Jockey Beauchamp. who has been vari-
ously called Bowcamp. Beycamp and Bow
sam and who p~ronounces his own nams
Beecham-laid violent and "burglarious"
hands upon two horse races that did not
belong TO him yesterday.
He won the second race with ]. Sidney
Walker by sneaking Up on the rail while
Flying Girl. Lady Gallantry and Seize were
swinging wide on the outside. He took the
fifth race In the same way with A. D. Glib
son.
Gallantrie, Ogle and a few others had
Gibson beaten TO death. He was slow to
begin and was not in his stride at any time,
even II he did tie the track record for the
distance. No matter how fast he was, he
had no business winning from last place
in a field of seven, when they turned into
the stretch. But Walsh took Ogle to the
outside and Gallantrie went with him.
Beauchamp took the good going. the short
way and won. With good boys in front Of
him he could not have won. unless A. d.
Gibson had wings to carry him over the
heads OF the field, which should have been
punched in front Of him.
The chief feature about the Fair Grounds
races Is the incapability of the boys riding
there. They were bad enough last year,
but their worst last year was nothing TO

not speak of them.
They steamed old Joe Doughty up yester-
day. clapped a hood on him, threw Domin-

He had neither steam, hood Dominick nor
blessing when last out and he ran last.

Tnere was nothing stirring on Eloim In this
race. Some other time there may be some
thing occurring here.
You heard how lucky Mr.. A. d. Gibson
was to win his race. He had to take the
eoft dirt IN the track center in the first
quarter. That anchored him. He fell pack
behind his fed. Luckily the boys in front
gould not hold their horses close to the
fence and B~eauchamp swinging in with Glib

was bet on him. ~
