NEW YORK, April 1S.--Preen, winner OF
three races at Bennings, ftnished first
in the Arverre stake at n Aqueduct to-
day, For O. few moments, II was mat
ter of doubt as to whether he would be
permitted to retain the stake His rider,
Creamer, cut across from an outside po-
sitiotl, and in doing so. caused more or.
less interference to both czaraphinc and
Santa Catalina.
If the stewards had allowed a claim
many were ready to charge them with
inconsistency for not disqualifying Kehatl-
an from second place In the second event.
l<ehaalan swcrved over from the center
Us they nenred the last furlorg pole, threw
high wind against Waswift, and undoubt-
eddy interfered with both horses. Tie
rider OF IIlkhwind claimed foul. No
5oognizance was paid to the matter.
Preen's Arvernes victory netted his
owner, the Goughacre stable, $l,o7o. Santn
Catalina disappointed her admirers by
not running on straight and true. She
swervcd moro than once from tho whip !
Gallant a Winner.
William Lakeland was borne first past
the post In the sixth race on Gallant. He
made all tho running. At half the dis
lance 1t seemed that Goldsmith tn would be
q dangerous factor, for he gradually re-
duced the lead held by Gallant At six
.furlongs It was g close thing between
the two /. but Goldsmith began to falter
and new aspirant doomed up In Black
Prince, much improved colt. Under u
pa rti cularly vigorous whip, Black Prince
rapidly overheulad Gallant, who. how
ever, lasted long enough town BY half
a length Gold Coin won the first, race

forced to do his best to get Gold Coin
