SPECIAL LICENSE WINS.
Ne10-YOrk ProUides Surprise an a
Handicap.

The form players had BETTER luck at Jamaica
yesterday than usually attends their efforts on
a getaway day, and succeeded in hitting upon
three winning favorites in almost as many races
With an equal start 1t is quite likely they would
have made it four straight with Leonard Joe
Hayman their choice for the Suffolk Stakes, a
selling affair for the youngsters az four and
half furlOngs. The Linden geliing, however,
standing sideways when Mr.. Cassidy sent
the field away, and, although little Johnny Kelly
rode good race on him, he never able to
overhaul Special License or Veribest, and had
TO be content with third place.
The field for the Suffolk was composed of nine
second class youngsters, and of these Special
License. one OF the present crop of St Leonards,
little thought of that 10 to l could be
had against his chances. He gave Pudding
Mcdaniel chance to refute the theory that he
is of little use in a race except on free run
ming horse. The colt apparently not con-
sumed with an overwhelming ambition to win
the stake and Mcdaniel had to ride him from
start to finish. The boy used his whip all
through the stretch and kept his mount going
long enough TO beat Veribest scant half length.
The Russell FLY was quoted at 30 to in the
market, and the stable boy, Diggins who rode
her sustained his reputation as rider of long
shots. II will be remembered that it he

Kansas" Price and Burns threatened to have
early in the afternoon, field day between them
In the first race the Californian started his good
platter ARABIC and I Burns up and in the sec
ond he gave him the mount his other sue
cessful platter, Uncle Urigh Burns brought them
both home in front, but he earned his passage
on both mounts.
ARABIC was the favorite for three-quarter
p n do, [iS
derful ability TO get away from the post and OBJ
tanned advantage of half dozen lengths in
the first furlong. ARABIC was in tight place be-
hind Chimney Sweep, and it did not look as
though Burns would ever find clear sailing. His
attempt to go through on the rail at the head
of the stretch foiled, and he compelled
to pull up and go around. From there on it was
a terrific drive between the little Tristan horse
and the Zig of Nomad, and It was only in
the last stride that the latter succeeded in get
ting an eyewinker in front. Chimney Sweep
beat the rest
Uncle Urigh also the choice of the public
in another selling affair at a mile and seventy
yards. Burns placed him behind sails and Con-
sideratiOn, and, after these two had raced them
| selves into the ground, he went to the whip and
| won, going away, by half a length from Incu-
| bator, which Baird had trailed for three-quar-
| tiers of a mile. Even money was the best that
could be obtained against the winner
With 11S pounds up, Orthodox was chosen to
| beat quartet of useful performers in a handi-
! cap at a mile and seventy yards, for no other
| reason, apparently, than the paddock informa-
ton that the Don de ORC colt would deliver the
| goods" His previous races surely would not
warrant such confidence. His performance, how
ever, not an improvement those efforts
| and he was Outrun all the way. Crimmins
| broke New York in front of his field, and kept
| him out there to the finish, winning cleverly by
couple of lengths. Red Knight had more cour-
age than Grenade and took the place from
| HIM in a drive,
! For the third time the attempt OF Phobus to
| leave the maiden class frustrated, and
| the "one best bet" of the tipsters again went
| aWry. Jetsam, a three-year-old son Of Buck
| Massie, was the cause of the colts downfall. He
| beat him in race at six furlongs by half a
| length, after the former had made all the run
| ming.
In a selling race of five-eighths of mile Phyl.
| lis a. had so much the best of poor start that
| none of her company could catch her, and she
| showed them all the way home Panic and Bel
den were the runners up.
