MANY GOOD ONES GOING
Prominent Stables Cast Their
Fortunes in with EIkton.
THEY DON'T MIND THREATS
Four Favorites Repaid the Talent
Yesterday Three Finishes Were
and WOn-Nenry Lifted Bright W oOd
Into the Money-Siva W II HandiIy.

The threat made by the Virginia tracks to
rule off any OF the horsemen who went
to the eElktonnleeting torace did not havethe
| effect desired, as some of the most prom
| inent stables viii be shipped there to-day
and tomorrow. While the measure taken
by the two tracks wasa some what arbitrary
one they were nevertheless nearer right
than would at first appear
They have stuck by the horsemen who
have been at the tracks all summer, and al
! though they were forced to reduce the
purses they Were kept on running even when
they did so at III absolute loss. They knew
that if the tracks shut down it would meal
starvation for both men and horses and kept
on in the hope that things would improve.
The horsenien who are going away will
will have a chance to race for larger
purses than have been offered at the
across-the-river tracks, but it looks very
much like a case of "off with the old love
and on with the new.'' Among those who
will leave are W. Hollar with Mirage,
Roller, ,HalcyoB, Irene and Belwood. Pop"
Grey with Con Lucy, Samaritan, German,
Bronston, Ninety-Seven and Hummng Bird

The sport on the whole yesterday was
good, three of the events furnishing exeit-
ing finishes. The talent had a good cay,
| favorites winning four out. OF the six
| races. The betting was brisk but not
quite as good as at st. Asaph on theprevlous
day.
Halcyon was cut loose in the opening
event and Won at the juicy odds of to l..
She has been running over the top of her
horses in the past couple of races. Queen
Dor was second. with Frank F uIler ;hird.
NEARY'S GOOD WORK.
The second event was good betting race
with Marguerite IL slight favoriie over
DR.. Johnson. The good Judgment of the
bandfcappers was shown by their finishing
in this order with Bella G.. third.
The best finish of the day was in the third
race between Brishtwood and Bolivar.
Brightwood got away badly but Neary kept
hard at work on him and when they swung
into the stretch was head and head with
Bolivar. These two had a hard drive
clear to the wire where Neary lifted his
mount in winner by nose.
Joe Mack was, of course, the favorite in
the next race, going to the post an even
money chance. He would have won but
got pocketed at the head of the stretch and
did not finish in the money. Forest man
aged 10 do the trick after a fierce finish
with Irish Lass, a 10 to / shot.
After Founding had refused the issue silva
had the fifth race at his mercy and was n
prohibitiee favorite at to 6. Juliet made
the running to the turn intothe stretch, where
silva went to the front and won bandily
by length and half.
The closing race went to tie 1avori;e.
Brooklyn. who was quoted at 8 to ., when
the betting closed.
