sette at Good Odds.


sette at Good Odds.
There was rather a slim attendance at
Morris Park yesterday afternoon, although
the card was moderately attractive. with
the Belle Meade Stakes and the autumn
lightweight serial handicap and four other
ordinary races Perhaps the muggy, sultry
weather was responsible for the slim gath
ering 1t was gloomy and disagreeable
there all day, and the results Of some of the
races were great disappointments Three
favorites came home first. and three we'll
backed second and third choices won the
other races.
Arkell & Elmore's filly. Belle Of Lexing
ton. was the one selected to win the autumn
handicap by the majority Of betters. Belle
Of Troy, an added starter. was second
choice. Both Of these filies found the
weight too much for them, and neither was
ever prominent in the race. Belle Of Troy
won third money, but was poor third.
Musette, another added starter, won easily
from Meehanus. The start was fair. and
Show took the lead Immediately with Mu-
sette. and held it to the end. winning a
clever victory. Modrine won the Belle
Meade stakes. He was q to 8 favorite.
and justified the confidence in him by win
ming as he pleased. Bullman rushed through
the field at the start, and secured a lead Of
three lengths before the horses had gone a
furlong The others closed in on him some
what at the stretch. but he shot away again
when his jockey drew his whip. The strug-
gle for the place was short and fierce.
Brigadier was knocked to his knees at the
start, and could never get fighting chance
until the last furlong. Then he came like a
wild horse, beating Watercure in the last
stride for the place. The latter ran fair
race. and will do to watch. Kamara, with
Turner up, and Flaunt, with Burns up were
| added starters, but finished in the ruck
The first race was won in hollow style by
Redpath. He was heavily played by all the
| plungers, who figured that with only 100
pounds on his back he could smother his
was ridiculous. Henry rode him yesterday.
| The last time he started at Gravesend Tlr-
ner had the mount, and he ran third in a
race that he should have won.
Ashes and Luerona were thought to be
the best hllies In the two-year-old race
They carried generous commissions from all
sides, but when 1t came to racing there was
| the front at the start and galloped along IN
that position all the way to the wire.
Katherine. at long price, was second, and
Michael Clancy's In Shot third. The two
| favorites were not dangerous in any part
| Of the race. Ondurdis was 315 to /, and her
owner Is said to have won handsomely by
her victory.
In the nth race. for non-winners at any
time, Of $780, Compensation was thought to
be almost certain winner The Betting
| opened at to 3, but there was such an
onslaught Of money offered that he was
soon at etena and to q. Bullman roda a
miserable race on him. getting away from
the barrier in bad position, and never
trying TO improve 1t until toe late Cyrano.
With McCue up. won the race by a neck.
