TWO FAV0RITES
WON AT JAMAICA

NEW YORK. May "A quick change in
the going at Jamaica from the mud OF Mon
day to a dry and fairly good track yester-
day was of little help to the form followers.
who went wrong in four of the six races.
In the races where form proved true Donna
Elvira and Grenade were the winners.
Grenade's race was for the Corona selling
stakes, at one mile and seventy yards, NOM
inally the feature of the card. The holding
back of the scratches to prevent the pool
rooms from getting news prevented the
trainers from knowing what horses would
run until the race had been scratched down
to Grenade and Jennie McCabe. With no
claimant for third money, Grenade had q
hollow victory. Jennie McCabe showing in
front for only few strides at the start.
Donna Elvira also had a comparatively
easy success. she being one OF the leaders
away from the starting post, and taking
command at her pleasure after odd Trick
raced in front for nearly three furlongs.
The successful long chances were the
Newcastle tables Subtle, in the selling six
furlongs, second on the card, backed from
10 to ] down to to !, and E. A. Chinns
Kings Gem, In the fifth race, @. mile and
seventy yards, selling, for which Kings
Gem was backed from 10 to 1 down to to
1. Water Dog was favorite In the Kings
Gem race, and had more than a fair allow
ance of misfortune In being pinched OF at
the start and being jostled about in the run
to the last turn, but he might have won
even then had not his rider followed the
leaders In making a wide turn. instead of
going to the rail when the way was made
clear for him.
Accountant the star two-year=old of the
S. S. Brown stable last season, made his
first appearance Of the spring In the six
furlong handicap. and. with the top weight
by the scale, won IN clever style, a head be-
fore Tommy Waddel. the favorite. Ac-
countant led from the first jump to the last.
