The FaVoriteS Had a Great Time
of 1t, Sweeping the
Board.
HE'S A VERY SPEEDY ONE
lnstallator Again Demonstrated
Himself to Be Phenomenally
Fast Splinter.
Ten bookmakers weighed in yesterday.

MI. Marlborough backed Grady for the place.
Installator's last half mile was accomplished
In so seconds, pulling up.
Eddie Jones was first over the plate twice
yesterday, while Hinrichs, Shaw and Peters
each scored a win. "Stew" Peters put up one
of his old-time rides on Belle Boyd, and should
be seen in the saddle oftener.
Belle Boyd, winner of the two-year-old event,
although running in the colors of Theodore
Winters, was the property of Jack Atkins the
young turfman having purchased the FLY for
$1,000 short time previous to the race. The
victory was popular one, as Jack is one OF the
favorite horsemen at the track.
Alt Stanford, the well-known steeplechase
jockey, accompanied by his newly welded
bride, arrived from Chicago Monday, and was
welcomed at the track yesterday by his many
friends. ALI is welcome addition to the
ranks of the steeplechase riders, for his honesty
has never been questioned by the judges in
the stand, and whether on long-shot or favor
tie his mount always receives backing.
"shades of Pedestrian, Oregon, Eclipse and
Chicago! What will track folks in the East
say when they read of old Tim Murphy being
90 to l in q ive-horse race. RELOCATED to the
ranks of the "has beens' by race-goers, with as
good as 5 TO l against him for the place, he ran
like two-year. old, and coming from the rear
was beaten but a couple OF lengths in the fast
time of OH for the five and a half furlongs.
Guess perhaps to will be pretty good next
time out.
Fortune smiled on the talent yesterday.
Beginning with Red Bird who won the
opening race, the favorites swept the board
The prices against the winners were not
long but it SO happened that bettors con-
sldered them "cast-irons" and plugged
them, so that by the time Wheel of For
tune had galloped away with the last event
on the card, the tired bookies were
glad enough to pack up their traps and call
it day.
} The Elmwood's stock farm crack, In
stallator, again demonstrated his proves
as a sprinter by shouldering his 10Y pounds
as though itwere tooth-pick and running
away from his field in the fourth race of
the day, a six and half furlong dash,
winning pulled up in the fas thine of l :201%.
Boreas was expected to prove the thorn in
his side, but ran disappointingly, Howard
well handled bv Shaw beating him out for
the place. The prevailing odds against the
winner at post time was to 5.
Ed Sachs Red Iron gelding, Red Bird,
started the ball rolling by winning the
opening five-furlong dash rather handily
at the end from Red Dick, starting an TO
chance. The latter horse opened up a
wide gap as usual, but tired badly nearing
the wire. The field was beaten off, Josie
G getting third money.
Belle Boyd. daughter of Ell Rio Rey,
backed from s to 5 to evens, left the maiden
class in. the next rase for two-year-oIds,
skipping the four and a half furlongs in
:57. She had little to spare, however, for
Grady, an outsider, made all of the run
ming and was beaten but neck.
The gray horse Sir Richard added
another to his already long list of vic
tories by taking the third number on the
card, sprint of five and a half furlongs,
starting at the short price of l to 2. He
lay second into the stretch to Togo, when
he assumed the lead, and won by two
lengths in the fast time of OH. Old Tim
Murphy, against whom 20 to 1 was laid,
came from the rear with an electric burst
OF speed in the stretch, downing May Nc
earthly easily for second place.
Joe Harvey and his friends sliced
another melon in the last race, a mile
selling affair, with his handsome illy,
Wheel Of Fortune, carrying eighty-six
pounds. She opened at s to 5, but strong
play quickly caused her odds to be rubbed
10 6 to 8, and finally to even money.
Claudius received about the most support
of the other starters
Haryey's FLY was rather slow to get
under way, but had gone to the front by
the time the first quarter had been
travelled, and they never got near her
again. She won easily by two lengths in
1:41K from Claudius, with Road Runner a
EoOr third. MULHoLLANp,
