money out of the ring at Brighton track
this afternoon. Dwyer backed his re-
cently-acquired three-year filly. Fe-
mosole, at IL to l in the first race and
cashed. Farrell had a heavy commits
sion on his two-year-old colt, Minotaur,
the favorite in the fifth race, and was
successful, getting . to for his money.
incidentally Femosole, who was pur-
chased by Dwyer at the McCafferty sale
on Saturday. equaled the track record
for six furlongs, established in 1900 by
James R. Keenes Voter, then a six
year-old, who carried 123 pounds.
Femesole's impost was 11S pounds, and
she won eased up by half dozen
lengths in 1:12 1-5. The event was
lightweight handicap for three-year-

favorite at to 2, Wealth going back

ond choice at 9 to 2. Belle of Lexing-
ton and Cuspidor were also played

Good Thing Wins Easily.
Daffodown Dilly rushed away in front

Feme sole passed him like a shot, and it
was all over Wealth, after tagging
back a greater part of the distance.
came fast in the last furlong and took
the place from Ben MacDhui by head,
the latter coming from nowhere, and
beating The Amazon head. Daffodown
Dilly was a neck behind.
Minotaur's victory was just as easy as
that of Femesole. He started in the
fifth race, a selling affair. for two-year-
olds, at thTee-quarters of mile, with
fifteen others. Martin took no chances
with him but rode him all the way, win
ming easily by five lengths.
Mike" Dwyer also cashed in this
race, when his colt, Cincinnatus, at 25
to l, ran into the place, a head before
Dark Planet. Is to l, who beat Birch
Broom a head.
Port Royals Narrow Escape.
Messrs. Keene's crack three-year-old,
Port Royal. had narrow escape from
defeat in the fourth event, at a mile and
a furiong. for horses of that age. Port
Royal was a to 10 favorite, with Gold
Cure at threes and Peninsula at 16 to ).
Port Royal found that he could not
make run away OF ii as soon as he left
the post, as Gold Cure clung to him
tenaciously and the Keene gelding led
by a neck for a mile. Then as he turn
ed into the stretch he swung wide, al
lowing Burns TO get the rail with Pc
ninsula. The latter. under the whip,
forced Shaw TO drive Port Royal for all
he was worth, the later reaching the
wire first three parts of length 10 the
good. Gold Cure was five lengths away.
