ANON AND NELSON FAST ROUNDING INTO SHAPE FOR COMING FIGHT
.BOOKMAKERS REAP A GOLDEN HARVEST
WHEN FLINDERS GALLOPS HOME FIRST
Plungers. Get Down Heavily
on Ismailian, Which
Runs Third.

BRIGHTON BEACH, July 22.-Ex-
ultant shouts from the bookmakers in
the main ring to-day hailed the victory
of Flinders in the last race. At least
100000 was taken from the pockets of
those who backed Ismalian. She fin
ished third, but even this position cost
the bookmakers a large amount. Early
in the day her trainer, Snapper.
Garrison, went to Messrs. Lewisohn,
Gideon and few others and asked
them to wager on his filly
Opening at 100 to 1, the odds steadily
shortened until at post time no better
than 6 to 1 was offered. At the start
the first to break the line was Lucy
Young, and for nearly three furlongs
she displayed great speed. Then she
was seen to be Stacking up. Flinders
passed her in the stretch as did half
a dozen others. Flinders won very
easily, Little Buttercup was second,
and Ismailian, the medium of the
heaviest plunge in years, was third and
coming fast through the stretch.
Messrs. Gideon and Lewisohn and
their immediate friends, however, sue
cessfully backed one winner during the
day. This was Escutcheon, owned by
Mr.. Gideon and ridden by H. Cochran,
who, the moment the barrier was raised
began to fog his mount, cutting
dfagonally across the track and to
some extent intimidating the jockeys
on the inside. Escutcheon went on in
front and was never headed. Summary:
