HAWTHORNE Defeats ROBIN HOOD.

For MONDAY, the attendance at bile LIdCh
yesterday was above the average, drawn,
no doubt, by the excellent card offered.
The crowd fiattered themselves on the in
roads they were making in the bookies'
bank rolls up to the third race, then there
was sudden change in the temperature,
the thermometer registering zero at the
conclusion of the race.
The Arizona stable entry, Contribution,
made his debut at the meeting in the sec
ond race and won in commanding style with
~ TO against him. The same stables
entry for the third race, The Judge, was
red hot favorite, but finished third to Car
mel and Abb P Carmel was S to 1 at post
time Then their entry Robin Hood the
to 5 favorite for the fourth race, went
down before the powers of Pat Dunne's
racer Hawthorne, at i to 5 in the betting.
The last race of the day was another big
upset. st. Albans, at one time as good as
10 to l. downing the pronounced favorite,
Seaside.
The opening race OF the day, five-fur-
long sprint for maidens, saw the Wildidle
FLY Bravura go to the post fayorite at , to
! and finish next to last. Advance was
second choice at to ,, Relampago next in
demand at fives The other starters were
all at long prices.
Advance, away first, led the entire way,
winning easily by three lengths. Finesse,
a 20 to / shot, came strong up the hill, and
got the place Just as handily from Relam-
page.
Eastern horses a. rule have run rather
disappointingly on their first appearance,
but Contribution, the Arizona stables
entry, proved an exception, winning the
second race at five and a half furlongs very
cleverly. Opening at ~ to l, as good as
II TO 5 could be had against him at post
time. The form players were divided in
their choice between Banjo and Garcia,
both to ] in the betting. The former
was sadly ont of tune, running like a car
horse. Against imp. Empire, Clacquer and
the other starters the bookmakers laid long
prices.
To fair start Clacquer showed in front,
but was soon passed by Contribution, for
whom the race proved a mere exercise
gallop, leading all the way and winning by
four lengths. Clacquer, who held second
position up to the last quarter, tired on the
stretch bill and was beaten out of the place
a length by Garcia.
The Judge, another candidate for first
money from the Arizona stable, made the
air very chilly in the betting ring by finish
ing third in the next race at the same dis
lance as the preceding one. Opening at
% to l. but only for q moment, grand
rush ensuing to get some of the good thing,
he went to the post to D.
Pacheco's unIucIy mare, Abb P, was Sec
ond choice, 9 to being her price at post
time, with Glover up. Carmel at 10 to 1
looked tempting, especially on his last
race, where he showed plenty of speed, but
he has the reputation Of being a sulker,
which figures against him. From 10 to 100
to l could be had against the other starters,
the latter price being chalked against
Flagstaff, who ran a surprisingly good
race.
Tara, Goodbye and The Judge was the
order away from the post as the flag fell
but before an eighth of a mile had been
tTaversed Carmel shot to the front and was
leading the favOrite half a length at the
first quarter. Going down the second hill
Flagstaff got great move on, passing The
Judge, and was but half length behind
Carmel as they started up the stretch hill.
As the horses ppeared acoming up the hill
Abb had moved up from fourth position
and was running second. She was, how
ever, unable to catch Carmel, who won
with something to spare by length and
half. The Judge was third, a length fur
Their away.
But the frosty spell after that race was
summer zephyr compared to the arctic
wave that enveloped the ring at the con-
clusion OF the fourth race. 1t was a seven
furlong run, and once more the Arizona
stable was the cause of all the trouble |
Their entry, Robin Hood II, opened at
even money, and a ton and half of money
went in on him. Pat Dunne's Hawthorne
Is somewhat of a racer himself, but has
been under cover for some time, and it was
supposed needed race to put him right !
He gradually drifted back in the betting
from TO to u to s. Zaragoza, ROYAL !
Flush and Niagara were the other starters. |
Robin Hood put his hackers in pleasant
mood by getting away first and galloping
in front to the top OF the hill Going down
into the gulch Hawthorne let go of the
rope, and at the three-quarters had the
favorlte coIlared. 1t was all over with the
favorlte as they came up the hill, for he
was tired, and Pat Dunne's horse won
pretty plenty" by a length. Eight lengths
away Niagara came in third.
According to race 326 of the ''dope'
book 81. Adams ran such a poor race that
yesterday some of the bookmakers were in
cautious enough to lay Toto against the old
cripple IN the last race at six furlongs. In
that race Seaside had beaten him handily,
and in yesterdays race against a cheap lot
she was an to favorite, heavily played.
Barcaldine, Martinez, Ny Charm and
Experiment gelding also started
ST. Adams, away first, led at the first
quarter by head, Barcaldine length and
a half in front OF Martinez. At the three
quarters Barcaldine was still his close
companion, but when he struck the stretch
hill bid him adieu, and won at the end bv
six lengths. The favorite secured the
place from Barcaldine by a length in
drive.
