A fair card and a bright Indian summerlike
day attracted a good sized crowd TO the Bel

only fixture on the programme, and in winning
made new track record Of ITO 40 for the SIX
fEriongs straightaway, while Roseben made
new mark Of 1:25 10 for the seven furlong
Journey which was within one-ffth of second
Of the worlds record for the distance on
circular track, made at Saratoga in 1902 by The
Nfusketeer
The fast times were not the only features OF
the days racing, however. close, stirring
finishes were the rule which kept the onlookers
on their feet most of the time Even in the three
horse race, won galloping by Roseben. the two
aother starters. Chimney Sweep and Monet. had
8 long gruelling. head and head drive through
the stretch. which only ended in the last stride
when Burns. outriding little B. Smith, got Chin
ney Sweep home by narrow margin.
The Rancho del Paso Stakes. for two-year-olds
was run as the fourth race. Brookdale Nymph
-qas always the favorfte, but Kfnleydale had
strong and confident following. which forced his
price from to 1 to to 1. After Waterwing.
Sly Ben and Arklirta were scratched and
Hooray added, seven youngsters went to the
barrier. The start was prompt and good for all
hut Kinleydale which propped himself as usual
and was pra ctically left at the post. Brookdale
Nynph was lways in the van. but, to the loudly
expressed distress OF those who had backed her.
SHAW seemed to be riding her hard TO keep her
nm lust at the end, however. she drew away
ana won nv a comfortable margin, while Oak
Duke and AtaIs te which had been the con-
tenders throughout, fought for secondary non
ors which went to the former.
) The steeplechase at about three miles. fur
,oished a pretty "a. ce but doleful ending for
those who had pinn ed their faith and their dol
lars to the favorite, Ruths Rather. These had
sFlnnegan to thank 1or defeat. as his oNercoh-
sadence allowed Mr. stone 10 pr1ng uR
with q rattle and steal the race. Buck O'DoWd
and Bonfire forced the pace for turn and a
half of the field, when the first named came 10
grief at the Liverpool. Ruth's Rather, which
had been rating along in third place, then moved
1,p ia Bonfire and led around the far turn
ana over the last Jump. Finnegan, who had
the mount seemed to think that he had killed
off all opposition, and was taking matters easy
when Mr. Stone brought 6a1lSeNooIl up WIN d

Rather fully extended again the race was over.
Bonfire was firing through the last half mile, but
lasted long enough to beat Woolgatherer for
the consolation end of the purse

left in the stable. Roseben opened UP a gap
IN the firsE half mile of ten or twelve lengths,
and cameS sailing down the stretch all alone.
If there h3d been anything in the race TO force
him out he could have added the seven furlong
worlds record to his credit
The other winners were Bella Signora. which
beat Maid OF Timbuctoo a head; Third Alarm,
which got UP in time to earn the verdict by a
head from Elevation, and Knight Errant, whose
margin at the end over Louis H. was small
that it took the judges to separate them.
