KING LIEF WINS THE CRoTONA HANDI-
CAP on A HEAVY TRACK.

CAP on A HEAVY TRACh
King Lief won the Crotona Handicap over the
last six furlongs Of the Withers' Mile at Morris
Park yesterday. romping home an easy winner
ahead Of Belle of Lexington. his nearest pursuer,
by a clear lead of three lengths. The Crotona
Handicap was We'll named for yesterday AZ least.
IL was through Croon, and plenty Of 4, for the
track decidedly sloppy from the heavy rain OF
the night and morning. There was long and tire
some delay At the post, field being sent of
until there had been seven breaks For part OF the
delay Belle Of Lexington appeared responsible. but
the chief offender, in the starters Judgment,
Brennan Father "BiIl" Days hoy. who had the
mount the awfully named Hutzilopochtl
added starter. Mr. Fitzgerald accordingly set
Brennan down for two days
When the flag finally fell Tommy Burns took
King Lief into the lead before the bunch had
tied into their strides, and the Prince Lief colt
was never headed thereafter winning in the easiest
kind OF a galop. Outlander, the favorite, was not
placed, and was never 4 factor in the race. King
Pepper who beat King Lief about six lengths IN
the Toboggan Handicap Tuesday, about the
same distance behind that horse yesterday. King
Lief VIII be reckOned with in soft going hereafter.
A decidedly unpleasant feature OF the days rae
Ing was the catastrophe that overlook John Days
nlly Gennellie, the heavily played favorite in
the first race. After declining 10 accept break
that appeared. from the grandstand to be a good
one. Mr. Fitzgerald dropped the flag, and when the
bunch shot forward il was seen that Glennelle was
left at the post absolutely motionless. Isia ran
with the leaders far the stretch. when Slack
shook him up bit. and he walked ahead and
captured easy victor from Margraviate, with
Katherine a good third. Both Mr.. Fitzgerald and
OConnor, who was up on Giennellie, declared that
the FLY broke with the rest and a fraction of
second after the flag dropped came 10 a stand
still, with both feet obstinatey planted in front
OF her. Ihe stewards heard these explanations
which appeared reasonable, and accepted them.
There was heavy play on Glennelie, and II Is
understood that her owner. John DAILY was one Of
the hard hit Mounce. the California jockey.
