furlongs In 20 Is. only one-fifth of a Sec
track, hung up by Invinceie on Saturday.
Invincible, by the way. wed form re-
Cochran rode him in his revious attempt,
whereas Travers had the feg up on Satur-
day. Cochran's ride on Nxford at Morris
Park has not been forgosen by racegoers
| mounts. Cochran has bfen riding in an
erratie manner all the yeap and some peo-
pie are inclined to charge his work to in
competence. But at that rev questions
earth other motives or at least clear the
boy of blame that has caused much I'm
pleasant talk around the racetrack.
One of the sensations OF the racing at
Aqueduct yesterday was the success of a
hitherto unknown Spectator named F. Will
son. He halls from Canada and has been
hustler and stable boy for several
years. He arrived here several days ago
and was taken in tow by Willie Shields,
trainer for E. r. Thomas Wilson was one
of the few who bet on Ocean Tide yester-
day; He bet 500 on the hily and won
So 600 by her victory. Then he went right
back to Thespian in the fifth race and won
81, 900 more. Elated at his success, he lost
no time in bidding Thespian from $780, the
entered selling price, up to $l.S0, at which
FLY for ]. B. Haggin, let her go to Wilson.
The latter hurried to the secretary's office
and paid cash for his new purchase out of
unkind enough to say that Wilson merely
represented Shields in the whole transac-
ton, but the Canadian denied the assertion
with much warmth
Jockey Hoar, who was in the employ OF
Frank Farrell last year, but who has been
riding with much success in Russia this
season, is on his way back to this country
to spend the winter. Both stables with
have been heavy winners OF stakes and
Hoar will return In the spring to ride for
them again. For first call on his services
he will receive $4,000, while second call
will net him $1,000 more.
Ed Graves and his friends cleaned up with
Fleur de Marie in the first race at Aqueduct
yesterday and so did Jesse Lewisohn.
Cairngorm was heavily played by the Paget
contingent but the losses were recovered
when Floralia won the last race. Frank
Taylor thought that King Cole had a
chance to beat Fleur de Marie and the
Hamburg colt was lowered in the prices to
II to 1.
Hildebrand rode both Fleur de Marie and
Floraia to victory. Lyme evidently VIII
have no more engagements from the Paget-
JOyner stable, as Shaw ana Hndepranu
wore the colors yesterday. Shaw, who has
not been doing much lately, rode winner
and two seconds.
Pirate Polly came to life IN the last race
at Aqueduct yesterday and showed some
thing of her Canadian form. She carried
good-sized bundle of checks this time, but
Floralia was too much for her. Nearly all
the trainers backed TheSpian, who was well
ridden by Archie Zimmer's clever appren-
tice, Schilling. w. H. Snyder believed that
Mimosa was ready to win the fourth race,
and his friends backed her down to sevens.
But she was short.
Matte Corbett had a good bet on The
Southerner, who was also backed by almost
every heavy player at the Aqueduct track.
Jack McGinnis tried to cut a melon with
Brooklynite q 25-to-1 shot, but after lead
ing for nearly mile the Ornament colt
chucked 1t up.
