Garden City Handicap
at Harlem.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

| CBlCAGO, Aug. I-Aner1canO, Oh
| added starter. won the rich Garden
City handicap, the feature of the open
! ing of the Harlem summer meeting to-
day. Clifton Forge, the favorite, was
| second. and Gypzene, the extreme out
slider in the betting, was third. The
stake had a gross value of $3775, OF
which $3175 went to the winner, which
is owned by G. w. Baldwin & CO.
| 1t was a desperate finish between the
| first two, only a nose separating them.
| The Baldwin colt had the favorite
| pinned in on the rail all through the
| final eighth of mile, preventing
! Knapp using his whip to the best adj
vantage. and this probably cost Cliff
ton Forge the race. A claim Of foul
| was made by Knapp, but was not al
| lowed. The stake was riddled by
! scratches, but this was partially offset
| by three added starters-Americano
Big Ben and Beau Ormonde.
| Gypzene, at so to l, led her field to
the stretch bend, where Americana
| took command. Clifton Forge had
raced third to this point, and, coming
| through on the rail, hooked UP with
Americana at the final eighth pole and
the two had it out hammer and tongs
| to the wire. Gypzene had two lengths
to spare over Ananias for third place.
JOChcy I1eilIy was
| pended for a bad ride on Miss Inez.
Only two favorites won. The track was
a little slow, the weather clear and
warm and the attendance unusually
