When the amateur riders have a race all to them
selves it is likely TO prove extremely dverting The
running of the Stirrup Cup at Sheepshead Bay
yesterday afternoon was no exception. AS sport
ing spectacle it was all that its name implies Only
horses ridden by gentleman Jockeys" who hol0
certificates from some master of the foxhounds are
eligible 1t is over the full steeplechase course.
There were seven gentlemen jockeys" in yes
terdays performance-that is, there when II
started; at the finish there four, and two of
these had been thrown once each Mr.. Kelly rode
the Queen City Stables aged gelding Higbe, 167
pounds. Mr.. Holloway had the mount Thomas
Hitchcock, jr.'s, Tankard, l57 pounds. Mr.. Cham
blets Adjidaumo, $50 pounds, was ridden by Mr.
Page; w. c. Hayess Hark Forward, 154 pounds, by
Mr.. Harris; Samuel Wiletts Howard Gratz. 14S
pounds, by Mr.. Evans: Charles Pfzer's Perion, 147
pounds, by Mr.. Wimerding, and Mr.. Batjer's
Meadow Lark. 145 pounds, by Mr.. Batter. Howard
Gratz carried two pounds over, Perion fourteen
and Meadow Lark three over.
The first journey around the course not
marked by anything more extraordinary than Mr.
Batjers rather frantic attempts to stop his horse
He was ridden in curb and snappe, but it re-
quired all his owners horsemanship to pull him
10 walk and retire from the contest. Just why
he changed his mind not made clear.
At the second jump in the back field Hark For
ward came a nasty cropper and Mr.. Harris
thrown directly under his mount. His collarbone
was broken, and he had to be helped from the field.
While this happening. Higbie, Tankard and
Adjdaumo were hard at it, first one leading and
then the other. The Hitchcock horse however was
getting by far the best ride. Mr.. Holloway
seemed in better form than either Mr.. Page Mr.
Kelly.
When Higbie suddenly turned turtle at the Liv-
| erpool the spectators naturally were inclined to
eliminate him from the contest. Mr. Evans thought
differently, and although his field had left him
| behind, he remounted and gave chase At the
same jump Perion bolted, and Mr.. Wilmerding
pulled him up. Going around the upper turn for
the last time, Mr. Holloway and Mr.. Page gradual
ly drew away from Mr.. Kelly, and Mr.. Holloway
in turn left Mr.. Page after the last jump and won
a rather hollow victory.
Both Tankard and Adjdaumo had passed the last
post before the real for the cup began Howard
Gratz fell at the last jump. and before Mr.. Evans
could pull himself together and Highbie
who until then had seemed hopelessly out of 1t,
came along and passed him. When Mr.. Evans
finally got his bearings he sail for Higbie and
catching him hundred yards from the wire, the
two had a red hot battle for third place Mr..
Evans finally got it. amid tremendous cheering, by
