THE RACETRACK.
HEAVY GOING AT MORRIS PARK-PICT-
URE OF NASTURTIUM FOR
MR.. WHITNEY.

MR.. WHITNEY.
Only the bravest of the followers of the races
had the courage to visit Morris Park yesterday.
The track in a frightfuI condition. and the
rain, which fell continuously throughout the af-
ternoon. made everything extremely disagreeable.
Numerous scratches marred the programme. and
deprived several OF the contests of much interest
The starting In all of the large fields was
usual unsatisfactory. Three favorites out Of six
came home In front, and the winners of the other
were heavily played. Paul Clifford. Carbuncle
and Himself were the only in the first race.
out of the eight originally entered Mr.. Whtney's
colt had no trouble in winning the race. although
several of the plungers bet large amounts on Car
buncle. Himself was utterly outclassed and
factor in the contest.
August Belmont's fast colt Namtor won the
Yankee Handicap, for two-year-olds. after a hard
struggle with Igniter. Setauket was the choice of
the heavy bettors but he got away from the post
badly. and stopped after running five furongs.
Caughnawaga, Flora Pomona and Lord Quex de-
clined to start, the result might have been
different. Namtor is however. good. game colt.
and he will probably win many races for the
maroon and black. Alexander Shields brought Han
dicapper down from Canada. fresh from many hard
fought victories, and the fourth with
him. and with it several handsome wagers for
which he was laid to 1 by the boOkmakers- Lord
Pepper made bold effort win the purse. and
only headed by the Canadian colt in the clos
