ming Him to a Head.
The Williamsbridge Selling
Stakes Won by Rossignol
in Clever Style-Yelp, a
Good Thing, Wins.


"Guttenburg weather at Morris Park
today. and only the regulars turned out.
The track was fast, but cold, chilling
wind from the east made it impossible
for the spectators to sit still between
races.
An excellent card was originally pro-
vided, but the $1,000 handicap at mile
and three-sixteenths was cut to pieces.
Runnels, who gave away weight, was an
odds-on fayorite at 13 to 20, with good
play on Warranted for the place. They
ran one, two, though Lyme had to ride
Mr.. brakes colt with all of his skill to
win the race by head. The time was
2:o1, which beat the track record by
three-qu arters of second, the pre-
vious holder being the famous Sir Wal
ter. who hung up 2:01 "a with III
pounds in October, 1897.
The Williamsbridge Selling Stake for
three -year-olds and upward, at mile
and furlong, attracted good field to
the post. There was wild rush to play
Merito, Redfern up, and the mare, open
ing at 5 to 1, was quickly installed ia
vorite at II to 5. Rossignol, because lit
tie Waugh, an apprentice, had the
mount. went up to Z to 2. Zoroaster
was steady at 4 to /. while Carbuncle
and vincennes were both backed down.
Meritc just Too Late.
Carhuncle made the running. with Ros-
signol in attendance, to the head of the
stretch. when the latter drew away.
Then Redfern got to work on Merito,
but Waugh rode a clever finish on Ros-
signol, who beat the favorite by three
parts of a length in 1854. Carbuncle
was length behind.
Senator McCarren scored triumph
in the handicap for two-year-olds at
six and one-half furlongs. when Mackey
Dwyer carried his colors to victory. The
colt was coupled with Gold Money at
skies, Incubator being the talents first
choice at fours, with Astarita. Auries-
Vile. Short Hose, and Allen all in ia
vor. AS the final eighth pole was
reached Mackey Dwyer got up, and in
a sharp drive beat Short Hose length
in 1:2tA. Incubator barely got third
money by a head from Astarita.
Form was away off in the selling hur-
die race, at one and one-half miles, for
both Draughtsman and Seminole, the
first and second selections. ran disap-
pointingly, and could not get within the
money. Yelp, good thing, got to the
wire first, beating Templeton. also fan
cied by many, with Silver Twist GO to
II four length behind. The race was run
in 2:49, two seconds behind the track
record
Long Shot in Front.
John E. Madden's Merry Reel, the fa-
vorite in the fourth event, for maiden
two-year-old fillies, over the Eclipse
course, failed to land a pile of smart
money for the reason that Miladi Love,
a l5-to-1 shot, showed the way to the
wire, where she beat the Mirthful filly
by a length in Ell. Fading Light, rid
den by the midget Waugh, was length
and half behind, beating Zealotry, a
100-to-1 shot, by head.
olds, at mile, was considered "all in"
by the talent, as the Messrs. Sanfords
Ray, a 6-to-5 faverite. went TO the post
Odom took no chances and kept Ray in
front all the way, the Potomac filly win
ming in a drive by length over Pa
tronymic, who was length and a half
in front of Pretoria. With stronger
rider than Shea Patronymic might have
won. The mile was covered in 1:431s
