ruling
Allen Moore off for the alleged pulling of
Matte Chun in the second race. The
Forest case demanded most strict IN
yestigation, but was overlooked, while it
Is safe to say that not ten people on the
entire track think that Moore pulled Mat
tie Chun. The mare was knocked ali ovel
the course by Frank X. Harr while going
down the back stretch and was nearly
thrown over the fence on the turn for home.
OWNERS ARE NOT MoLEsTED.
1t is such incompetence--or may be
crookedness-as this that kills the sport.

The fourth race was the prettiest Of the
day, the entire field running nearly all
the way In a close bunch. Harris, the
favorite, had a slight advantag ge to the head
of the stretch, where he drew away and
appeared to be winning easily. Little

been ten yards further. He poked his nose
in front just after passing under the wire.
Windgale also closed rapidly at the end and
was a close third.
PACE WAS TOO HOT.
The handicappers figured Deceitfui in
the One-haif mile dash and would take
nothing else. At one time he was a 6 To

on Forest just at post time, and Deceltful
closed at twOs, with Underwood's horse
at 8 to 2. The favorite took command at
the start and led clear to the betting ring.

little AsburD. made most OF the running,

money in the back stretch, showing in
front for moment. but stopped badly in
the stretch and finished a noor third
