General McGruder
Won the Sprint.

There were some striking reversalS OF
form among the jockeys at Delnar Park
yesterday. Bell and Stcckwell. two OF the
end-of-the-class lads. came up and made
O'Neill Dale and O'Brien. the leaders. look
bad By winning from them on horses in
ferior TO those ridden by the stars. So II
was to the front with poor little Bell. the
honest. tow-topped kid who is always doing
t;ie best he can and who showed forty
pound improvement on Antolee in the last
race yesterday. And while Gilmore on Miss
Patron and Dale on Beana We're bod1liIg
around in soft spots and puddles and get
ting jolted out of the race, Stockweli, who
rides the wonderful '.Hinkey finish,' went
on with Peter Duryea and won as false a
race as ever was run. He got lot OF run
out of the sulky Mr.. Duryea by going at
him In the hack stretch and driving it out
of him, while Dale was waiting for Lady
of the West to come up and she was doing
the best she could after getting cut or
at the first turn.
When Gilmore and Dale did begin to drive
their horses Duryea was too far in front
to be caught, and. to tell the truth. wore
WELL for he did not stop. The other pair
closed lot of ground in the stretch. Beana
going especially fast, but they could not
quite reach. Miss Patron weakened very
perceptioly in the last few yards, and was
almost beaten for the place by Beana.

1t would be unfair to o'Brien to say that
Bell outrode him in the last race. for IT
was evident that Antolee was better than

Lacrimae's early speed and Sister
Sarah's inclination to begin slowly won the
FIRST race for the fearful fiily. Sister Sarah
gave her tight at the end. but the weight

Tenney Belle hand-galloped in the second,

EuSenie 6. had all kinds OF speed and
stamina In the third She got out, mads
all her own pace and won prettily all BY
herself. for the boy on her did not help her
q bit In the stretch. Judge Steadman would
have won had he begun his run sooner. He
should be sent up at the half mile II meant
TO win.
Dale's clever finish won the fourth for
General McGruder by a head from Sard,
who ran a very good race. and finished
etrong. Lasso was third. She looked like u
winner In the stretch at the last sixteenth,
but Gilmore could not get It out OF her.

Gilmore and Dale took maps in the fifth
race. and let StockweN steal It with Peter
Duryea, who ran much improved race at

Lomond and Reducer were probably the
best in the last race, hut tho luck of the
break and a bad bunch of riding at the post
spoiled their chances.
