"I don't guess Jerry Chorn can put it on
that white boy" a small-sized colored
stable-boy remarked at the conclusion OF
the third race yesterday, when Morven,
with Griffin up, beat Red Pat out the short
est of noses, ridden by the clever Jerry. In
this statement many others fully concurred
with the young colored philosopher after
witnessing the finish. Morven went to the
post an even money favorite, and after
leading the entire distance to the stretch,
was challenged by Red Pat, and they ran
noses apart to the wire. Morven looked a
beaten horse, but by superb riding Griffin
lifted him in a winner.
1t was a good day for faVorites, four out
of five finishing in front. North, the win
ner of the second race, was the only sur
prise, winning in a drive, with 10 to l
against him.
The opening race was taken rather easily
by the favorite, Robin Hood II, after the
$50 to 1 shot st. Jacob had made matters
interesting for him to the stretch hill.
Sailing off the challenge of Ingomar he
won handily at the finish by two lengths.
The favorite for the second race, Carmel,
was completely lost in the shuttle with
Griffin up. Getting away rather poorly he
sulked and was never in it. After Sir
Reginald, who had been backed down from
80 to to II to 1, got away in front and led
to the stretch hill, North came on and won
by head in drive from Melanita. Chi
quito, off very badly, made fine run,
finishing third.
The third race was taken by Jack
Richelieu, a slight favorite over Contribu-
ton, who finished third. The race ended
in a duel between Banjo and Barney
Schreiber's horse, and for once Carr out
finished Hinrichs and won by half length.
Banjo was u to 1 at post time.
May Mccarthy was heavily played to
win the last race, being backed from to 2
to II to at post time, but the Eastern
delegation got tripped up. After Quarter
ton to the second hill, Chorn gave him his
head, and drawing away won pulling up.
May Mccarthy finished fourth.
