The morning times., 1895-10-30

The racing furnished at the Island track
yesterday was not of very high class.
On the contrary, it was very tame sport
that the talent had To put up with, the
betting not being very brisk and the
finishes, with one exception, not At all
close.
The bandic3ppers appear TO have lost
the knack of picking the winners that they
were gifted with last week, and they do
not land more than two u day. Yesterday
was no exception and when the last race
had been run and Dillon j., a TO =
chance, had struggled in a poor fourth, the
bookmakers TOOK down their states with
the conviction that life was worth living,
even in the racing business.
The only event that furnished n fin
ish that was worth seeing was the fifth,
in which Jo Jap, Irish Lass, and Jersey
had u hot tilt through the last quarter.
The Lass was the 1avoritc with Jo Jap
second choice. With the Jockeys re-
Versed il is probable that the public would
have cashed, but Patsey McDermott
outrode little Gleason and captured the
money with zap by 4 scant one-haif length.
HIS NAME A HOoDoo.
The books figured Philadelphia in the
first, and opened MIN at TO .. The public
could not see IL that way, however. and he
finally closed at threes.
Markstone seemed to be the one most
fancied and went from sevcns down TO
fives. The race was so much on the dog
order, however. tbat if was not much of Il
betting affair. To a fair start it was
Argyle III off in the lead, with Markstone
and Philadelphia close up. They held this
order until Strengthened out for home,
when Markst tone left his field and won gal
loping by five lengths. Saunterer closed
fast at the finish, and ran second to Phila-
delphia.
One to two was a good price against
Perfidy, and the play that went In on her
warranted the bookies rubbing to / to 3.
The others were only fancied for the place.
From the fail Of the flag Perfidy held
command. and won as she pleased by five
leDg tbs from Bob, who was two before La
Petite.
There was some big money bet on Fluellen
in the third, and his price was forced
from to l down to 4 10 o. The favor
ite showed in front at the start, but soon
gave way to Kcime. who held the lead to
the estretch. he dropped back a this iunct-
ure and Fluellen took the lead again and
won easily from Masher, who was two
lengths before Red Elm.
TOOK GOOD CARE OF FULLER.
Frank Fuller nd Marguerite II carried
nil the money in the fourth. Fuller was
the choice at first, but toward the close
hot play came in on Marguerite, fore
ing her price to even money. Balm took
good care that Fuller did not get n
chance to get within striking distance of
his field and finished outside of the money.
Marguerite ii looked a winner all over
to the head of the stretch, where George
Gaylor brought Busirus up, and with
little shaking up at the end landed the
race by n sCaut length.
Irish Lass and 10 Jap were the means
whereby the talent lIped ia make win
ming In the fifth, and they closed first
and second choices, at 4 10 and 13 to
s, respectively. McDermott was up on
Jo Jap, and getting n running start held
the advantage to the end. and won after
n hard drive by half n length from the
Lass. with Jersey third.
Dillon ]. looked 81 good in the closing
race that l tn 2 was eagerly taken up
by the big bettors. O'Hearn was also
fancied and was backed from his open
ing price OF fours down 10 3 10 1. The
favorte was off In the lead, but going
past the stand gave way to O'Hearn. who
kept the advantage to the end and won
galloping by three lengths from Cockade,
who was a half before Mohawk
