well-varied programme drew out
regular holiday crowd to the races yester-
day, disproving the impression that the
thoroughbred is losing his hold on the
tickle public. Larger fields have been seen
at the post, but better racing has not been
witnessed in many moons. 1t was a rosy
day for favorites, four first and two second
choices heading the field past the winning
post, casting gloom in the bookmakers'
camp, who quit away behind on the days
sport. The one disastrous dump of the
day Tor spectators was the defeat of
Claudius, who was looked upon as least
iron" in the mile and a half handicap,
with but three starters.
The n'of imp. Brutus, carrying top
weight, 115 pounds, opened equal favorite
in the first betting with the Westchester
stables entry, Fred Gardner, with so
pounds in the saddle, it being even money
and take your pick. Adelante was the
outsider at 20 TO 1. The money poured
into the books in such large quantities on
Claudius that when the horses were called
out l to , was visible against him on but a
few of the boards, while to was plentl-
full against Gardner. The outsider, Ade-
lante, VINO ran a surprisingly good race,
cut out the running, traIled by Fred Gard
ner, Sloane, on C!audius, taking matters
Ieisurely couple of lengths further away.
Adelante turned into the stretch the sec
ond time with lead OF length. Sloan
now made move with Claudius and was
but half length behind Fred Gardner
Chsvalier on the latter horse let out
link, assuming the lead and Sloane on the
favorite attempted TO get through next the
rail below the furlong pole, but Adelante
firing badly, swerved III and cut him off,
This cost him his chance for the race, for
before he could get his horse moving again
Gardner had gained too much of an adj
vantage, and beat the cinchy first choice
out three lengths handily in 2 :36 fat. Adj
elante was eight lengths away.
The to 10 offered against Gondola win
ming the opening race, cheap five-furlong
dash, seemed a most liberal price, taking
his race of Thursday into consideration,
and such proved the case, for he won
easily from Sleeping Child, with Josie G
in the show.
With but four starters in the next race
at five and q half furlongs, Mr.. Mac
donough's English bred FLY. Miss Brum-
mel, it was thought would dispose of Tim
Murphy without trouble, and she was a
warm II to 20 favorite, with II to chalked
ct hoI hui -
vas not the cake walk predicted. The
FLY cut out the pace, Mcknight reserving
Murphy for the rub in the stretch. The
two had it nip and tuck for an eighth of
mile, the two-year-old winning at the
wire by short half length, in the fast
time of :0654.
The Hyder Ali mare Miss Flether seems
to be quite at herself just at present, for
she took the third race, mile selling
dash, in gallop from Monita, starting an
even-money chance. Normandie was
third. Time, 1:42.
The bookmakers were badly shaken up
over the result OF the two-year-old handi-
cap at five and a half furlongs, with seven
starters. Carrying top weight, imp
Santa Bella was made an even-money
favorite, at which price she was heavily
backed by the wise contingent. Reding-
ton, Benham, Marjorie and Joe K looked
outclassed, but received some support.
The favorite was away second to a stray
Cling start, but ct once went out 10 front
and, simply playing with her field, won
as she pleased by four lengths. Joe K,
coming from back in the ruck, passed
Redington, who was firing badly the last
fifty yards, and beat him out half a length
for the place. The winner covered the
distance in :074.
The eight jumpers that sported colors in
the hurdle race, two miles over eight
fences, furnished very pretty sight, all
p0fplV ichi
mishap.
Mestor carried the bulk of the coin,
going to the post to 5, but Swift lay
altogether too far out of the race with him,
which, addsd to a stumble over the last
hurdle, deprived him of any part of the
money. Auteuil, one of the second
choices in the betting, ridden with rare
Judgment by Nike Hennessy, won at the
finish easily from o c, with Arctic in
third place. The winners time was :45L,
three and half seconds lower than the
coast record.
