Fifth Race-FOrget.- Graziosa'
Tinge.
Father Bill Daily was the happiest man
at the Benning track yesterday. Tins
| glee was not brought ABOUT by any bni-
| Liant shuw wing maze by the bearers OF the
| ..red with green cap," for Rifler and Vene-
| TIA the Two representatives from this
stable finished in the also rams. 1t was
| due 10 the clever riding of O'COnnor on
| Premier in the third race.
Father Gill has always claimed this
| boy to be the best he has ever
| scnooled, and this means considera-
ble when We recall that Mr.. Mclaughlin,
Garrison, the Two Lambleys, Keefe, Moser,
Shcedy and several more OF tuta ablisned fame
learned their spurs while under DAILY
tutoTShip.
THE CLAIM WARRANTED.
This claim for O'Connor is certainly war
ranted for the little boy has OH several
occasions shown form away above what one
would expect from him, but yesterday he
eclipsed all records, his finish on The son
OF Sir Modred being an exhibition that
would compare favorably with the best
efforts of some Of our high salaried stars"
What made the Victory especially pleasing
10 both DAILY and the boy was the fact that
the latter had ended his apprentice ship"
and qualified as a regular Jockey earlier
III the afternoon, Secretary Hanlon issuing
the coveted license.
Tod Sloane had two mounts during the
afternoon and one or them, Tallahassee,
| was first to the finish. His second one,
| Trayline, was heavily played, but at no
| lime after the start was she even danger
| GUS
| The betting OH the five events was very
| heavy, and as favorites more than held
their own, the layers again quit with
hair a.

THE OPENING RACE.
Graziosa captured the opening race with
| Out being asked TO do her best at any
| part OF the journey. A hot tip on Juno
| enabled her hackers to get to 8 for
| their money, when half that figure would
have been about the proper figure. She
| is marvelously quick beginner, and in The
| opening strides she opened up gap OF
| daylight that made the start appear worse
thanit really was.
Rounding the far turn Littlefield took
| her in hand and the pull Was continued to
| the finish, where she was two lengths
i'll front of Lambent, WHO beat Juno a
| length for the place. The latter was
rather unfortunate at the start and this
| was responsible for her loss of the place.
Garrgan's efforts on Royal Princess We're
| hardly as vigorous AS they might have been.
! ssIlt up u IOt Ol STDuUu, IltI Ut uld
| turn her loose.
| Tallahassee had things all her own way
| IN the second race. Maud Adams, who
| was well played TO beat her was close up
| from the start, but 1t was O sufferance, as
Sloane always had the favorite in hand,
| While HIrsch was using every effort on Nc
LaughIin's filly. HurI was third, but
with little further to go One Chance
would have earned that position.

The third race was Premier's. With
Runaway scratched, il was left n three
cornered affair, yet the betting gave every
promise Of n good contest. The plungcrs
We're with Il few exceptions divided In
their opinions between Brisk, Septour
and there was little to choose in the way
| OF favcrite between them, while Premier
| opened and closed at to 1.
Tie latter went to the front as soon as the
| word was given, but Brisk followed, and
| for six rurlongs they had head and head
| ST ruggle for the lead. At this point
Doggett made his call On Septour and he
| moved up in way that Ca used his hackers
| to count their wasers won. Brisk was
| disposed Of easily, but Premier hung on,
making il lock as if il would be n driving
| finish, with the chances of course all in
| favor of the older rider.
Passing the ladies' club house Septour
was in front and his hackers started to walk
| off to pick another winner, but they had
| calculated just little too soon, for in the
last dozen strides Master O'Connor sat
| down and rode Il finish that was faultless.
| His colt responded to every call and despite
Doggett's most desperate efforts, the midget
earned the victory by head An ovation
awaited The victor when he returned IL
| the scales. and he well deserved it.
| THE LAST EVENTS.
| Miss Prim was backed down from to l
| to even money for the fourth race, and
| her showing proved her admirers had not
over-estimated her chances. for she Won
running off" Buddha beat Ross o. out
| for second money, Blali showed a lot
| of speed for half n mile.
Flushing disappointed his hackers in the
hurdle race. Mckee beating him easily
Walter. who finished last, was making
| his first bid for jumping honors. He went
| the first half Of the journey like a veteran
| then bolted, and although his rider in
duced him To continue the journey, it was
| without any hope OF victory.
