Yesterday the experts were busy trying to fnd
a plausible reason for the defeat Of the Brown
leigh Park Stables two-year-old Sewen,
Who In previous races against older horses
has shown marked ability. In yesterdays
AFFAIR Sewel conceded twenty-six pounds to
voorhees,, q thrse-year-old. who hung up q
worlds record for six and q half furlongs.
III Is, with only nlnety-nve pounds on his
back. sewsll also gsveowenty-nine pounds
TO Gambrlnus. Wit with q concession OF
nine teen pounds In q previous race was easily
beaten by this Itwo-year-old. who won In a
romp, with Monet and Prince Hamburg In
the money. Jack Dolan was In receipt OF
thirty-one pounds from sewell. who gave
fourteen to the two-yesr-old Fish Hawk
and nfty to Lucy Young. Because of seweils
prowess HandzarraEand Monet were among
the scratches, and when the books put up
y to S there wasIA concerted rush to back the
son OF Cesarion-Ora Bailey, for whom hugh
Grant Brown. the owner OF the Brownleigh
Park Stable. paid $40. 900 TO G. T.. Rowe. so
heavy was the plunge on Sewell that ne was
SAINT to the post an overwhelming iaVoriCe
at 0 to 20. Shaw had the leg up. and following
fnstructions he took Sewell to the front.
'Ths colt instantly sho we'd that he did not
have the speed shown In his previous race.
and when the crisis came in the middle OF
th~ stretch he curled up like a cheap selling
platter and came home In the ruck. As Shaw
did his best with the colt, the critics we're
divided II in the opinion as to whether the weight
was too much for him or whether he was
not NJ and ready for a hard race. Some
horsemen we're inclined to believe that Seweil
had not been out OF his stall since his last
race, on October %. which IL true did not re-
feet much credit on his trainer, A. W.
Claxon. Whatever was the real cause for
he colts downfall the fact remains that the
books reaped a harvest. Dave johnson.

and in fact all the heavy operators were
|h-everely burned. Fred Burlew had so little
confidence In Voorhees,, who won this race
A. 10 to 1, that he waGered only s25 straight
and s25 to show. The form players, however.
backed voorhees, well for the place. while Al
Dryer and others in the clubhouse took Gam
hSinus to be third.
The second race was an open betting affair.

William Schaut. formerly identified with

nice bet on Gold Coin. backed from is down

cleaned up extensively just the same. William
LAkeland's Rose Of Gold was served up by
the tipsters as the real thing. She opened
at , to I, but went back to IL to 5. Lakeland.
II is said, betting as much as 500 on her. The
smart players, however, did not care for her
at all, but went to J. H. McAvoy's Tipping.

\ Maybe the wise men did not get a hard

like a victory for Fantastic. with LorinE

the smart fellows did not take the trio this

blown to 7 to 5. Jack Joyner telling his friends
&thst she could not lose. The last time Loring
&stsrted, with Finn up, she was backed on
4 the boards, but she lacked her usual speed
on that occasion and also received a queer
ride. For that reason she was passed up
yesterday. with the result that she went back
in the betting from s to S to 3. Fantastic

turned into the stretch that many bettors

she quit like a rat In a trap when the r~eiuve-
mated Loring came along and the latter than
proceeded to provide the most distressing
kind of an upset. Fantastic could not raise
Q gallon and the discredited Dollie Dollars
beat her easily for the place. the ring keeping
smother wagon load Of educated coin. Coy
Maid and Wetergrass were the previous
winners OF the Packer Stakes.
With only three starters in the NTH race
the smart money went on Chimney Sweep in
bundles at 0 to 10. Drolette was put up on
this horse 10 get a price. and he did well under
the circum stances. but Chimney Sweep could
have won with a wooden boy in the saddle.
Those who did not care for him, however. took
Pirate Polly a place. much 10 their discom-
future, for Lindale beat her In a rOmp.
The Shields family waited all the afternoon
to get in a characteristic plunge on Home
lander, q three-year-old by Long Island, who
graduated from the maiden class in the con-
Guiding event. The tip WAS public property
aud the support for the colt fairly swamped
the ring. He was hammered from even
money down to 10 TO 20 and came home in
such a clumsy fashion that the crowd did not
breathe easily until he passed the judges
with a safe margin. The books had a life
saver in stole. who was heavily played for the
place, and also in Adonis. who was taken place
and show.
The riding Of Joe Notter. who is under con-
tract to Lucky Jack McGinnis. is attTacting g
a great deal OF attention just now. Notter
had Ave mounts yesterday. He handled
three winners. Gold Coin. Loring and Home
lander, at the same time finishing second with
Acrobat and third with Gambrinus. He has
ridden nine win ners at Jamaica since the
meeting opened and stands second to Miller.
who has seventeen TO his credit. Notter has
been riding for two years or more. but II Is only
lately that he has displayed marked ability.
The rumor will not down that next year
the betting ring will be enclosed and an extra
admission fee will be charged to enter Il.
II lie persisteptly stated that bettors will
have TO pay sS for the privilege OF making
wagers In the big enclosure. which will be
under closer surveillance than ever before.
s. s. Rowland recently inspected the betting
arrangements on the English Tacecourses.
a fact that has prompted the belief that some
such arrangements will be Instituted on the
local tracks. Last winter there was talk of
forming a club. comprising leading book
makers and players. which would be the
means Of installing the system OF credit
betting, but this plan. has never been con-
4 sidered feasible by those who understand
the general situation on American race
