Jamaica yesterday afternoon. James X.
Keene's Augur, who won the Tamaqua
handicap on Saturday, was hot favorite
at to 5, but he was knocked back in the
jostle just after the start, and never had
chance to win afterward. H. B. Duryea 8
Hearts Desire. who was in very light and
had Hildebrand in the saddle, went back in
the betting. She got off nicely, but dropped
to the rear quickly, showing a surprising
change in form over her victory in the

race.
Mr. Keenes Israelite was also an unsuc-
cessful fayorite in the handicap for three
year-olds at six furlOngs. He receded to II
to 10. while l.. V. Bells Crown Prince went
up from to 5 to 1S to 5. In the meantime
there was a heavy play on Dave Johnsons
Roseben. backed down to to I, and also
on Ancestor, lowered to skies. RoSeben
made the running right up to within
hundred yards of the wire, where Crown
Prince nailed him and beat him neck in
liz 2-5. Israelite. who was outrun from
the start, was third, under fierce drive,
half a length back.
R. T. Wilson, jr's Carbuncle was an odds
on favorite in the handicap at nine fur
longs. with War Whoop and old Ethics,
both well backed at to 2. War Whoop
showed the way from the start, and held a
slight advantage over Ethics at the head
of the stretch. But Redfern skinned the
rail with Carbuncle. and In drive he took
the race by a neck In 1.55 Is. War Whoop

through on the rail with Cloyerland, 5 to l.
Meanwhile Travers had rushed Stonewall to
the front at the last furiong pole. but Clo-
vedland hooked up with him. while The
Southerner was dangerous too. It was SO
close at the wire that the crowd had to
wait for the official verdict, which gave the
race to Cleveland by nose, Stonewall
beating The Southerner by scant half
length. The time was 2.08 2-6
