THE RACETRACK.
TWO-YEAR-OLD COLLAPSES IN TWO
MILE FARCE-ORDINARY SPORT
ON A GOOD TRACK.

ON \ GOOD IRAth-
The last race on the programme at the Morris
Park track yesterday was about as close to farce
has been any equine contest in the East this
year While the average follower of horseracing
deplores that few distance contests are
seen on the programmes of racing associations to-
day. they We're served with two mile race al
Morris Park yesterday which few OF them would
care to witness for the second time The contest
called The Watercolor, but a name with
humorous or even a traEical. twang would have
been appropriate. Tha conditions were for
two -olds and upward, and of the three origt
nal entries Carbuncle, fouryear-old, declined the
issue.
This left only two TO face the starter-The Rhym-
er, a three -year-old, carrying III pounds. and
nervous looking two-year-old William H, carrying
81 pounds The layers Of odds in the betting ring
seemed TO be able foreten with remarkable ex-
actness what the result would be- for the best they
would offer against the chances of The Rhymer
was 10 g. Even this price seemed satisfactory 70
OF the best judges at the track. The 10 Of
fered against the two-yearod belonging TO the Sui
uvan- -MuIligan- McCioveru combination was tempt
ing 10 the unfortunate who had wagered unsuccess
fully earlier in the day
The contest was nothing beyond that. after going
furong Shaw sent The Rhymer TO the front, and
the was Little Martin belabored the
sides of the poor Loantaka youngster before one
mile had been reached, but the infant racing ma
chine could not respond. Shaw pulled The Rhymer
TO easy ganop in the homestretch. and the colt
was actually walking twenty yards beyond the nm
ishing point. There have been races at distance
TO which two-year-olds were eligible before. but
none of them furnished such a ridiculous spec
tacle did the uneven match between The Rhymer
and William II. yesterday. Broken Vows is the
dam OF William II. After the farce yesterday the
Tammany colt curled up 5 If the task asked OF
