ton Beach track yesterday afternoon when he
won the Peconic Stakes from Martimas and
Ellerdale In the presence OF an appreciatlve
crowd numbering at least 5000. The race
was for three-ye olds at one mile and an

important OF the meeting IL owners had sent
a fair percentage OF the large field eligible 10

affected the result, but It would have been
much more satisfactory as test Of thres-year-
old merit. As 1t turned out. Ethelbert had
nothing to beat but Martimas. The other
starter. Ellerdale. was not seriously consd-

chances King Barlsycorn was posted as an
extra entry. but was withdrawn at the last mo-
ment in favor Of Ellerdale. and the race really
dwindled down to a duel. Ethelbert opened

following that even money was the best to be
had against the Canadian colt at post time.
