KEEN RACING AT JAMAICA
Bad NEWS LOSES STAKE.
The Catchogue Handicap a Loue
Feast for Sydney Paget.

big crowd enjoyed some spirited racing at
Jamaica yesterday and in the Indulgence Of the
sport, which never seems TO pail overlooked the
somewhat unfavorabe conditions for an after
noon in the open air. It a dull gray October
day with the chill of winter in the air. but this
and the fact that the hunt and steeplechase meet
at Morris Park was drawing card. had little or
no effect on the attendance. The fieldstand was
filled to overlooking and the grandstand and
clubhouse furnished accommoda tons for some
ten thousand persons. The programme was
good one. and the finishes in at least three of
the races were close enough to arouse that par
ticular enthusiasm and give those thrills which
racing folk revel in.
The Cutchogue and Southo,d handicaps were
the carded features. Jacobite won the Cutchogue
in a common gallop but the finish in the South
old of the hair raising kind, when Ceder-
strome. at the lucrative price of % to i, beat
the odds-on favorite, Bad News a head on the
post. While appauding the spirited finish all
else forgotten. but when the numbers had
gone up and the crowd getting its breath
the shock OF Cederstromes victory all but took
1t away again. A more startling form
sault has hardly been this season. and it
seemed to be worthy of official notice. Only
few days ago Bad News and Cederstrome met
at relatively the same difference in weights. Bad
News won cleverly, while Cederstrome brought
up a bad last, some ten lengths away, beaten
from the start. CederStrome was a different
horse yesterday and under we'll judged ride by
Miller turned the tables on his conqueror and
gave his followers rapturous joy and those who
had forsaken him cold and creeping chills.
The race. aside from the speculative end was
the feature of the day. Only five horses faced
the starter, but at least three of these five were
so close together at the weights that heads only
separated them at the end. The form players
could see nothing but Bad News, and he got the

Right had a following also. but Cederstronle
and Gold Rose were neglected, except by the
confirmed pickers, who are always looking and
hoping for the unex pected. The start prompt
and good, and Gold Rose rushed out into big

The Cutchogue Handicap was love feast for
Sydney FACET. He started Jacobite and Kinley-
dale and they ran first and second all the way
and so finished Security in spite of his dfspo-
sition TO run out, decided favorite, but
he disappointed again, although he ran true
enough. He was never better than fourth, and
the effort to place him disastrous
letting him free. Jacobfte, who must have
been short in his other start at the meeting,
fairly tiptoed his field and wen as if it was
only play for him to six furlongs In 1:13 35.
.-.nleydale was good second string, and, after
disposing of Inouisitor, able to stall off
the challenge of tie lightly" weighted Hermitage,
which good race after suffering from some
interference. Zienap and James Reddick never
f1attered their hackers and finished last and
next to last respectively.
The other winners were Frontenac, Grenade,
Athlone and Commune. The three last named
were the winning favori+es.
