GETAWAY DAYIFAVORITES
FOUR YIN At 4QUEDUCT.
Close Of the Queens County Jockey
Clubs Spring Meet.

Getaway day. with its ancient traditions and its
s71-prises that sadden. was observed yesterday at
Aoueduct by throng that exceeded in numbers
IN zest, in assurance and spring millinery any
rrevious throng that has yet attended the meeting
of the Queens County Jockey Club And possibly
the most surprising feature Of the day the
almost total lack OF surprises The unexpected
which getaway day is always eXPected-did not
happen yesterday, except in instance. and even
then few. wiser than the rest and more fortunate
were not wholly unprepared. These few bore up
under the shock with amazing fortitude
None Of the performers that have taken
spicuous part in the racing Of the last days
displayed talents which had not been accredited
70 them. and there were no exhibitions Of re
versals In form" which required elaborate
plantations. The horses at Aqueduct. all things
considered have run amazingly true 70 form. and
for those who look forward TO the most successful
year IN the history Of the turf the beginning can
not be considered other than auspicious.
-Four favorites and a heavily supported second
choice won and the other winner was backed
down from u 70 in the opening quotations, TO 10
. at post time. she must be cassed as a good
thing rather than outsider.
The Queens County Handicap. for horses in the
older division at mile and seventy yards, with
s. 500 added. attracted nine Of the best thorough
h-eds that have in public this spring and
the contest between them before il was ended. was
worthy Of their calling. Yellow Tail. the strappng
rir Watercress horse. who grows fat on racing,
was made an even money favorite. with Senator
McCarren's aged geding Potente well played
second choice. FoxhaU P. Keene's St Leonards
colt Injunction and F. J. Lantry's Dr. Saylor car
-ted the hopes OF those who either believed that
Yellow Tail was all that his name implies or who
were impressed by the last performance Of the
F2ossfngton colt. The other contenders were Andy
Williams. the DAILY entry Himself and DAILY 81
lurisn and Par Excellence.
Following Father Bits invariable instructions

through his field at a rafting clip fought 1t out
