NEW YORK. June 1.-The well known
colors of the Keenes were carried to vic
tory at Gravesend today by two horses
that were not seriously considered by
the big bettors and the students of rae
ing form. Tho winners were both two
year-olds. Injunction. chestnut colt by
ST. Leonards. captured the Manhanset
Stakes, with as much as 10 to / about
him. while Soothsayer, chestnut geld
ing by Horoscope. a 3Q-to-1 shot, took the
second event.
These two surprises were in line with
the general run OF events during the aft
ernoon. for in seven races only one ia
vorite won, and that was by narrow
margin.
Large fields prevailed, and to pick a
winner required unusual acumen. Even
the wise men were up in the air for a
greater part of the time, the bookmakers
reaping big harvest.
HurstbouTne Was Left.
The Manhanset Stakes, at five furloags,
was the feature, and though Fireater. At
.crney and pepper were scratched, the
held was good ono, as Cinquevalli. X l.
tanning, and Injunction were added start
ers. Sir VOORHEES, was n 13-to-5 favorite.
but there was a great play on Janeway,
! chostnut colt by Topgallant, who was
quoted 2. to in the opening figures
md hacked down steadily to 1G TO ;.
Sue Ribbon was backed literally at sew
.rs. while Napoleon was played at eights.
Thirteen youngsters went to the rost
s;c when the barrier went UP Julius
Fl ischmann's Hurstbourne was left.
B,ie Ribbon. who was a trine green.

hi. co-lfany with good speed and game
1oss. ;anewav was severely kicked by
In lnction at the post, got away slowly,
and was out CT it at an early stage.
Sir VOORHEES, Tired.
1t the top of the stretch Sir VOORHEES,
icc,-c3 like winner. but he tired in the
last sixteenth because Bullman had
huztled him too much Shaw then got
up with Injunction and in a hot drive
:ook the race by length. Sir VOORHEES,
held on TO the place and he was 4
length before Kittaning
Little Waugh. a stable boy, took
Soothsayer to the front in the second
race and he rode him like veteran.
4 hc rcce was selling affair for two
year-olds at five furlongs with fifteen
starters. the favorite being W. c. Whit
ney's Makcda, who was played down TO
threes. Dark Planet Hedge, and Ber-
nard were also played for good things.
Makeda led around the far turn and
well into the stretch. Then, as Sooth-
sayer and Bernard rushed up Cochran.
instead of subjecting Mr.. whitney's
flly TO the drive, sat still as If petri-
fed. and in a close finish Soothsayer got
the verdict by head, Bernard beating
Makeda by length.
Highlander a Surprise.
There was similar surprise in the
handicap at one and one-sixteenth
miles. Kamara was slight fayorite
over st. Finnan. the former closing al
3 TO /. and the latter at 16 TO :. Colonel
x.
was accordingly backed from tens to
eights. At the first turn Redfern wbip-
ped Colonel Bill into the lead with Him
self following clear up the backstretch

place all this time, O'Connor holding
him back for a rush down the home
stretch. When Himself began to lar.
o'Connor let Highlander down. Quick
as wink the colt overhauled Colonel
Bill and then they fought it out to the |
wire. where. in drive. Highlander won |
by thre parts OF a length Hermis
who made up lot OF ground in the last |
quarter. was third.
