( NEW YORK, May 31.-After the i'm
Gravesend track was a place where
solid comfort could be enjoyed this af-
ternoon, although more than 10000 per-
sons were present. 1t was trifle chill
ly in the shade, and a small sized gale
blew up from the ocean, making fast
time almost impossible. However. the
victory Of VIC. whitrey's King Hanover
in the $4,000 Carlton Stakes. for three
year-olds. was won in the fast time OF
1:40 1-5. for the mile. King Hanover
from Burns. and conquered August Bel
nonts Masterman the winner of the
Belmont Stakes at Norris Park, by a
.scant length. Masterman beat King Han
over in the Belmont rather easily. To-
day he carried stake weight, 1e6 pounds,
and conceded eight pounds TO every
other horse in the race.
In the betting, the bookmakers placed
King Hanover, Masterman, and S. s
Browns Hyphen on an equal basis, the
post odds against each being II to 5. A
Featherstone's Ieliter and G. B. Nor
ris' Cunard were allowed to go up to
twelves
King Hanover in Front.
The start was coed. and quick as a
flash Burns rushed King Hanover into
the lead Mr.. Whitney's colt had the
.ail. and never let go Of it. odom made
Hyphen cling to the pacemaker SO close
~ going around the lower turn and into
the backstretch that the two Jockeys
seemed to be elbowing each other. On
the outside of Hyphen's flank was. Mas
terman, Bullman keeping tight hold on
Mr.. Belmont's colt.
Nearing the far turn, Hyphen made a
game attempt to wrest the lead from
King Hanover, but the Whitney colt
stalled him of, and came into the stretch
with what for the moment looked like a
commanding lead. So far. Burns had not
made move on King Hanover, except
to steady him. but when Strengthened out
for the run home the jockey had to ride
the Hanover colt bit, for Masterman
had been let down, and was coming like
a Kansas cyclone.
Hyphen's Strong Bid.
King Hanover increased his speed
1, but Masterman continued TO gain. Then
Burns went to the whip, Bullman sub
jecting Masterman TO similar treatment
Hyphen was doing his best to overhaul
the two leaders, and was not too far
away to be an impossibility as they
rushed past the betting ring. Burns
whip was kept busy clear up to the
wire, where King Hanover won lv q
length, and Masterman showed a length
and one-half before Hyphen. Some Deo-
pie were inclined to believe that master
man might have won with a better ride
but his good performance under the cir
eumstances again proved conclusivelH
that he is one of the best three year
olds in training.
