Paddock Points.
Andrews, who was the property of the
Jersey Stable, broke his leg yesterday
morning while he was being worked at
Iron Hill and had to be destroyed. This
is sad blow to his trainer English
George, who for the last year and half
has been nursing and giving him the
best care in hopes he might stand train
ing.
Johnnie Pangle lost a swell bet on his
mare Wild Duck as he thought she was
a sure thing, but it happened to be one
of his few mistakes; although with
better start she might have won.
Mills who was quoted in the ring at 60
to came very near beating the fast
sprinted Harry Bennett as only head
them.
The placing Of Leonilas third came in
for great deal of criticism, as a number
thought Brittanic was third, but as it
was a close finish no one but the Judge
could separate them.
Charlie Mcdonald and Desbrosses had
it hot and heavy for the first five fur
longs. 1t was good race where the
best horse won.
Johnny Dwycr finely broke his spell
of hard luck and rode winner.
Nostrand carried off the honors ycstcr-
day, as he won two races, with good
prices against them.
Sam Hart played John p. yesterday
for good thing, but the best he could
to was finish third.
The books had The best OF the argu-
ncnt yesterday as only two favorites
won.
The track was in better condition,
although how long it will remain SO is
1ard to tell.
