GREAT STEEPLECHASE
Whitney Memorial. Worth
$4,000, Provides a Stirring
Race Over the Stiff Jumps

NEW YORK, May 1S.-It was Bel
mont day at Belmont Park to-day.
Three races were won for August Bel
mont, chairman of the Jockey Club,
by horses bred at his Kentucky farm,
The Nursery" With Blandy he won
the Withers stake, one of the classics
Of the American turf. With Tiptoe he
won the Fashion stake, which is one
Of the most noted Of the filly stakes for
two-year-olds, and with Crossways he
won an overnight event. The total
money won by Belmont's horses was
Sl0,500. This cut no figure, however,
compared with the pleasure it gave
their owner when, one after the other,
he saw his horses, the produce of stall
lions and mares for which, in some
cases, he had paid fabulous prices,
come home in front of their fields.
Scarcely less interesting was the in
itial race for the Whitney Memorial
steeplechase, which had z. gross value
OF $4,000, Of which $lo,50o went to the
winner, Good and Plenty. Summary:
