star bright wins EthelDeft StakeS IN
Exciting Contest.
The attendance at Morris Park was unu-
sually large, even for Monday The pro-
gram offered no bright or shining stars, but
the horses entered seemed equally matched,
and this fact together with the warm sun
shine, brought out a big crowd. KIondike
was the only favorite killer. and he might
have been termed fayorite, as he prob
ably carried as many commissions as
Draughtsman did After the first race five
first choice horses got home first, making
the majority of the talent extremely happy
klondike is a horse of unusual merit. He
took up his 173 pounds and ran through the
deep mud for one and one-half miles like a
jumper of some class. He indulged Alva-
RADIO IL and Draughtsman with the lead
until within striking distance Of home
when he went to the front and won as he
pleased. For his excellent work over the
hurdles in this country he is to go abroad
to try his luck on the British turf, leaving
New York Saturday next.
Star Bright and Douro were the only
starters for the Ethelbert stakes at two
miles, over the Withers course. 1t Is per-
haps fortunate for Star Bright that no
more horses did start, for he required the
whole track all for himself. Mr.. Madden
gave Odom orders to wait with Star Bright
and let DOuro make the running for mile
mood He nearly pulled poor little Odom
out of the saddle from the start, and on
several occasions he ran out and zigzagged
on the track. Odom had to keep hitting
him lightly on the right side of his head
with his whip to keep him anywhere near
the rail on the turns. He finally won by
couple Of lengths In 1894 Both horses
We're well backed. Star Bright being slight
favorite at all times.
Rolling Beer. running In the name and
colors of William Cahill. won the race for
two-year-ods after a long drive with Gold
Heels. He was u top-heavy favorlte at 6 to
>, while Gold Heels was his nearest COM
petitor. If the start had been anywhere
near good, it is likely that All Saints would
have won the race. Half of the boys did
not think it was a start when the flag fell.
and Ransch. among the others, pulled up
for second. When he discovered his
error he went on and gained on the leaders
all the way home. He going strongest

All of Mr.. keenes horses seem to be In
good condition.
The Second Monday handicap fell to Car
buncle in easy style. Vulcain and DR.. Bar
low were generously played by many shrewd
bettors, and both horses ran up to their
form. Carbuncle In the mud Is a better colt
than he is on dry track He held the race
safe at all points. Vulcain was second and
Dr.. Barrow came In third.
Colonel Padden appeared In T. D. Sulli-
vans colors. and was strong favorite.
With Burns in the saddle the race looked as
If 1t were q gait Tor him. The start was
fair, with the Colonel in second place. He
soon galloped into the lead and held 1t to
the end. Luerana ran second and Miss NJ
divers Manga was third. Dolando ran for
the first time in j. ]. McCafferty's name
yesterday. and won his race from Dread and
Sparrow Wing. Henry had to ride hard
through the stretch to catch Dread. With
a better jockey Dread would have won the
race.
s. c. Hildreth asked for hearing before
the Jockey Club. which was granted Satur-
day night. Hildreth desired to know what
his standing was in racing circles, and said
If there was no chance for his racing here
he would take all of his horses west He
stable here. The Jockey Club heard all
that Hiidreth had to say, but did not give
out a decision.
W. c. Whitney has engaged John Rogers
to take entire charge OF all his horses and
to train them Mr.. Rogers is considered an
able trainer and a man Of much sagacity
Both Mr.. Whitney and Mr.. Rogers received
many congratulations yesterday. When
Rogers blows his trumpet for calling all Of
Mr.. Whitney's horses in, the stampede Of
thoroughbreds will make the gathering ct
the clans look like hollow mockery. The
rumor that Mr.. Whitney has bought ]. e.
Madden's Kentucky farm is without foun-
dation.
Bellario received a clean bill Of health
from the veterinary and goes to Mr. Croker
