JOHNNY BEiT CHATEAU
Himyar's Son Showed Speed and
Gameness at Old Dominion.
FOUR FAyORlTES WENT DOWN
On a Deep and Holding Track. the Bangtails
Ran Just Opposite to the Way the Talent
Believed-Duffy Hurt, and Ham and Nor
ris Also Had Fall, But Were Not In
jured - To-day's Entries = Ring Gossip.

The colors Of Chateau were lowered to
that game little gelding Johnny yesterday, in
the second contest at the Old Dominion
improved greatly, and that Chateau hardly
can have gone back.
The former finished head in front of the
.Dwyer cast-off In a hard drive on very
heavy track. The time hung out, 1:07, was
very FAST considering the condition OF the
going.
Duffy was thrown from Soprano III in the
last race, and his col!ar-bone was broken, but
he was not otherwise hurt. Ham also went
down with Reynard in the same event. but
both were uninjured All the races were run
out OF the chute again.
Soprano IL was left at the post, and Duffy
started the mare after the field. After run
ming a quarter she suddenly stumbled and
fell. One of her legs snapped of just above
the fetlock. and the animal was destroyed
without delay. She was brown mare, four
years old. by Falsetto- Lady Athol.
Duffy received a broken collar bone and
several bruises. he will not be able 20 ride
for about a month.
The bookies again had the best of the argu-
ment, as four favorites went by the board
