The Evergreen Stake decided at Ingle- side yesterday, drew large attendance, and was quite a novelty in its way, the old-time custom of heats being reverted to. This style of racing Is sanctioned by the Western Turf Congress, and 1t proved fast betting affair. Won't Dance, 4-year-old daughter of Longfellow and Can Dance, sporting the colorS of Ed Cor rigan, and ridden in faultless fashion by Tod Sloan, turned up victor in straight heats. Ace, Buckwa and Lincoln II were the only other starters.
 It was the fourth event the pro- gramme, and ir the first betting posted, Buckwa had the call at odds of to 5,
 with 8 to offered about the Corrigan
 mare. At bugle call this had shifted,
 with Won't Dance ruling to 5 choice, while the odds against Buckwa had re- ceded to to and better. Ace was we'll | supported at and s, with Lincoln in slight demand. The first heat resulted in
 Thorpe, on Buckwa, holding the lead to
 the paddock, where the favorite and Ace
 closed on him. and a hot drive ensued. l Sloan got Won't Dance in a neck before Ace, with Buckwa a head farther away,
 in 1:4212
 The heat winner was now held a to | 5 chance in the books, and justified the
 confidence reposed in her by overhauling 1 Ace in the second heat, when well pointed toward the wire, winning easily by less | than a length, agaln reelnS OH the mile
 in 1:421a. Buckwa was done when half d
 mile of this heat had been covered, prov ing bitter disappointment to his stable. | The stake was worth $1l00 to the winner.
 It was tempestuous day for favorites, l the stake winner and Our Climate, the l jumper, alone landing purses. Morcorito, | at 20 to l, Satyr with to l about him and Primavera furnished the surprises | Ed Corrigans colt, Frank Ireland, was l figured by the smart ones a certainty for l the opening two-year-old run at five fur i1cr tn f a Tn . faX- TO 1 with Mike Hennessy in the saddle. Mike l got his mount away well, but in the
 stretch could .5e., not shake off Primavera,
 downed a neck in 1:02% Oraibee was l poor third.
 Old Rubicon had Tod Sloan up and was | a red-hot favorite for the six-furlong
 purse, next decided. It so happened that l Walter Jennings had the fast Trolley keyed up to concert pitch, and she showed | her heels to the favorite the entire way,
 winning very handily in 1:14 fiat. Two to | 1 was obtainable about the mare around
 post time. Conley landed Newsgatherer l in the show.
 The mile and a quarter over hurdles
 was only a gallop for Our Climate which
 went to the post a to faVor1te. Huston
 kept him in front rom the start & ana won Wn nita, the second choice, appeared sore,
 ending up poor third, with George Coch-
 ran in the saddle.
 | "Skeets" Martin on the to favorite 1 McLisht gave delightfully."- refreshing l exhibition of how a race can be tossed off. Heading the bunch with his mount on entering the stretch, he then relapsed | into a reverie and awakened in time to l see Tod Sloan, who had come from the | far rear on Satyr, at his horses heels.
 Making an effort at his old-time finishing powers, Sloan made him look cheap and | got the verdict by half a length. | Master O'Connor more than cut a large
 figure in the final seven furlong run, de- | cided under selling conditions. He had l the mount on Mocorito, a 20 to l shot, and
 keeping the outsider out in the front po-
 sition, won, with considerable to spare,
 from Midian, the to favorite. Bonita 1 finished third.
