The Daughter of Maxim Took the Tarpey Stake
 in a Walk.
Considered a Formidable Can didate for the Brooklyn
 Handicap.
Three Favorites Finished in Front Thorpe's Weak Ride Caused
 the Defeat of Orinaar

The Tarpey stake, a handicap valued at 5000, was decided at Ingleside yes terday and the winner Fleur de Lis, is now heralded as the probable winner of the Brooklyn handicap, in which race she has been allotted 103 pounds. The ring was pleased to lay to against the daughter of Maxim, and it was eagerly grabbed up. Rated behind the other four starters until the stretch was reached, "Skeets" Martin there slld through an opening and won in romp rom the black horse Judge Denny, ridden by Dick Clawson. Lin stock, carrying 95 pounds, of which great things were expected, was poorly handled by little Gray, but managed to get the show from imp Tripping. The winner covered the mile and a fur long in 1:57A.
 The raw, biting weather and the presence of rain kept many from the track, only those with a good thing pinned in their hats attending. The handlcappers figured things about rlgnt and the majority of the books quit behind on the days gambling Three first choices, two second choices and an outsider took the purses. In the two-year-old event, at four furlongs, Formero, a son of imp. Con veth, upset calculations by beating the to favorite, Saintly, a neck in 50A seconds. Ridden by H. Brown, the chestnut youngster hit the stretch second to Gold Scratch, and there as- stunning the lead drew away and won with nothing to spare. Milt Young, one of the Corrigan entries, was a good third.
 Of the official fifteen entries in the six-furlong selling run that followed but six started Caliente, with Thorp up, had first call in the betting, and catching Mainstay in the home run led the big chestnut past the tape over length in 1:16A.

 Willie Martin and Can't Dance were seen to good advantage in the mile and three furlong run, decided under sell ing conditions. The Longfellow horse was second choice to Tulare, but should have been a i to shot. Martin allowed Little Cripple and Rufalba to make the running to the stretch, where he moved toward the front and 1t was all over. Jockey Bills" mount won as he pleased, with Rufalba second, head in front of Wawona. Thorpe, astride the favorite, Tulare, met with more difficulties than an old veteran trying to get a pension from the Gov ernment. and eventually brought up bad last.
 It would begin to seem as though Veragua had cinch on all of the hur- die affairs at the local track Should ering 146 pounds he was again pound ed off the boards, and leading from the start, won by thirty open lengths. Monita was once more an easy second dozen lengths ahead of Our Climate De Soto fell from the back of Governor Budd at the fifth jump, and J O c and Presidio were both pulled up with bro ken pedigrees. The cratic Alvarado was a supposed good thing, but the price was too short and he was left at the post Some day he will be a good timber topper
 On past performances Orimar looked the biggest sort of. "cinch' for the final seven furlong run. There were some swell losers about and it was de- cided that Orimar must be downed. Accordingly Ed Garland was hurried ly initiated as a member of the light
