NEW YORK, May 1. - Four favorites.
three of them ridden by George odom.
were victorious at Aqucduct today. II
was getaway day, but contrary to ex-
pectations the horses ran pretty close to
form. The track was in good condition.
and the beautiful weather drew out a
crowd of 5000 or more who had an en-
ioyable afternoon, all things considered.
With one exception the races all result
ed in driving finishes.
The Flushing Selling Stakes for three
years-ods and upward. at mile and
seventy yards. furnished the most excit-
ing race of the day. Ethics was scratch
ed. and Intrusive, with top weight III?
pounds. was made a hot favorite. Even
money was soon played to TO 10. Fatalist
was second choice at ives and there was
a liberia! play on The Puritan, Barbara
Frietchie. and Roystere,.
Fonsolrca Set the Pace
Cassidy sent the field away in splendid
order, and little Thompson promptly
rushed Fonsoluca. at 100 TO /. to the
front. The gelding had a world of speed
and sailed around the lower turn and up
the backstretch a length in front of
The Puritan. who had Roysterer at his
flank.
Odom t-ailed along with Intrusive to tho

would carry of the money fifty yards from
the wire. bat Odom rode Intrusive hard
and won on the post by neck.
Fonsoluca captured the place. a length
before Barbara Freitchie. who was head
before Roysterer. Infrusivc's victory was
the signal for ? loud demonstration from
his hackers. who cheered Odom to the
echo.
odom's Good Form.
Just previous to this race, Gdom had
ridden fine finish on. Ceryera. who has
been consistent breadwinner so far this
year. The gelding was installed fayorite

OF the fact that Cervera carried l2s
pounds. many went 10 MargraNi3te and
Eloim. When the barrier was released
Cervera, in spite of his impost. rushed to
the front and set a heartbreaking pace.
Margraviatc, however. was. also full OF
running and the two raced away by Them
selves. Petra II leading the others.
At the turn Cervera had secured two
lengths the best of Margrayiate, but
Landry cut the latter loose at the head
of the stretch ana for q moment il looked
as If Ceryera would lie beaten. Under
the whip however. he came strong and.

drive. Cervera won by half q length.
Meistersinger Took the Fifth.
odcms third victory was with Meister-
singer in the fifth race for beaten three
year-olds. at seven furloncs. The Wagner
colt was a 3 to faNorite, while heavy
commissions made Fried Krupp second
choice. Rrunp. with Brennan hustling
him along at top speed, led to the turn,
where the pace began to tell and ne
backed up.
Then Meistersinger, ShandOnfeld. and
Loclset got to him. and all were driving
in the stretch with the winner in doubt.
