.. Three of*the most useful tools in the z horse racing business ihdulged in a Jaunt at IngEeside track yesterday. They were all of the feminine persuasion and are known to the turf as Tea Rose III, May /. w: and Trolley. The trio met in the after piece, a: five-furlong scramble. In the past, May: W looked to. have the "lnjun' sign on the other two, and the. highly educated ones made her ' to 10 favorite- Bookmaker Joe. Rose and the racing firm of AtkiIt & I40ttridge seemed to. be inn pressed wfth:the idea that Tea Rose was the right thing, and while everybody was busy getting aboard Trolley and May w, the gentlemen named backed the Midlo- thian lilly. They were correct in their prognostications, for Tea Rose led from the first jump, and at the wire beat May w. out over two lengths in. track record time, 1:OO14. Trolley 'dogged' it badly the last quarter.
 Of the other events decided the favor ties captured three. James Tod Sloan participated in six races, and managed to finish first on one occasion. He Is un- 'doubtedly a great rider on a good horse, but. on an even break there are other capable men in the saddle:
 . Rubicon finally became affected with that turf disease. termed speed, and turned it loose in the mile run. fifth on the card. His owner, Tom McGowan, laid his checks down good and thick in the ring at odds of 5 to l, and. the big chestnut horse led. throughout. downing Newsgatherer a neck at the wire Grady, the favorite, finished fourth.
 The fast lilly Celoso appears to have lost her form entirely. She was made an even money favorite over a band of crabs in the opening six-furlong run, and after displaying a sharp turn of speed for half a dozen panels, fell out of it. At the end All Smoke won by half a length from Naranja, the second choice, with Sloan up. The winner was at one time 20 to l in the ring.
 The Apache gelding Native Son repeat ed his victory of Wednesday by downing quite a bunch of. youngsters in the three and one-haf furlong spin, going to the post a 2 to l favorite. While Gold Scratch and La ParaSseuse were fighting it out the last part, Sloan got up with the favor ite, winning by less than a length La Parasseuse quit. permitting Thorpe to get the place with Gold Scratch.
 The wise money sent Fonsovannah to the post favorite for the seven-furlong run, and splendid piece of riding on the part of ''Skeets" Martin got the money for Hildreth'S colt. Lord Marmion made the running in front to the paddock. where Martin collared him with the first choice, and then, 'stalling off Sloans chal- lenge' with Sardonic, got the verdict over the latter by head in I:2714. Midian. the second choice, was left. at the post But six went to the post in the mile and a quarter run, decided under selling conditions. Alvarado ruled favorite. and oVerhauling Song and Dance the last six leenth, won all out by head in 2:O9 pr. Marks finished in the show.
