AroDna the Ring,

choose" Taylor's. finish on Captain
Rees was a very agreeable surprise to his
friends, who feared the injury to his leg
would prevent him from riding with his
old-time cleverness.
Chorn had two winning mounts yester-
day.
Jockey Chevalier was up in the saddle
again yesterday, having entirely recovered

every horse he rides, if such is possible.
Motto was again hea Willy backed in the
second race, but ran disappointingly.
Asked by a friend if he beat the first
race Pittsburg Pills answer was to go
down in his pocket and withdraw a bunch
of tickets on Royal Flush the thickness of
a pack of playing-cards. He met with
poor success throughout the day until the
last race, when he pulled out somewhat by
playing Kathleen.
Ed Purser bet some money on the shot
thing" Joan. The filly ran well at her
first attempt and will probably do better
By Holly held some Centurion tickets
on the last race.
Charley Quinn placed some bets on Ell
Tirano. The delay at the post killed his
chance of winning.
Abe Levy did not look as pleasant as
usual after the Rey Alfonso race. He had
a good bet down on the bay colt.

Harry Harris, the partner of George
Wheelock, took one bet of $1,000 on White
stone from Grammar.
One of the happiest men on the racetrack
yesterday was Ferris Hartman, the popular
comedian of the Tivoli. Barney Schneider
named his good Woodlands gelding after
the man of mirth, and on each of the geld
ing's two former attempts the latter had
been loyal to his namesake and had his
checks down. Not only that, but Ferris
whispered it around among the members
of the company of which he is Jester
supreme that they had better have bet
down on Barney'S youngster, and on his
first start the Tivoii company was well
represented at the track. The
youngster ran unplaced and at his
second start the comedians horse talk was
spent on ears that heard not. This time
he finished third. Yesterday Ferris was
alone in his glory, not even Phil Br anson
taking stock enough in Hartman's tip to
get there in time to see the race. Well,
yesterday he won and won easily, and the
Ferris shook Carr by the hand as Felix
passed in to the weighing-room, and re-
turning to the betting ring was rendered
an ovation by his friends. Stepping up on
the block alongside of Barney Schroeder,
the COMEDIAN with face radiant with
smiles, raised his hat in acknowledgment
of the courtesy. Turning to Phil McKim
he said, Didn't [ tell you I was no gaod
till the third act?''
