IN THE STORM AT AQUEDUCT
THE FEW SPECTATORS WERE UNHAPPY

THEY SAW CLOSE AND DOUBTFUL FINISH
| No one went to Aqueduct yesterday because OF
love OF racing The hundreds who braved the
storm were regulars OF the most hardened type
| and yet before the first race was run the majority
regretted the venture. ior the cold the rain. the
wind the muddy track and the wholesale wrecKins
OF the card by scratching proved to be doleful
combination
The Arverne Stakes for three year-ods furnished
the chief contest and brought out fair field
The finish extremely close with the decision
in favor Of c. F. Dryers Sly Fox. although the
majority OF those near the line believed that
Tabouret had beaten him a short head
Makers handling OF Ninety Cents in the opening
race was as unsatisfactory TO the stewards as IT
was to the spectators. and the young jockey was
compelled to listen TO some strong WORDS OF
| caution He can consider himself lucky as his
work since the meeting opened has been far from
good ..,..
