SEVEN FURLONGS
B*t
Ellie and Sais Fall at the Wire IN the

Results-one Fsvorite
Wins
BY Forest Lowry

The Santa Catalina selling stakes
with $1,000 added, the attraction at As
cot yesterday afternoon, went to Tim
Payne owned by II A. Bonsack. but
now the property of j. A. Weinberg.
Tim Payne ran to the best form he has
ever shown and negotiated the seven
fufIongs in the remarkably fast time of
12bts--a second lower than the best
previous time made for that distance
onsthe local track. ]. a. Weinberg was
right there after the race and ran the
winner up to S2100 and led him away.
Couldn't Give Him Away
Tim Payne was at one time owned by
j. L. M'Ginnes, who valued him at
about 5000. Connie. Stubenbord, owner
OF Ellie and several other good ones
now racing at the local track, could
have had Tim Payne year ago for
the mere asking, but did not think
enough of him to lead him away.
M'liinnes told Stubenbord that Payne
would make a good saddle horse and
pegged him to take him to his stable.
Stubenbord turned the gift down.
MGinnes was about ready to give up
IN despair and as last resort offered
Tim Payne for sale to the highest bid
der. Jimmy Blute bid 5000 for him and
M'Ginnes accepted the offer without
moments delay M'Ginnes said after
the transaction that he would have
taken s25 for Tim Payne. Blute raced
Payne around New York with fair sue
cess and then brought him to the Coast.
Bonsack took the horse out of a selling
race not long ago for, $1325 and won
the first. race he started him in. Bon
sack sent him to the post yesterday
inSithe Catalina Selling stakes which
heswon. He was entered to be sold for
$1,000 andrswas bid up $11O0 over his en-
tered price and led away by J. A.
Weinberg. -.
Ellie and Sais Fall
The Free Handicap for three-year-
olds and upward fifth on the card was
marred by a serious spill at the wire.
Sails and Ellie went down in heap i'm
mediately after the finish and both
hoses escaped without injury. Jockeys
Miller and Moriarity who had the
mounts on the fallen horses got off
unhurt Schoolmate was in measure
responsible for the accident and his
inclination to bear in caused the spill
Jockey Dugan, who had the mount on
Schoolmate,. was fined $3.50 for rough
riding, but the judges did not dfsqual-
ifyithe horse,
sg Both Horses Exhausted
Although the accident which befell
Sails and Ellie happened in full view
OF the judges and the crowded grand
stand, opinions vary as to the qreal
cause of the spill Judge Hamilton said
after the race that he thought Sails
swefved under the whip and inter-
fered with Ellie. The latter was fight
ing, his way through and when Sais
sweryed, oyer. crashed into him and
knocked him out of his stride Ellie
then fell over the fallen Sais. .-..--.-,..
Others are of the opinion that both
Sails and Ellie were all out at the
finish land that they both went down
from mere exhaustion. Both Ellie anG
sais were piloted by lightweight boys,
and under the grueling finish, which
begani at the head of the stretch, it is
small wonder that the quartet col
lapsed at the end. From the paddock
home the noses of the two horses
seemed to trail in the dust and it was
apparent that the boys were ready to
fall off from exhaustion
But One Favorite Wins
Helgerson, backed from 8 to to
even money, was the lone favorite to
get the money yesterday at Ascot. The
public had a hard time of it and their
selections went down to defeat with
sickening regularity. The card was the
best that has been presented since the
opening of the meeting, and in each
event the fields were we'll balanced
This may have had something to do
with the size of the crowd, as one of
the largest gatherings of the season
mingled in the betting ring. The thir-
teen books which did business had all
they could do to handle the money.
The first race on the card was for
four-year-olds and upwards, non-win-
ners of a race of $500 in value since
January /. 1904, a purse, over six fur
longs of ground. The winner of this
affair turned up in S. M. Williams bay
horse Requiter. He opened at 8 to
and receded to s to 1 at post time. In
terlude. the favorite. finished second
after leading for five and half fur
longs. Padua was third. Blissful,
Frank Mayo and Laura f. M. also
ran.
Ralph Reese in Front
Ralph Reese held in the chalks at
