One OF the largest gatherings ever seen at
picturesque Morris Park turned out yesterday
to see q programme which bore out the adage
that,horse racing is the sport Of kings. At tho
spacious headquarters Of the Westchester Rae
ing Association it il always difficult to count
heads. but as good a Judge rs Bob" Pinkcr-
ton said the muster exceeded that OF Met
ropolitah day. which was stimated at
1900. The sport furnished was we'll worthy
OF such generous patronage. and weather
and track conditions were I'm keeping. The
starting was PROMPT and good, and altogether
the outing was most enjoyable. II was an of
day for ~favorites and their followers. however.
az only two FIRST choices scored. ard they were
quoted at unremuneratlYe prices.
Most interest centred in the National
Stallion Race OF 10000 for which the prtsum-
ably p-st two-year-olds in the country we're
nominated. Seventeen OF them faced the
Issue. Lady Uncas being the only withdrawal
OF those named overnight. wiile Missionary.

Leonards Ally. Virginia Earle. had a confident
following at the same price. Outside OF those
the only candidate seriously considered was
Eingston's sou Kentucky.
The lot got OF well together after very little
manTuvring Mt the barrier. Virginia Earle
was quickest in motion. with Moirine and st.
Finnan next. At the first pole the kcene
Jacket was still in front. while knightof Rhodes
had moved up past MOdrine. Virginia Earle
held her own FOR anothcrfurlOng with the other
pair named in the same order. Coming down
TO the main track His Royal Highcss got his
neck in front Of the flly. while Vulcain loomed
up at her throatlatch. Once fairly on the

length. with Pupil as the dangerous contender.

as II His Royal lIighness would come home
alone. but Pupil closed on him with Il grand
burst Of speed and won by a short head after n
sensational finish. Many onlookers blamed II.
Martin for a weak drive home on the Daily colt.
but the facts appeared to be that His ROYAL
Highness was done to a turn while Pupil had
ju st struck his gait. OConnor came up with a
rattle in the last sixteenth with the out
slider Vulcain and captured third money three
lengths back Of His Royal HiGhness and a neck
in front Of Virginia Earl. Knight OF Rhodes
was a close fifth and MoGrine. st. Finnan and
