WAX TAPER A SURPRISE.
ENLUCkT DAY FOR FITORITES 1T
BRIGHTON BEACH IRICK.


Unexpected Defeat of George Keene.
There was good second day crowd at the
Brighton Beach track yesterday afternoon. and
.ho racing justified the patronage. Enormous
helds turned out for most OF the events and
winners wero so hard to pick that only two
hrst choices pulled their hackers through.
One OF thsse was Handsel. the erratic four.
year-old colt by Hanover-Tarantella. that
ranked so high In his two-year- old career. He
was among the eleven named for the nfth
event. mile race for three-year. olds and up
ward. and for some reason hardly justified by
recent form he became o pronounced favorite.
Handselmade all the running. with The Dau-
phin hanging on ND to the field stand. There
Tyrshena raced up from third position and.
sprintlng past The Dauphn. ranged alongside
the favorite. IIandsc was on the inner rail
and lust as Tyrshena had the race safe he
bored In so much that Turner on Handsel
could not use his whip for a moment. Tyr
shena won ty a head. but was disqualified for
the foul.
The other successful favorlte was Affect.
played to even money In field OF eleven. The
FLY had to be dragged out OF the paddock but
when 1t came to racing che spreadeaRled her
field and won all the way by three lengths.
Trumpet ran second 10 tho last stride. where
Ceylon nosed him out.
The first event had field OF eleven. with
Firearm iavorite at o to >. The speedy Rayon
d'Of gelding ran race by himself from one
to three leuEths clear OF tho others until the
last sixteenth. where Spencer closed like a
whirlwnd with Lakeland and won by head.
Only one Of the eighteen maiden two. year
C!ds name for the second race declined the
issue but tho regulars played Mac tlecEnos
the unweldy bunch and settled down in third
place, while Lady tncas. also well backed.
was burning up the track In front. There wa.
