course to-day. Eleven horses went to the
| post. Howard Mann, coupled with his
stable com panion, BeImar, sold slight
favorite over Handspring, the top weight
horse, and admittedly the class of the
race,
F.. L. Parker's six.year.old Lake Shore
was second ana w. c. Daly's four-year-
| old gelding third. The race was worth
$4,000 to the winner, $500 to the second
| horse and $500 to the third. The track
was muddy, but the time-2:09A for a
mile and quarter-was not slow under
| the circumstances.
The owner of Howard Mann is much
/ better known to the world as Pittsburg
Phil He has made many brilliant coups
since he bade good-by to the smoke of his
! native town, but in none of his vast raids
| upon the ring has he displayed more cum
ming than in that which was brought to a
successful conclusion to-day. 80
A few years ago Phil was credited with
winning 100000 on a single race won by
! the two-year-old. King Cadmus, and gos-
! sip said he took $75 600 out of various pool
rooms of the country when Beimar won
| five successive races last autumn. Those
competent to judge say to-day's winning
was very close to the former figure.
But it wasn't the amount won so much
! as the clever fashion in which the public
had the wool pulled over its eyes regard
| ing Howard Mann. When the ent. les
were sent out yesterday Howard
Mann was not on the list. To-day
Phil withdrew The Winner. Nothing
was said about adding Howard
Mann until three-quarters of an hour be-
+ fore the horses started. 1t was not until
speculation began that the public realized
that Belmar was TO have helpmate, for
so per cent of these present regarded How
ara Mann as mere pacemaker.
The race showed that Belmar was a sec
-ond string to the bow, for while the gray
horse was fighting in the first division
with The Swain, Handspring, Sir Walter,
Loki and King Arthur in the run up the
| backstreteh Howard Mann was in the Sec
ond tier, running under double-wrapped
I rein, ready to stride over the field
/ Getaways runaway race for the same
+ rich handicap was not more impressive
than Howard Mann's when finally given
/ a free rein.. While the field was battling
for second place ne galloped in alone. nm
touched by whip or spur. Henry Martin,
tine California jockey, rode him. Belmar
quit more than quarter of mile from
| home.
When Riley Grammar appeared at the
i gate to-day be was admitted without
/ trouble. The association might have
kept him out and obliged him to get an
injunction, as he did during the Morris
Park meeting but with the litigation in
its present state, it was decided TO give
Grammar the privilege of the track await
ing final decision of the courts before re.
sorting to summary action.
