THE RACETRACK.
IMP WINS AMID GREAT APPLAUSE
WATERCOLOR ALSO FINISHES
IN FRONT.


eran black mare Imp, who captured the handicap
| in impressive fashion. Early in the season the
| announcement made that Imp had been
| tired for good and that she would not be seen
| the racetrack again. Her handlers, however,
| Harness and Wimmer-changed their minds and
the veteran racing machine. whose popularity with
| the racegoing public has always been most mani
| fest. was sent to the post again. but hardly did
| herself Justice
Yesterday Imp was allowed in the handicap for
| three-year-olds and upward with only 1O9 pounds
| on her back and with Shaw holding the reins.
Decanter. the slow beginner. the favorite, his
| opening price being to 8. quickly backed down
TO to Imp's price at the opening quotations
| to l, but sentiment carried this down to to 2.
This afterward reacted TO to 2 as the majority
of the spectators could see nothing except the er-
| ratio Decanter Hammock was the only entry to
| decline the issue
The five were sent away in good order and Shaw
at once sent Imp away in the lead. where the aged
| mare likes to run. and position in which she
| generally does her best. ST. Finnan also in
| winning humor. and the lively pace
| throughout. Imp always had a little the best of
the argument. and. finishing amid the frantic ap-
| plause OF the spectators, won by about half
| length from St. Finnan. Decanter showed a dis
| position to leave the post in better order than
| usual but he could never get anywhere near Imp
and St. Finnan. finishing in third place, fully three
| lengths back OF the pair. The band played My
Coal Black Lady and the attendants in the inheId
| danced in their joy at the victory of the black
! sentiment in the average racegoer as any animal
| on the turf.
Only three went to the post for the Fourth

Tom Kenny. Watercolor whose glossy sides fairly
| shone In the bright autumn sunlight was
| pauded as he paraded past the stand. This
| son Of Watercress IS of the beauties of the
| turf and he seemed TO realize 1t as he cantered

Watercolor took the lead at the flag fall, shaking
! off Dublin in ,he first half furlong He sailed
| along his leisure after that and rather
| easily by lengths. The uespised Tom Kenny
surprised many by disputing the place honors with
| Dublin and securing them by half length. Those
who had wagered So to win 81 on Dublin to secure
! the place came to the conclusion that they needed
a guardian to look after their financial affairs N
