Queen Of Cedars New Candidate.
One of the best catches ever made by
a member of the Speedway mounted squad
went to the credit OF Policeman Weiner
yesterday morning Louis Meryash and
his wife were driving In top phaeton be-
hind the chestnut cob Chancellor. Az the
end of the iron railing, Cascade. 3:O0X Fanny
X. 2I5h; Peter Sheldon and James shevlln
2IsH. passed the Chancellor with each owner
working with whip, rein and voice TO help
his favorite to victory.
The excitement was too much FOR Chan.
cellor and he broke into run. NJ. Meryash
tugged at the reins. but the horse was har-
messed without a checkrein and he merely
ducked his head, and was soon beyond con-
troll. Fortunately, Mounted Policeman
Weiner was right at the finishing post and
ready for action. The horse had been running
close to the curb. which Is always tho point
of danger In a runaway incident. Weiner
rode In between the runaway ana the curb.
where he would be able to use his lett hand
only In making the catch.
This made Weiner's work doubly dino ult'
but eliminated the danger Of the horse
.vervine into the curb and wrecking the
OUTFIT before he could be placed under con-
troll. 1t was sharp run nearly to Washing
ton Bridge before the horse Weiner rode
could head the Chancellors. Even then
the sulky brute fought OF restraint and car
ried owner and oficer nearly TO High Bridge
before he was brought to full stop.
The brush that caused the runaway was
really one OF the best Of tho morning. E. y.
La Place, just back from tour OF Europe,
drove his bay PAGER Cascade 5ooh. anu
really outclassed everything he met. Elmer
Stevens was up behind Fanny T.. sI6h. .
winner at the Speedway Horse Show.
T. Do Leo drove the Chicago PAGER Peter
Sheldon, and Henry Phillips was up behind
the Grand circuit trotter James ehevln.
AJAX. From the first turn Of the wheels II
was q battle royal. Down to the point where
the Chancellor took fright the four horses
were head and head. When the runaway
began to look dangerous Peter SHIELD on and
James Shevlin were taken In hand. Cascade
and Fanny X. were driven out and finished
Tapped.
Cascade was the most prominent winner
of tho morning. He began by winning from
the bay trotter Little Helen. 2iSx. formerly
q Speedway star In the stable OF Dewitt c.

the trotter Bow Rene. 2ISH. starting each
