that has been getting more and more COM
mon this year. If this kind Of thing goes on
much longer 1t will be the particular DUST
| ness of the National Hunt and Steeplecnase
| Associa ton to take stern steps to rescue
| the sport which Is carried on under their
auspices from utter ridicule and ruin IN tnis
country.
There is no doubt that the low fences al
| lowed at Gravesend are one cause OF the
| bad and careless jumping that has become
so common. The jumps are so low that
riders seem to think horses can step over
| them. but they do not give. as hurdles &C.
and the jumpers come to grief
Three horses went down at the very frst
jump yesterday. Eophone, the favorite, fall
ing first and bringing Decameron and Sam
Devere with him. Decameron fell upon
Houlihan. but the soft turf saved the rider
from injury, though he had to have help be-
fore he could extricate himself from under
the horse. After that Ferocious fell at the
Liverpool. and Coley carried Glenvarloch
out at one of the jumps. AS result of all
this hippodrome, the race was won by How
ard Gratz, 80 to l shot, Marylan being
beaten half a length In a drive. Cock Robin
and Coley numbered in after awhile, and In
the course Of time the loose horses were all
rounded up, and the dismounted jockeys
CARRIED in In the starters wagon. That no.
body was seriously hurt was due to chance
only, and not to good management. The
sort of racing that was furnished in this
steeplechase was farcical and of the sort to
make steepfechasing byword.
OConnor's plumbers still continue. Yes
terday he had the mount on August Bel
mont's Fire Eeater. This colt was left at
the post the last time out, but would surely
have won yesterday with fairly good ride
He had good lead far as the near turn
when O'Connor took him half way out to
the outer rail and let Incubator and Bou-
tonniere up on the inside. This mistake cost
the Belmont colt the race. as he was beaten
only two heads by Boutonniere and head
by Incubator.
Lady Albercraft again emphasized the
foolishness of paying twice as much for
BensonhurSt as for her. She won the Al
geria stakes by a length from Durazzo
breaking with W. r. Condor and Cinque-
valli and running them into the ground so
thoroughly that only one Of them finished in
the money. Lady Albercraft Is increasing
the reputation of her sire for getting mud

a steeplechase ever run in this country was
run at Gravesend yesterday. 1t was sell

these six fell or refused or threw their
riders, although one of the latter remounted

Jockey Piggott to Ride for Tom HAYES

married. is visiting friends in Washington
He has just signed a contract with Tom p
Hayes. the western horseman, dating from
October Is until April IL. Joe has been
riding in Russia, and reports great sue
cess on the tracks Of that country. He will
leave Washington for st. Louis on the 18th
of next month and will probably come east
to the Benning fall meeting with the Hayes
stable. After the Benning meeting Piggott
goes to San Francisco for the winter.
Frisco is Joes home, and he says he will
be glad to see the old place once again. 1t
Is more than probable that Piggott will be
connected with one of the big racing sta
bles of the east next summer, as negotia-
lions to that end have already been started.

citation.

exception Of President Robertson. have all
arrived at the club. prepared to take charge
of the tournament.
Nearly all of the contestants played over
the course yesterday. but 1t was more to
familiarize themselves with the different
holes than with any idea OF score. With
two exceptions, players used the new rub
ber-illed ball, and drives of 40, $50 and
even 200 yards became common.
The different players have been paired
and the first two started at 10 o'clock this
morning. other pairs following at f1ve-min-
ute intervals. The committee will endeavor
to keep the contestants on their time sched-
ule. The first pair to start was Mrs. r. j.
Batchelder of the Weston Golf Club, Wes-
ton, Mass, and Mrs. Hermann A. Lewis of
the Philadelphia Cricket Club. The only
withdrawal among the prominent players
has been that of Miss Frances G. Griscom,
who entered from the Merton Cricket Club,
Philadelphia. Miss Griscom won the cham
pionship at Shinnecock Hills in 1900.

MiIdred's Apology.

Mildred is just at the age Of fire wor-
ship, says the New York Post. She
simply adores matches, especially the
fat headed, crackly ones. Mildred wor-
ships il secret, as other devotees have
worshiped beforehand mamma is not
the high priestess. She is the destroy
ing angel who swoops down, eXtin-
guishes the altar fires and administers
a sound slap. Mildred had visitor the
other day, a proselyte, and as soon as
mamma went downstairs Miss Six
Years Old lighted the fires. This con-
sisted in striking matches and throw
ing them out upon the roof of the piaz-
"a, where they burned amazingly well
on the shingles. With rare forethought
both Mildred and the young visitor
varied the devotional exercises by toss
ing tumblerfuls of water upon the
blazing matchsticks.
Suddenly mamma swooped down, IN
accordance with age old custom, ad-
ministered the aforesaid slap, and Miss
Mildred had her meager supper in bed.
Next day she was hidden to apologize
for her misbehavior, and this she did,
saying:
"1'm afraid I made a great mistake
in having Catherine here yesterday.
I'm sorry she came"
