life. He had the mount on Baccarat, and
the horse must either have been stuffed"
before he went TO the post, or else he had
not been out of the stable sing e mis- lastraee.
In his previous races he simply gal
loped away from the class OF horses that
he met yesterday. Two weeks ago he
beat AIonolith in the easiest kind OF fash
ion; five-eighths of nile in 1.02 Ia
Yesterday with only four pounds difference
in the weights he was beaten off, finish
ing fifth to Monolith Affinity, Vesta and
Murray i'll 1:o3.
There was too liberal price laid against
the colt at all times As good as even
money could be had As far as Ham
is concerned, the horse was trying for all
he was worth. The boy rode him for
all there was in him from the drop Ofthe
flag, but the horse did not have one bit OF
his usual speed
HAM WAS DIsGUSTED.
Ham must have realized that he was on
lobster the moment the colt started TO run,
as more Disguised looking boy would
have been hard to find than he was when
he disnounted after the race
Little r. Bender rode the race Of his life
on Rosita she was hot favorite 10 the
fourth race, going TO the post at even
money Bender took her TO the front and
raced a length in front OF his field to The far
turn, where Tear Drop got TO him, aud
swinging into the stretch was good half
length TO the good
Duffy was confident that he had the
race won, aud took things easy, riding
with slight pull on his mounts head.
Little Bender did not give it up by any
means. aud drawing his whip, put up a
whipping finish that many an older boy
might have been proud Of
The filIy ran a game race under the
whip, and fighting every inch OF ground
got her nose in front when twenty yards
from the wire aud ma na ged TO keep it
there to the eud.
Duffy realized that he had been over
confident wien he saw Rosita hang on so
gamely, aud went TO the bat himself. He
did MORE harm than good, however, aud
would have probably had a better chance
if he had continued to ride with his hands
and heels. When lie drew the whip on
Tear Drop she faltered, and did not re-
gain her stride in time TO give ROsiJa an
argument.
FAVORITE LANDED THE MONEY.
The thirteen maideus that went to the
post IN the opening race Were very much
on the dog order Several OF them We're
heavily played Achilles probably re-
ceived as much support as any OF them at
first but the talent appeared to fancy
Parthian the more and he closed first
choice at 2 10 1. He rewarded his hackers
by winning in handy fashion from Clair W,
with Achilles third .
c. o. D., Avon and Chieftain all re-
ceived heavy support in the second event
The first finally went to the post the favor
ite at TO 2 He was never in the money
at any stage of the game.
Avon took command ON the first turn,
and staying there TO the end, was an easy
winner by half length from Chieftain-
The latter ran a wonderful race. He got
Off last, but ran by his field one by one and
was catching the winner at every jump
when they finished.
With Ham up, Baccarat was the favor
ite in the race for the youngsters, which
was at five furIongs out of the chute. He
finished a bad fifth. He and Murray took
turns at leading until they were within a
hundred yards from the finish, when Mono
hth came through with a rush and al the
end won easily by three lengths from Al
finity, with Vesta third
ROSITA RAN GAMELY.
Tear Drop was the first selected to
capture the fourth race, but did hot held
the position OF favorite long, as q heavy
play came in on Rosita, and, forcing her
price to even money, Tear Drop quickly
went 20 10 l. Padre also received con-
siderable support. Rosita ran the gamest
kind of q race. and shaking off Tear Drops
challenge in the stretch landed the money
in hard drive by a head.
Mirage was the choice in the next, closing
at to s. Dronston was second choice at
even money and got all the coin. He was
out in front all the way and won by a
length from Mirage, VINO was as much be-
fore Paris.
The closing event was simply an exercise
galIop for Key West. He is in the grandeSt
kind of shape Just at present and could win
on nearly any track in the country. Murphy
had thousand different kinds of wraps on
him all the way and won pulled up by
length and half from FinuwateT.
