Jack Atkins after the popular young book
maker by that name.
The Cyrus-Faustine flly, owned by Ramsdeli
and Garland, has been named Cyrene.
Frank Taylor. the trainer of Major Cook, had
| "sweller" down on his cratic Bulwark geld
ing.
Duke Stevens warmed up lame in his pre-
| 1iminary gallop and the public fought shy of
| the old favorite.
The Brooklyn Club favored the charms of
Don Pedro in the two-year-old race, holding
him out to great extent in the betting.
1t was said that Mount Air warmed up sore. If
he was half sore as the people that booked
him he needs the services of a veterinary.
Dancing Girl reared and unseated her rider
| while at the post. 1t proved very lucky omen,
for she went out and won at the juicy odds of
10 to 1.
Wicklow II started off on his own hook while
| the horses were at the post in the opening
event. running nearly half the distance before
| Riley got him under control.
The honest and conscientious lad, Piggott,
had another good day of it yesterday. He was
| in front no less than three times on Dancing
| Girl Commission and the Julia Martin filly.
| "Big JIM Garland looked as smiling as
basket of strawberry peaches over Nelson's
| win, an d the two other members of the jumbo
| trio, Clutch" Fischer and happy Billy Dona-
than, undoubtedly offered congratulations
later on.
Much fault was found with Chevalier's ride
on Joe Cotton in the last race. 1t certainly
was not one of his star rides, as he displayed
very poor Judgment in allowing himself to be
cut off at the top of the stretch hill
Young Mcintyre, who rode Major Cook, en-
tered claim of foul, telling the judges he
thought Piggott and Hinrichs conspired to de-
feat him. According to Patrol Judge Morton,
Mcintyre himself was open to censure, as he
came very near being the means of landing two
| Or three horses and riders in the center field.
You're all right Mac; get in your say-so first.
Garrison always did it and it worked we'll.
1t was case of whistle and wait for
Katie with the bookies on the block yes
terday, it being to all appearances one of
the dullest days the ring has experienced
since the meeting opened. The card was
made up of a variety of events, but the
coin in the hands of the speculative frater-
nifty was not forthcoming, the cheap class
of horses starting being responsible for
this no doubt to degree. Proportionately
numbers than the male persuasion, the
balconies being well filled with gay bettors.
Three out of the five first choices won,
and as the last favorite, the Julia Martin
FLY, was extensively backed, the book
makers were slightly worsted on the days
argument.
According to dope" Hanford figured
"moral' for the opening race, a seven
furlong run, and going to the post to 5
favorite he went to the front the first fur
long and won hands down from Nero,
80 to chance. who finished strong, beat
| ing Talbot Clifton, the second choice out
over length for the place. The time
was Slow :29L.
Fireman was one of those stagnant favor
ties for the two-year- old event, a half-miIe
dash, that the talent are always trying to
beat before the race. He opened at to 5,
at which figure he remained until nearing
post time, when his odds heightened to
9 to 5, very little money going in on him
| then. A strong tip went out on Don Pedro
and he was a decidedly strong second
choice at 13 to 5. Some few Struggling bets
were recorded on Cyrene, Mollie Bawn and
Dancing Girl,
Ferguson dropped the flag with the
favorite absolutely last. Getting away
second, Dancing Girl took the lead, and
was never headed, passing the wire
length and a half in front of Fireman.
who made great run, in 1917 seconds.
Cyrene, who ran fine race, was closeup
third.
A purse race at five and half furlongs
brought out four starters-Mount Air
(who opened to 5 choice), Howard, Mel
son and Duke Stevens. From threes, Nell
son was backed down to 10 to 10, carving
all of the wise cash.
Howard and Nelson had everything to
themselves from the jump-off, the former
leading into the stretch by half length,
when big Jim's" one eyed sprinter picked
him up and won handily by head Mount
Air was third, three lengths behind How
ard.
The light-weighted McFarlane was ex-
pected to cut a big ripe watermelon in the
mile and seventy yard affair, but, after
leading into the stretch, the to favorite
Com mission passed him and won in big
hoedown in :461+ Carmel was a poor
third, and Sympathetics Last an out O.
sight fourth.
The last race, up and down the hills, five
and half furlongs. went to the s to 5 ia
vorite Julia Martin fly, who beat the
recklessly ridden Major Cook out half
length. Nellie G, well ridden by Hinrichs,
finished third. MULHoLLAND
