FAvORlTES IN THE VAN.
HoNoRs lB0UT Evenly DIVIDED
AT AQUEDUCT TESTERDAr.

There was another large crowd at the Aque-
duct race track yesterday. the attractive pr
grammo furnished by Secretary Rehberger
bringing out tho regulars in force, while thcre
was q strong Hebrew contingent on tie grounds,
yesterday being q Jewish holiday.
Tho feature OF the card was a mile.and.a-six-
teenth race, with Buckwa, Ben Elder, Lobon-
gula. Maurice and other fair.class horses nomi-
mated to start. Buckwa and Bon Elder were
heavily played at the opening, but nearing the
close OF speculation n large commission was
placed on Lobengula at 4 TO l. Buckwa, on the
extreme outside OF the track, had a decided ad-
vantage at tho start, and Willie Martin was
clever enough to make il tell. He took q nice
pull on tho old gelding rounding tho first
turn, and while the balance of the field
was driving to reach him he was going
smoothly and strongly in the van. Lobengula,
after being knocked about considerably. made q
determined rally for the lead on tho upper
turn. and half way home got to Buckwa's sad
die girths. The last sixteenth OF a mile was run
in a drive, with both Martin and Thorpe riding
superbly. Lobengula got as far rs Buckwa's
throatlatch in the final strides. and there he
hung, being ultimately defeated by q head in
the fast time dAks. The light-weighted Miss
Prim was thiV1 len Elder and Maurice wcro
badly interfeff With shortly after the start,
while the FortNfie champion, Our Johnny, was
too sore to do himself justice.
There wero eight starters for the opening dash
at five furlongs for maiden two.year-olds, Long
Aero and julius Cesar carrying most Of the
money. Father Bill Daly's Gen. Maceo sprinted
away in tho lead and was never caught, winning
handsdown. Long Acre was an easy second and
Tho Cid third. The latter is n brother to the
wellknown Western performer Umbrella.
Albert s., at the very false price of 10 to /.
captured tho second race at a mile, after q very
pretty struggle will Old SauRus. Thorpe got
away in front with the winner, and, rating him
along nicely, was enabled to stall Off the rush
