! fornia raeehorse. Alexander Shields's Andy Will
iams 126 pounds; w. S Fanshawe's Heno. l2S; the
Hampton Stables Africander. 100; John W. Schorr's
| Rightful. 109 and Toxhan P. Keene's Injunction
! 100.
The Montague was run over the full of
and one-sixteenth miles, and worth about
! $1,000 The stake afforded Yellow Tail the only
share of racing luck" he has enjoyed since being
shipped here from Bennings. Not only did he have
clear sailing all the way. but Africander, I'M
doubtedly his most formidable rival had more
than his share of i'll luck. The way in which
Yellow Tail awaited himself of his opportunities
showed him to be horse of more class than some
of his critics have accorded him. With Injunction
showing the way for almost the entire journey, the
Watercress horse never permitted more than
couple of lengths to separate him from the leader,
and when, sixteenth Of mile from home. Water
bury drew his whip. he overhauled the leader in
few Jumps and running straight and strong passed
him and by a length. with something to spare.
Africander. the to 5 favorte, in the mean time
having trouble. He had the best Of the
start, ana trailing along with the stragglers
around the lower and into the backstretcn,
and when Shaw finally decided it was time to be
up and doing pullman, on Righfui, crossed IN
front of him and he had to take him UP sharply.
The colt came in again with plenty of speed APP
parently, only to be into a pocket Just before
the stretch was reached. The leaders had opened
up a big gap while all this happening. and
when Shaw at last found a way out the best he
could do was to finish third. On Saturday, when
Injunction the Kings County Handicap in
good deal the manner of a high class stake horse,
Cannon took him back early in the race. and
never worried or hurried him. Yesterday he
slapped his heels into him the second the flag fell
and rushed him out in front The result would
seem to prove that Saturdays method Of handling
this high tempered thoroughbred was preferable
The altogether false price of 30 TO was quoted
against the winner
The only successful favorites Of the afternoon
were Frank Farrells three year old colt Colonist
and Father Biz Days Ilyria. Coonist was
graduated from the maiden class after galloping
a mile and seventy yards in company with five
other maidens. Black Hussar ran second to him, |
and Sir Roche third niyria had only Royal Pirate |
and Hackensack to beat. and never had to extend |
himself
A L. Aste's Flagstaff two-year-oId half Brother |
Of Afrcander, showed himself pretty shifty |
youngster in the second race coming from the |
ruck in the last sixteenth and winning from Miss |
Nancy four others of rather cheaper va |
riety. Flagstaff played from to to to l, |
and his owners and few well known spectators |
thousands of dollars on his victory. After the
race Il F. Meyer the ownsP s 91 MISS Nancy pd
