Four First Choices
Beaten.

Inc Tarpey stake, a handicap. over one
mile and a furlong, was decided at Ingle-
slde yesterday. Only four faced the
starter, with the muchly talked about
and queerly named What-Er Lou ruling
a stanch favorite in the betting. He was
allotted top weight-116 pounds-and
finished last. Pggott kept him in front

lay down his arms David Tenny now

the only winning choices.

leader but Martin was compelled to be

In the mile and a quarter hurdle handi-
cap at least three of the starters were
probably trying. The crowd made the
Corrigan entry. Tyro, favorite, and the
LongfellOw gelding made a very good
showing. Leading to the stretch, he was
there collared by Granger, and the pair
took the last hurdle head and head. Al
this juncture McAuliffe brought Peter the
Second up and outfooting both Tyro and
Granger won by a head. The latter
snatched the place from the Corrigan en-
try by short head.
In the three furlong scramble thirteen
youngsters sported silk. and the winner
got away from the talent. Mountebank,

SMITH RELEASED.
Judge Cook Finds That the Young
Man Was Illegally Held.

]. Morgan Smith, who was arrested
Wednesday at the instance of H. D. Mon
tague on a charge of fraud, was released
YESTERDAY by Judge Cook The court held
that the defendant could not be held un-
der the affidavit on which the order Of
arrest was made, as it did not adhere to
the requirements of the law. Further
more, it was not shown that Smith had
stated that he had funds in the Connecti-
cut Bank or had deposited money with his
friend in the East upon whom the drafts
were drawn. Consequently the court held
that there was no fraud, and as the de-
fendant had made affidavit that he was not
going to leave the city the court made the
order of release and the incident was at
an end.
