NEW YORK. July 2S.-The stewards Of
the Brighton Beach meeting called jock
ey Worderly before them after the sec
ond race today and asked him to explain
his palpably poor ride on the favorite,
Bessie Mccarthy. The race was selling
event, at mile and one-sixteenth, with
eleven starters. Bessie Mccarthy being
heavily played at 9 to .. hnimosity was
the second choice at to ., with liberal
betting on Choate at fves, Mosketo at
skies. Locne at sew rs, and Past at
eights.
Choate, with Cochran up, made the
running attended part Of the way by
Animosity and Golden Cottage. Then
Loone went after the leader at the seven
eighths pole, with Past closing rapidly.
Loone soon died away, however, and
Past, catching Choate in the stretch, got
to the wire a winner in a drive by
length, Choate. Hinsdale and Bessie Nc
Cartby following heads apart as named.
Filly Had No Speed.
Wonderly had the favorite far back in
the ruck though he got elf we'll. and ap-
pcared to take so little interest in her
that the stewards were compelled to
make inquiry. Wonderly, in explanation,
said that the flly had 10 speed and sim
ply could not get up with the leaders.
He also stated that he did not want TO
ride the flly anyway, and was warned
and informed that he did not have to ac-
cept the mount in future. Those who
saw the ride declared that Worderly was
fortunate in getting eff SO easily.
Three fav0rites wen for the talent, and
three outsiders took the other races. but
one of the latter, Maiden, who went TO
the post at ID to l. in the iifth race, en-
abled "Pittsburg Phil" and his friends to
cash some heavy commissions. Maiden
started with twelve other selling platers
over the six-furlong route. Cornwall was
the pick at I to D. with Ilium next in
favor at 9 to 2.
Maiden, ridden by Shaw, took the
track as soon as the barrier was re-
leased and was full of running. He was
never caught, though Cornwall put up a
plucky stern chase. Maiden won by q
half length, Cornwall finishing a length
before Oclawaho, 10 to ! shot. The time
was 1893 3-5.
Dwyer's Handicap.
The handicap at one mile and a fur
long furnished lively betting and
spectacular race. Dwyer's Francesca and
Ethics were coupled favcrites at II to'5.
played down from threes. Old Advance
Guard. packing 12S pounds, was the
original favorite at twos. but receded
to 13 to ). st. Ffnnan at fours. and
Sadie S. at ives, were also fancied By
many because OF their light weights.
At the word of command Sadie S. set
the pace ahead of Francesca for a half
mile and then slowly gave up the ghost.
Francesca raced on with a lead of
length over Advance Guard and Ethics,
heads apart, to the head of the stretch
Michaels took no chances after that
but proceeded to ride Francesca out to
the wire, where he defeated Advance
Guard by a length and a half in the
fast time of 1:51 3-5, two-fifths of a sec
ond slower than the best record for the
track, held jointly by Roehampton and
Watercure. Odom had to drive Advance
Guard with all his skill to take the
place from Ethics by a head. Cuspidor
and Sadie s., neck and neck, were five
lengths away.
