IMPERATOR'S EASY RACE.
MR. GALWAY,S BROWN COLT WINS
THE RAMAPO HAElsICAP.

October Hurdle innpdicaL -Br. Cattle ts Form
Perfect weather and tho promise Of exciting
sport brought another large crowd to Morris
Park yesterday afternoon, whcu Blk good raoes
were run of. Tho stakes wore the Ramapo
Handicap for threcyear.olds over the Withers
mile course. which was won by james Galway's
brown colt Imperntor. by %lroquois, out Of Glen.
view; tho Autumn selling rnco for two.yenr-
olds, which went to LOWS Elmoro's bay colt
Blueawny, by Getaway, dam Blue Maid. and
the October Hurdle Handicap at one mile and a
half, which went TO that smart four.yenr.old
marc Forget, by Exile, dam Forever. owned by
tho Messrs. Hitchcock.
The defoat OF Tillo for the Rana7o Handicap
was the sensation of the dpy. The crack Western
colt had 1876 pounds up, but he had performed so
well in the jerome Handicap with two pounds
less on his back that the talent could rot SEQ
how he could be beaten. His conaucror In the
Jerome, Rensselaer,, was second choice at q to l,
but he was carrying eight pounds more than On
that occasion, and tho public at large did not
look for him TO win. Estaca at z to /, Impera-
tor at 8 to /, and Blue Devil at 10 to l. were
! the most fancied OF tho others. Tillo's closing
price was 4 to 8. When the start was maoo
Royal Rose shot out of tho bunch and made the
running for nearly three fur.ongs. In the run
up the backstretch Hewitt got in a pocket
with Rensselaer, and had to take tho big
chestnut colt back in order TO get clear
of his field. He appeared to ovcrdo 1t,
for in q moment Rensselaer, was out OF tho race,
and was a bad last. Just as the field swung for tho
upper turn Impcrator shot up to Royal Rose
like n quarter horse, and, going on. opened n
gap of half n dozen lengths. Bannock. Tillo,
and Royal Rose gave chase, but tho remarkable
sprint of the brown colt appeared To put thcm
on tiptoe, and at the last furlong pole lmperator
was only gallopinE. He is n notorious counter
felt, however. and Maher let him believe that no
was running away. 1t was n gallop for Lmpera-
tor to win by three lengths in the fast tin'o OF
1:4l. Bannock and Tillo fought it out for iec-
ond money, tho former getting tho verdict by n
head.
Forget was favorlte at . to l on for the octo-
Der Hurdle Handicap, but there was a strong
play on Detective. whose price came tumbling
from 10 to 3 TO l. Detective is q fast horse for
five furlongs or SO, but he could not shake on
the favor!tc, and the daughter Of Exile paescd
to the front on the hill. Brown Red took second
place in the run home, but never seriously men
aced the winner. Valorous beat Detective homo
for third money. Forget ran in a new-fangled
bit and a standing martingale. which kept her
straight at her jumps. and she showed to great
advantage.
