MILLER In ECLIPSE.
NOTTER TAKES HIS PLACE
Loring Beats Barbary Belle IN
Packer Stakes at Jamaica.

Miller the marvellous did not ride winner
at Jamaica yesterday, and his followers went
home disconsolate. 1t was the first day since
the meeting opened that he failed to bring at
least one horse home in front. He only ac-
cepted three mounts-Ffsh Hawk Merlingo and
Barbary Belle. The last named ran second, but
the other two were not in the money. Notter
took his place in the limeght and rode three
winners, a second and a third horse. He is
riding better than ever before, and by his quick
ness at the post and general all-around clever
work is earning the confidence of racegoers.
Notter had the mount on Gambrnus in the
first race, and was beaten two heads after
spirited drive through the stretch, in which he
was more or less Handicapped by being in close
quarters between two horses He handled Aero
bat to good advantage in the second race, al
though Malacca won by neck by taking the
dry going on the outside. Notter then won in
the third race with Gold Coin, at y to 1, and
the Packer Stakes with Loring, at to l. He
did not have mount in the fifth race but
wound up the day by winning with Homelander,
the odds-on favorite in the last race.
The card was not particularly attractive yes
terday, but a good sized crowd was in attend
ance. 1t was bright fall day, and the air.
while sharp and bracing, was not too cold for
complete comfort. The track was heavy and
so that the horses that came wide at the head
OF the stretch had a distinct advantage in the
run to the wire.
Loring won the Packer Stakes, for two-year-
old fliies. from. Barbary Belle, Dore Dollars
and Fantastic. Barbary Belle and Fantastic
We're both heavily played, the former closing
slight favorite. Fantastic, however, was the me-
dunn of late plunge, which forced her price
down from IL TO 10 TO 3. She was proba-
bly, the best backed horse in the race. Loring,
after opening at to 3. went back to ) to l,
and those who had bet on her early had reason
10 believe that they were wrong in their judg-
ment, and many hedged by wagering on either
Fantastic Barbary Belle.
Those who stood pat" had reason to con-
graduate themselves, however, as Loring caught
Barbary Belle tiring at the last sixteenth pole.
and came on to win rather easily. Fantastic
could not raise a respectable gallop, and trailed
along in last place all the way. Miller, who had
the mount Barbary Belle blamed for
making too much of the fllly in the early
part, and this in a measure accounted for her
defeat. she was stopping badly when most
was required of her.
Sewell proved a grevous disappointment in
the first race. In spite of the fact that he had
all the worst of the weights and was called on
to concede from fourteen to fifty pounds to his
opponents. according to the scale, he was made
a pronounced fayOrite and heavily backed from
TO TO TO 8. Fish Hawk, another two-Year-
old, was the second choice at to l. When il
racing Sewell quickly took command,
and showed the way around the turn into the
stretch by two or three lengths. Just when his
followers began 10 shout eXuberantly, however,
he began TO stop and in less than il takes tell
ii he back in the ruck with Voorhees,, Jack
Doland and Gambrinus fighting it out head and
head in front. Voorhees,, which had followed the
pace closely most of the way, lasted just long
enough TO win, but Jack Dolan would have
beaten him in another stride, after coming from
last place on the far turn with q remarkable
burst OF speed. The finish so close that
only the judges could separate the three placed
horses.
Acrobat was played for a killing in the
ond race, and backed from 10 to ! to to l. He
raced Jersey Lady into submission rounding the
home turn, and looked all a winner a dozen
strides from the wire Maacca came with
rattle however, on the extreme outside where
the going was best, and got up in the last few
strides TO win by neck. Animus, badly outrun
IN the early part, closed strong through the last
furlong, and beat Hyperbole a head for third
money, although many persons in the stand did
not agree with the Judges in the placing.
Rose Of Gold was the "one best bet" of all the
railbrds for the third race and closed a slight
favorite over Tipping and Hoowman She was
crowded back al the paddock turn, however. and
railed along in the ruck all the way. The WIN
ner turned up in Gold Coin, which, after fol-
lowing the pace closely TO the head of the
stretch, came to the outside in the dry going
