NEW YORK, Sept. 9.--kacing at
Sheepskead continued today in drench-
ing rain and over track fetlock deep in
mud. yet form was not out of order to a
great extent, as two fayorites. three sec
ond choices, and third choice landed
the money. The disagreeable weather
confined 1000 regulars to the stands and
betting rings, but it did not serve to
daimpcn the enthusiasm TO an appre-
however. and the fields, originally of alb
normal size, were consequently much re-
duced.
Added Starters Fail.
The Flight Stakes. of two-year- -olds
and upward, at seven furlongs down the
Futurity course. was the feature of the
day With such high-class horses as
Chuctununda. Dublin, Guntire and others
withdrawn. the talent went to Frank
Farrel's The Musketeer, an added start
down from evens to 7-to-10 favorite, w.
G. Whitney's. fast mare. Smoke, mean
while receding from threes to skies.
The Musketeer began so slowly that
he never had a chance to overhaul
Smoke, who broke in front, ran away
from her field at fast clip, and won
galloping by two lengths in 1:29 3-5.
Lerd Pepper, another added starter,
who was a 10-to-1 shot, clung to the
place, which he took by two lengths
from The Musketeer, who, hard-ridden,
beat Monte Carlo for third money by
neck. a.ssa.
Charawind Best Jumper.
The other stake event was the Mineoia
Hurdle Handicap. at two miles over
eight flights of hurdles, with ten start
ers. L. v. Bells Charawind, the favor
lite. had no trouble in winning, pulled
to a walk, by a length, in 3:57 2-5. with
Big Gun, the topweight and third choice,
just heading Thomas W. Lawsons Fe-
Joseph E, Widener's Star Chamber, who
was a heavily played second selection,
was last nearly all the way, and was a
big disappointment to his supporters.
His performance caused no end of ugly
talk
