mastorpieces. The broad bands Of yellow
athwart tho green made o fairy-like picture, q
scene which will live for many years In the
memories OF all who saw It. Tho racing was
fairly good, ono Of the contests bordering
on the sensational. This was the White
Plains Handicap for two-year-olds over tha
Eclipse course. which was won In runaway
style by J hn A. Bennet's chestnut colt Hand
sci. by Hanover. out Of imported Tarantella.
In tho recollection Of the reporter thore Ia only
one race that can DO compared to 1t, so easily
did Handsol dispose Of his field, and this was
the Realization Stakes Of Tournament at
Sheepshead Bay. In yesterdays contest for the
White Plains Handsel beat tho bulk Of his
neld over fifty yards, and 1t could have beon
much further had Coylie permitted him to
finish at the pace he showed in the dip.
The Morris Park Handicap for three-ycarolda
was o hollow victory for August Belmont's big
colt Don do Orc, by imported Rayon dor, out Of
imported Bcllndonna, while +. II. g. T. Hitch

OF Forever. completed her season Of conquests
by capturing the November Hurdle Handicap
