0yerwOrked Racer Comes to
Grief in a Steeple-
chase Event.
Special Dispatch to III. Call.

CHICAGO, May 31.-Old Boney Boy
has at last broken down. This one
time good racehorse, owned by PA"
Bradley. has probably run his last race
No horse racing on the American turf
has faced the barrier more times than
this son of Blitzen-Sue b. For six
years he has raced over all kinds Of
tracks, in all conditions and in all
kinds Of weather Having practically
worn out his usefulness on the fiat.
Bradley sent him over the jumps, and
in the East this spring he stuck to his
task in these timber-topping events
just as he had done for four years on
the fiat and defeated some of the best
jumpers in the East.
To-day he made his first appearance
at the local tracks this season in the
short course steeplechase, the feature
Of the card at Hawthorne. Naturally,
out Of sentiment, he had a good follow
ing, and he took the first two obstacles
well UP. Then he stopped suddenly
Seaton dismounted and the old horse
iimped along on three legs. The left
fore underpin had given way and he
was plainly badly broken-down thor
oughbred. With him out of the way
the real contest was left to Itacatiara,
Handvice and Ceylon, and they finished
in that order
James Arthurs Bondage turned a
joke on the bettors in the third race
at one mile. Moharib, j. w. Schorr's
Kansas City Derby winner, was play
ed as if the race was all over. He was
backed from even money to to 5, but
second was the best he could do. Bond
age came on in the stretch and beat
him a length.
The track was slow, the weather
clear and the attendance good. Re-
