Though naturally not a Splinter. Ethy-
lene. Martin & Patton's good FLY. won the
six furlong handicap at Delmar yesterday
easily and in good time. She was Z 2-to-1
favorite. Ed L, the second horse, was
backed from 80 to l to 10 to l. He ran a
great race. Hilee. a Stool shot. was third.
The start was excellent. Ed L. at once
showed in front. Hiee and Miss Golightly
took turns I'm pacemaking. Ethylene. a
slow breaker and usually leEarthic at the
start. began slowly. hut in her easy stride.
While Hilee. Ed l.. hummer and Miss Co
lightly were fighting for the lead. she was
nicely placed behind the bunch. At the
three-eighths pole Hilee drew away two
lengths and looked like a winner. though
Ed l. was clamoring at his heels. Here
Bonner and Ethylene along. She came out
side Of the field. turned fast into the
stretch. and Won as she pleased. HiIee
stopped In the run home and was third. in
front of the consistent Drummer. Miss Co
lightly stopped 10 nothing.
1t vas a brilliant race for the FLY. who
was giving away pounds OF weight. and
who IS really not a sprinter in that she
cannot be thrown right down from any po-
sition and set Ia doing her best from the
start. She needs time to get into her
= stride, ard If once thrown out OF It finds
it hard to regain it. She has a beautiful.
frictionless stride, and IS really a mare
that should do well at distances over a
mile.
BEANA Is BADLY HANDLED.
The distance event went to orris. a 1O-to-1
shot. who beat Beana a head for first
money. Beana was off in front TO A good
start. with Orris second. Beana was GO
ing great guns. but Walsh, who was riding
her. seemed to be much afraid OF The
Boer. When he was in front and The Boer
behind, he was ever looking hack TO see
how far The Boer was from him. When
The Boer brushed by him, cut off Beana
and drew out for a lead Of five lengths,
Malsh seemed To give UP hope and let
Beana fan back to sixth place. The Boer
looked ike a winner until they struck the
stretch Then he began to back UP and
Orris got him. When Walsh saw that Or
RS could beat The Boer he took heart. be-
gan TO believe he could do so too, and sent
Beana along. too. She came the long way
INTO the stretch and overhauled Orris stride
Mr.. H. Ghio's mare ran a game race. and
just lasted long enough to win. II Beana
had been strongly ridden and taken the
snort way she could. not have lost. But
Walsh seemed to think that The Boer was
going to kill him from the way in which
he kept away from him going and coming.

teenths and getting beaten in slow time.
ness in the first race. He got a whining
in his stall and ran like a scared wolf. He
did 1:2S1z for his seven furlongs, which was
faster than such horses as Bengal ran il.
Annie Oldfeld and One More ran good races
here.
ICICLE WINS IN A ROMP.
Icicle won the third race in a romp. He
was cut of at the first turn, but was too
good. went around his field and breezed in.
Bengal, well ridden by Booker. beat GALES.
poorly ridden by Bonner. for the place in Il
drive. ~Icicle's time was no better than Rus
slams. and he is a $500 horse, where Rus
sian IS worth $500.
The fifth race went to Barklyite. who won
in a walk. Letter went well under Higgins,
but seemed to loaf and loiter in the stretch
run, and the favOrite won east Y.
Burnett's Walkaway won the second race
in a huge gallop. Hucena. the 9-to-I9 favor
lite. was not in the money. Walkawey was
as good as 10 to 1, led all the way and won
as he pleased. Cherished was second, Grey
Forge third. Hucena has evidently had
enough Of 1t.
w. w. Darden &c Co. ran up Bu-netts
Walkaway from $500 to Sl.OO. and bought
the horse for that sum. The same firm ran
up 1cicle from $1,000 to $500 after the third
race. E. ]. Arnold & Co. kept the horse.
