( FOUR FAV0RITES WIN.
GO BETWEEN BEATEN.
Runs Last in Handicap Won by
Colonial Girl.

A fair sized crowd in attendance at the
Brighton Beach race track yesterday in spite
pf the fact that the card was of the overnight
order and not particularly attractive. The rao-
ing, however. was quite up to the standard and,
as IL TO make up for the downfall Of six favor
ttes Thursday. four first choices were home
sn front lsmailian and Runnels were the only
ones 10 disappoint. In the absence of any stake
fixtures. handicap at one mile and furlong
was the feature Of the programme In this
Colonial Girl. the conqueror of Hermis in the
Worlds Fair Handicap last year. Go Between,
Merry Lark and Gamara accepted the weights.
Colonial Girl was a lukewarm favorite over
Merry Lark and GO Between. with Gamara the
outsider.
When the barrier was released Hildebrand
took Merry Lark out 10 make the running, but,
contrary TO his usual custom. Go Between was
nodding at his side and. under gentle restraint,
raced along with the Jim Gore colt in the run
around the paddock turn and up the back
stretch. Colonial Girl was galloping along some
swo lengths back. AS they approached the
eeven furlong pole Booker moved up with the
1deddler mare on the outside, and all three made
The far turn head and head. Colonial Girl bore
sn slightly ana Go Between. which in the
middle. was pinched out. This seemed to dis
courage the little horse. and instead OF coming
and actually pulled UP last. In the mean time
Colonial Girl quickly disposed OF Merry Lark
and won with something in reserve. while Merry
Lark had 10 be ridden out to Withstand Ga
nara's belated run.
Hildebrand, who rode Merry Lark went into
the stand and made claim Of foul against
Booker. The stewards properly dismissed It,
however. as Co Between was the sufferer from
what little crowding there was. and any claim
that might be entertained must have come from
Lyme. The stewards warned Booker, however,
20 use more care in the future.
The winning favorites were Ala Russell, Rose
of Dawn, Colonial Girl and Yankee Consul. All
four raced TO easy victory. st. Estephe was
heavily supported TO beat Ala Russell in the
second race. but the latter fairly spurned her
81 company. and was so far In front in the first
quarter that her followers sat back in COM
llete confidence and hardly took the trouble TO
''root'' her home. 1t was the same way in the
third race, in which Rose OF Dawn galloped
home as she pleased and the last race, in which
Yankee Consul fairly romped under the wire:
In tho last race, easily by Yankee
Consul. Kings Daughter was the whispered
good thing from clubhouse TO free field.
Opening at TO l. she was heavily sup
hard TO find better than Z TO 8. She showed
little 10 hatter her army Of followers when IL
came 20 racing, however. For few strides.
and only few, she kept pace with Yankee
consul and then she was content 10 follow his
footsteps but so far back that all could see
she was hopeessly beaten.
Runnels for the second time this year ran a
disappointing race. He seemed TO fairly out
class the field he met in the fifth race, at one
mile and a sixteenth, and was always at odds
on Flanmuia outran him for six furlongs. and
when he began 20 wear her down The Southerner
and Champlain challenged from behind ana ne
rave up The Southerner ran of his good
races coming from far back and closing with
q well timed rush.
