day at Is to without betting dollar on her'
was fooled In a similar manner yesterday
when Genecho took the Lynbrook Handicap.
Tucker and his friends could not see now
james X. Keenes Augur could lose this race
and bet heavily on him straight. They played
Glenecho to show Just as life saver and theh
saw the colt gallop home. Nearly every
Handicapped at the track had a bet on Glen
echo. as they gave him royal chance IN
their calculations and took IS to at the
opening.
Jesse Lewisohn has decided to make his
own wagers in future. according to deciara-
ton yesterday. He has been relying on COM
missioners all the year, but inter one OF the
races yesterday he said to some friends'
Il am tired of getting to s for my money
when there is plenty of to I in the ring. ana
will bet my own money in future.
These methods have enabled several club-
house commissioners to invest money In real
estate. drive fast horses and live in luxury
stunder rdinary circumsta noes would have
been beyond their grasp. II Isl wonder that
many spectators have not taken a tumble to
the game before this.
The fact that the so-caled wise men do not
always have the right cue was illustrated yes

Cloverland, who ia blind in one eye. did not
see Mdshpman at the post and colided
with him as the barrier went up Redfern
put up a perfect ride on Cloverland, also on
Carbuncle. making up lot of ground by
clnging to the rail in, each instance at the
head of the stretch. Burns also rode two
winners in clever fashion.

Dave Johnson's cOors were twice in the
money. with Roseben. who was beaten neck
by Crown Prince in the third race, and with
South Trimble. who was third. two heads
back. in the second race. johnson stood
to win s25. 900 If Roseben had been successful,
while he had stiff wagers on South Trimble
place and show. Both horses were pur
chased by him at the Drake sale.
The clubhouse contingent backed Andrew
Millers Reyeille with supreme confidence
in the second race. Hildebrand had the
mount for change. and the colt showed
wonderful Improvement over his previous
race. Hldebrand said after the race
II could not have been beaten If had
not lost my whip at the head of the stretch"
Frank Farrell has been i'll and was not
at the track to see Champlain win. The
colt was backed at the last minute by some
clever persons who were not influenced by
other tips.

Bruce Rice. who rode for F.. r. Thomas
last year. had his kneecap broken in fall
at Jamaica yesterday morning.
II is evident that the trouble between
Jockey Martin and the Leeds Miller stable
has been patched up. as the boy rode Dazzle
in the Miller colors yesterday for the first
time in several weeks.
ALBERT Simons put in claim for D. j. Lees
Monacodor after the first race. paying q, 80.
Simons was represented In the event by Red
Ruler.
War Whoop was heavily backed to beat
Carbuncle in the last race and many of his
supporters thought that Travers was caught
mapping by Redfern When Carbuncle won,
a woman behind the press stand shrieked
Historically and then sank to her chair ex-
hausted.
