NEW YORK, Oct 3.-The fall meeting
of the Westchester Racing Association be-
gan to-day at Morris Park with the first
running of the S26 COO Matron Stakes as
the chief attraction. Charconac, the win
ner of the Futurity; Gonfalon and Gulden
were scratched, but Mr.. Jersey was added,
so that sixteen of the best two-year-olds
in training faced the starter. The Brom-
ley pair, Indian Fairy and Windmere,
coupled in the betting, ruled favorite at
13 to 5, with Brigadier, who ran second
in the Futurity, a strong second choice.
They were off on the first break to
struggling start, and Runaway Girl and
Modrine rushed out to make the running,
closely attended by Indian Fairy. This
order was maintained to the dip, when
Modrine began to falter, and Indian FAIRY
and Redpath moved up. At the sixteenth
pole little Slack rushed Indian Fairy to
the. front, and riding with hands and
heels, won by scant length from Red-
path. Runaway Girl lasted long enough
to take third money by a head from Kill
ashandra and Brigadier, both OF whom
closed fast.
O'Leary, who rode Redpath, claimed
foul, as he said Indian Fairy shut him
off when he tried to come through on the
rail- 1t was not allowed.
