John f. Maddon's happy combination OF
shrewdness and good luck, which has made
him one Of the most prominent horsomen OF
recent years. was again In evidence yesterday.
The occasion was tho running OF the Great
Trial at Shcepshead Bay. q stake with q guar
anteed value Of 100000. He started a pair.
and the brown colt David Garrink, by Hanover
Peg Wellington, did tho trick. 1t was
typical Madden coup but was decidedly
popular at that. as the owner made no
secret OF tho fact that he expected
to come near winning with ono OF his pair. or
these Radford, q fine black colt by Falsetto-
VirGilene. was supposed to be tho better. and
he was intrustod 10 Sims. while O'Leary had
the mount on David Garrick. The stable was
quoted at the liberal odds OF II to /. and all
Madden's friends got aboard. Three other
owners were also in doubt as to the relative
merits OF their candidates. and each sent a
pair to the post. Bromley Il Co.'s Mes
merist and Missionary. respectively ridden
by O'Connor and Taral. had tho most con-
ndent following. and the price against them
dropped from to to to .. John Days pair
were His Royal Highness and Erwin. both sons
OF the original winner OF the stake. His High
ness. They were comparatively negl ected at 5
to l. and the odds soon opened up point bot
tors believing that 100 pounds would anchor
His Royal HiRhness. while they could find no
data on which to figure the others chances.
Modrine and Water King carried the colors OF
Green B. Morris. the veteran horseman. who
was lucky enough to pull of the $4,000
National Stallion Stakes with Pupil at the Nor
ris Park meeting. He attracted few moneyed
followers, and the price receded from to to
g to /. Still speculation was limited almost
entirely to the candidates mentioned. with the
notable exception OF the Keeno Ally Virginia
Earle. by st. Leonards-Cerito. who was played
80 heavily that her price dropped from 10 to 1
to 8 Il. All OF the sixteen colored on the card
answered the bugle call. and the field was
further strens thened by the Fonso colt Mo.
Meekin. added by G. T. Patterson.
The race was over the Futurity course. ITO
feet less than six furongs. Very little skir-
mishing preceded the start. which was per
feet one and tho lot came tearing down toward
the critical elbow and lined out across the
track like charging cavalry. The brilliant
cloud Of dust after the flag went down., 1t
could he seem however, that Virginia Earle
the Reene candidate was headed BY Mesm erist.
while Mark Cheek doomed up in third position.
