NEW YORK. Sept. 3o.-Three favorites
and three second choices took the races
at Gravesend today. The track was still
slow. though much faster than on Mon
day. Still, the first three races were
out to pieces.
The Bay Shore Stakes, for three-year-
olds and upward. at about six furlongs,
was reduced to farcical contest. There
were only three starters. eight being
scratched. The Musketeer. prohibitive
favorite. simply galloped from post to
wire. finishing eased up length before
John A. brakes Conundrum, with Bel
lario four lengths back. The time was
Ill 3-5.
IN the handicap for threeyear- olds,
four to go. Sombrero. the favorite. lead
all the way, but was forced into drive
in the last sixteenth, winning by head
from Andy Williams, third choice, with
Dom Paul. second in favor, five lengths
behind. francesca, recently purchased
. Qy II. DULL W0c locts AS tlAC W dc
las 2-5.
Favorite Finishes Last.
Parisienne, the odds-on favorite In the
handicap for two-year-olds. at about six
furlongs, stopped to nothing at the head
OF the stretch. Interval. the pacemaker,
was then overhauled by the Western colt,
Oletiant, second choice, who beat the
Fonso filiy by half a length in clever
fashion, in 1:12. SQuid, the rank out
slider. was third, FIVE lengths away, with
the favorite last.
A big disappointment was the per-
formance of King Pepper in the fourth
event, selling race, at about six fur
longs. The Kantaka gelding was backed
down from evens TO to 10, but after
showing in front for half a mile, he was
passed by Stuyve, second choice, and
oclawaha. ~ 20-to-1 shot. the former
winning in drive by two lengths, with
Oclawaha three parts Of length before
the fayorite, who barely took third
money from Maiden by neck. The race
was run in Iii 2-5.
st. FInnan Scores at Last.
Mike Clancy's St. Finnan was dropped
into soft spot in the fifth race, for
beaten horses. at mile and a sixteenth.
The Tammany gelding was accordingly
made favorite at IL to 5, and galloped
home with the monev length before
J. e. Madden's Star OF the West, who
was not only bumped all through the
race, but was also badly ridden by Red
fern. The Black Scot ran good race,
and was only length behind. The win
'ner's time was / so 3-5.
The last race. a selling event for two
year -olds, at about six furlongs, was
very open, as far as the betting was con-
'cerned. Examiner. the 4 to / favorite,
was nowhere. Claude. second choice,
got the verdict by head from Sheriff
Bell, who was length and half better
than j. E. Madden's Witful, 10 to 1, with
Lord Turco a neck behind. with Scoffer
beaten head. Time, LIP 3-5.
