GRAVESEND RACES.
Cairngorm Captured Carlton Stakes in
Easy Style

Gloomy weather and the natural falling
off in attendance following a holiday
seemed to restrict the crowd at Grave
send track yesterday to the regulars, 10
per cent of whom were patrons of the
field. In all but one race the fields were
large, which provided plenty of specula-
ton as to the winners. The Carlton stakes
for three year -olds, at a mile, further
demonstrated the sterling quality of Sgd
ney Pagets Cairngorm, who has been a
hard horse to beat under all sorts of con-
ditions. all the spring. In the Carlton,
for which he was an odds favorite,
Cairngorm met Andrew Miller's Merry
Lark, ID to .; James r. keene's Van
Tronlp. 5 to /, and K. t. Wilson, jr. s,
Sparkling Star. II to 1. They carried even
weights, but Cairngorm. under wraps, ran
the others into the ground by setting the
pace from the start. Won Tromp, who
was widely touted, stopped early, but
Merry Lark made a bid in the middle of
the stretch. which caused Davis to shake
un the favorite long enough to win easily
by two lengths and a half in 141 3-5.
Merry Lark finished second, five lengths
before Sparkling Star.
Newton Bennington won two races the
first with Green Room and the fifth with
Sidney F. Green Room was Is to ) sec
ond choice In big field of two-year olds,
who met in a fiVe-furlong sprint, with w.
]. Hardng's Klingsor. a hot favorite at s
to 5. Klingsor was shut in at the start
and never had a look-in while Green
Room quickly made a show of the rest
and won all the way, romping home four
lengths before the Delaware stables Cas-
SIM. $50 to 1 shot, who was six lengths
before Sydney Paget's Montanus, 3 to l.
The time was 1.01.
Sidney F., heavily backed favorite at
ii to D, was victorious over another big
bunch of two-year- olds who ran five fur
longs. ONeil put him under n hard drive
after Rapid Transit the early pacemaker
had bOlted and the Re0nipcrtnD
the long end of the purse by length
from Woodford Clay's Confederate 20 to
l. The latter finished a head before Kan
sas Prices Belden, II to J. with E E.
Smathers Panic nose out of the money.
The time was 1.01 40.
Lady Amelia. with 11S pounds on her
back. showed a startling form reversal In
the handicap at about six furlongs. She
was backed down from 10 to l to to =,
and. with Redeem up, she tow-roped the
others all the way to the wire, where she
was an easy winner by a couple of lengths
in Ito. Toscan. 10 to l. with 126 pounds,
stood long, fierce drive from Bullman,
and ran second, a length before Big Ben,
backed down to fours. Wotan and Gold
smith, both good things, were not far
away.
Oarsman, backed down to to 1. after
following Atwood's pacemaking for
nearly three quarters of g. mile, went to
the front, and, under a fierce drive, won
the third event at mile and sixteenth
from NJ. l.. Hayman's De Reszeke, the ia
vorite, by a nose Joe YeagerS Canteen,
Z to 1. was third length away. and the
same distance before Chimney Sweep and
Onatas. Ocean Tide, backed down to 6 to
1, was in receipt of slipshod ride from
Shaw, who took the overland route from
the outset. The time was LAT 2-5.
Jockey Nicol was caught mapping on
James r. Keenes Masaniello. the favorite
in the last race, for maidens, at about six
furlongs. He had good lead at the six
teenth pole, but did not see Willie
Knapps rush with Colossal, to 1, until
the latter was right on top of him. Then
Nicol went to the whip, but Colossal won
by nostril in the last jump in Ill 3-5.
John Boden's My Buela to /. was third.
