Tho opening of tho Queens County Jockey
Clubs autumn meeting ut Aqucduct yesterday
brought out upward OF 5000 persons, and the
capacity of tho grounds was taxed to the ut
most. 1t was q day of triumph for Father Bill
DAILY and his midget Jockey. O'Connor, whose
two weeks suspension for foul riding expired
on Saturday. the clover lightweight winning
with Arabian and Ortoland from the stable of
the Hartford turfman with long prices quoted
against them. The public had a rather hard
day OF it, as tho favorites were worsted in a
majority Of the events and the layers of odds
must have waxed fat over the downfall of the
good things.
Hindoonot, ~favoritc for the opening dash at five
furlongs, won for the Prince OF Chalmers, Tommy
Griffin, but 1t was only after "A sharp struggle
with the go to l chance. Long Acre, and had tho
riders been reversed Thorpe could have won
with the son of st. George. David Gideon's
Wasteful, at one time considered up to stake
class, was third. Boy Orator was OFF badly. and
closed n big gap, finishing fourth.
Knight of the Garter and Partridge carried
tho bulk of tho money in tho dash at one mile.
but that mu~ch-improved hlly, Fireside, out
gained and outspcedod knight OF tho Garter
through the stretch and won a good race by o

easily secured third money. knight of the
Garter had a world Of speed for seven furlongs
or thereabouts, and he should be hard to beat
the next time out. 1t was the colts first race
since Saratoga, and he acted as though he
needed yesterdays race TO put him on edge.
Yankee Doodle was the best horse in the dash
at Eve and u half iurlonRs, for which he was an
equal fayorite with Kaiser Ludwig, but be got
away poorly at the start and could not quite
catch Arabian in tho stretch. The long shot,
Tanis. was third. IL was Arabisn's first appear
