SMALL FIELDS THE RULE
STAKE. TWO-HORSE RACE.
Jack Young Beats Bad Nezcs and
Hermitage I'm Handicap.

The blue pencil played havoc with the card
at AQueduct yesterday. When the scratches
were all in. the Stonybrook Stakes. at mile
and a sixteenth. had been reduced to a two
horse race while five out Of ten had declined
the issue in the handicap for all ages Seven
out Of fifteen also withdrawn from the
fifth race and only four horses went to the
post in the second. With all this the days
racing was fairly interesting. although none
too profitable from a form players standpoint
as four first choices two of which were at
odds-on, went down 10 inglorious defeat Bir-
rn,neham and Swell Girl were the winning
fsvorites.
The handicap for all ages, at one mile and
a sixteenth proved the feature of the day
after the stake had been depleted Bad News
and Hermitage opened equal favorites at TO
3 but the latter went back TO 3 to and
BAD News closed the choice. Lindale had
confident following while Jack Young ana
Caronal were the outsiders. The start was
good Hermitage and Bad News raced away
in front but after the first quarter Mcintyre.
on the latter took hold of his mount and
allowed the lightly weighted Caronal to go on
and race with Hermitage Jack Young was
the whipper in. In the long run through the
straight there was constant changing OF po-
stions First Caronal showed in front for a
few strides, then hermitage drew away again
and finally Bad News came fast the rail
and. taking command, appeared to be WIN
ming. The prize not for any of them'
however. Jack Young under SchaHners
guidance, had been gradually improving his po-
sition, and at the last sixteenth pole he was
within striking distance and running strong.
He quickly disposed of Hermitage and gave
battle to Bad News which was none too ready,
after his early efforts For few strides the
Bradley geldng did his best to stall off inn
pending defeat but to no avail, and Jack
Young headed him and going away.
Hermitage saved third money from Caronal,
while Lindale wound up a bad last.
Sidney c. Love beat Grenade in the two-horse
race for the Stonybrook Stakes. Grenade was
always the favorite and Just at the end was
weak ride Grenade. but TO all appearances he
did mis- best with a horse that is too sound,
and which, after being carried along pretty fast
for six furongs. swerved all the track under
pressure. Sidney {. Love tired horse at
the end. and would probably have capitulated
readily enough if Grenade had been able to make
determined challenge
More than usual interest was taken in the
opening race. i'm which eight two-year-old selling
platers were asked TO go mile It was the
first exclusively for two year-ods at this
distance since the Triumph Stakes at Brighton
