PHILADELPHIA, Sept. THE special
race between the crack PAGERS John Il.
Gentry and Joe Patcheu at Belmont
Park this afternoon resulted in a lament
able failure, and but for the fact that the
Pennsylvania law against the selling of
pools was rigldly enforced a scene would
doubtless have been precipitated. Owing
TO the character of the attraction, nearly
5000 people were in attendance, over one
half of whom left before the race had
reached conclusion. In the first heat
| Gentry took the load, and though never
| headed, was closely attended all the way
round to the distance flag by Patchen,
where the latter broke, Gentry coming
home well within himself in 2:064, the
fastest mile ever made by harness per-
former on this track.
In the second heat Gentry again went
out in front, and was never headed.
although there was never anything in
evidence TO show that Patchen. under
Curry's skillful guidance, was doing any
thing to push out the stallion. In fact,
Gentry seemed to be pretty well used up,
| while Patchen showed no signs of being
| in trouble.
In the third heat there was as fragrant
an exhibition OF not trying to WIN on the
part OF Curry as was ever seen anywhere.
The pair went to the quarter in 0:2li, and
travelled as double team through the
! backStretch. In negotiating the hill,
| Patchen went to the front, but in round
ing the turn he was brought back by
Curry. But Notwithstanding all of the
latter's efforts. Patchen was full of 90.
de made up the lost daylight, and fifty
yards from home he looked like sure
winner. But to the surprise and disgust
OIL the spectators. Curry yanked him Off
his feet, and let in Gentry a winner
This was such palpable exhibition
OF pulling that the judges declared it mo
heat" which decision was received with
applause by the spectators
Before they were sent away for the
| fourth heat Curry was admonished by the
judges TO go out and win. They got away
10 a good start, in which Patchen held
Gentry safe all the way round, winning
out in 2:Il.
In the fifth heat both horses acted tired.
going 10 the quarter pole in 0:33I. Gentry
led into the stretch, where he was col
Jared by Patchen. The latter apparently
had the race won. but Curry again pulled
| Patchen off his feet. The Judges again
decided mo heat"
When the horses were called ont for the
| sixth heat, the judges selected Dickerson
to drive the stallion. The advantage of
! the change was made manifest, but Nc
| Henry pulled up for the apparent purpose
of being distanced, and Patchen walked
home III 2:13. The judges. however, called
out: Joe Patchen first, John Il. Gentry
| second"
There was no semblance of a horse
race In the seventh heat McHenry pull
ing up Gentry after passing the half, and
Patchen coming home by himself in 2:32.
