ROADWARMBR IS A HUMMER
Won the EiVe-Furlong Race Without
Effort in 1.01 IL.
One Favorite in Five Beaten by
an Outsider-Five Races
To-Day.

! yesterday at Agricultural Park and wit
messed some very good sport. In two
races five furlongs were covered in Luz
and 1:011a, respectively, in the former
instance by two-year- r-olds. Some of the
finishes were close and exciting. The
betting was spirited throughout, and the
four books We're kept pretty busy hand-
| ling the money offered.
The judges stand was occupied by }.
w Wilson and Wilber F. Smith, expe~
rienced and honest men, who see that
everything is conducted squarely.
! The first race was for two-year-olds,
five furlongs, and the starters We're
Towanda 115. Z to 10: Hermoso 1lS. 5
to l, st. Cataline 115, to /, Pongo 9o,
20 to l.
There was no delay at the post. The
youngsters were ridden up in even or
der and before the jockeys had time to
begin their "fooling" the flag fell and
off they went. Hermoso's jockey was
| first to catch on and he shot away IN
the lead, followed by ST. Cataline. Her
| moso held the front position till the
seven-eighth was reached, when he
quit like steer and Towanda went
by him as if shot from cannon. st.
Catalines rider appeared to be taking
a nap, for he allowed Towanda to beat
him out by a nose in 1:02. Several
lengths separated them from the other
two and Hermoso and Pongo had a
struggle for third, which the latter Sc
cured.
For the seven -eighths of a mile, SELL
ing, for maidens, the starters were Co
gent 102, ) to 1 Pansy 105, 3 to 1, Mo-
destia 81, to L; Diabolita zoo, even
money, and Cheridah 100, D to l.
Cheridah, 5 to /. helped out the short
enders by winning the race, with three
lengths to spare, in 1:2O. Diabolita,
the favorite, was second, and Pan
sy third Pansy was the first
away, with Diabolita second Around
the far turn and into the last
quarter these two led the others. In
the last hundred yards, however, Cheri-
dah let herself out and ran away from
them.
The third race was five furlongs, sell
ing, and brought out Senator Mahoney
y to /; McFarlane, 4 to /; Roadwarm-
er, l to q Jock, 20 to l, Kitty Brady, q
to /, and Billy Ayres, 10 to l.
1t was Roadwarmer's race from start
| to finish He had two or three lengths
the best of the others in the send off,
led all the way and won in the fast
time of 1:01a. McFarlane and Sena-
tor Mahoney ran second and third
throughout. Roadwarmer finished a
| length from McFarlane, the latter a
half length ahead of the Senator.
|
Next came an eleven-sixteenths of a
handicap, for which Midas, 2 to 5; Per-
haps 3 to 1 Vents, s to / Don Cara,
to 1, and Leon, 5, to 1, went to the
post.
The favorite, Midas, was away first
and was never headed, winning by a
length from Don Cara in 1:01$4, the
latter a half length ahead of Venis.
The last event of the day was for
non winners, six and one-half furlongs.
The field was composed of Two Cheers
3 to /. Last Chance to /, Quicksilver
to 5, Starting 10 to 1, OFleeta to 5.
Quicksilver ran off like a scared wolf,
with O'Fleeta trailing two lengths be-
! hind, the others all in a bunch. But
the killing pace set by Quicksilver was
more than he could maintain, and in
| the last stretch OFleeta came up and
beat him out by nearly a length in
LIZA, Starting third.
