IVES A CHASER TO RYE.
MILLER OUTRIDES FINN.
-Four FaUorites and Second Choice
Vim at Jamaica Track

The weather made amends in part for the
somewhat ordinary programme at Jamaica yes
terday, and good sized crowd was at the track.
Four favorites and a well played second choice
won. and Miller handled his usual two winners,
so that those who followed form closely went
home well content with the days sport which
in other respects hardly up 20 the standard.
Belnere. Ed Ball and Delphie declined the
issue in the Garden City Stakes. n selling affair
a sixteenth. which left only Wes and Rye 10 face
the starter Neither lacked for followers, but
the Rye money so late in showing in the
ring that his price drifted back TO @ 20 10 after
opening at Z to 10. just at the end. however,
he was backed with the utmost confidence. so
that the price against Yves. which had been at
even money during most of the speculation.
heightened to Is to 10. Rye won In a big gallop.
but not until his followers had had some anxious
moments in the up the backstretch and
around the turn. when Wes was racing along
two three~lengths in front. and apparently
running the easier of the two When straight
ened out for home Yves began TO tire, so that
Rye quickly took command and came away, to
win as he pleased. 1t was clear case Of Miller
outgeneralling Finn.
Sister Frances was a prohibitive favorite at
1 to to beat Watergrass and Nellie Burn in
the second race. handicap at one mile and a
sixteenth. and again the favorite followers who
had accepted the short price passed through
some anxious moments. Knapp waited so long
with Sister Frances that 1t began to look as il
she could never get up; but Watergrasr which
was running out of her distance, hung badly
through the last turlong. In spite of Mler's best
efforts to keep her going, so that Sister Frances
wore her down and at the end was going away
under pressure, to win by three parts of
length. Nellie Burn outcIassed. although
she showed speed for six furlongs.
Lotus made a show of her field IN the first
race. and making the running to suit herself,
won hard held by five or six lengths from Bertha
E. and Quadrille. both of which heavily
played. Miller was unable TO make Mintia stay.
and finished outside the money.
Johnstown, a cast-off from the Sanford stable.
was the medium of good sized killing in the
third race, which called for non-winners this
year. He backed from 6 to / to to 1.
that Penrhyn. which opened favorite at
money. drifted back to to 1. C. Ross saved
ground with Johnstown rounding the paddock
turn. and placed him cleverly behind the pace
in the run up the backstretch. When Penrhyn
began to tire. turning for home. Johnstown took
command and won easily enough by three
lengths. Penrhyn stopped fast that Chal-
fonte had little trouble in earning the place.
Sally Preston. the split choice with Belle of
IroquOis, in the fifth race might have won if
Miller had not been anxious to get to the
front after breaking In the rear division and
Dollars, the early pacemaker, carried Sally Pres
ton so wide at the home turn that Clara Huron
and Lady Vincent BILE to three
lengths by coming through the rail. This
advantage counted in their favor and Clara
Huron won in drive by two lengths, with Lady
Vincent the distance before Sally Preston.
Belle of Iroquois off badly and could never
improve her position.
MoIesey was the best horse at the weights IN
the last race, handicap for three-year-olds, at
five and half furlongs. but he was slow TO
begin had to run all around his field, and just
failed to get up TO beat Waterbury, which had
made all the running The finish was so close
that those who had wagered Waterbury
watched for the numbers to go up with no little
anxiety Molesey. which one of the biggest
killings of the meeting had been made on Thurs
day. was again played with confidence, ana
backed from 10 to / to to l.. While the horses
were at the post . to 1 was hard to find. and
he was the actual favorite in many of the
books Arimo was knocked out Of the race just
after the start and forced back to last place.
He made up lot of ground and the accident
undoubtedly cost him part of the purse.
The Pinkertons effcetually shut off the view
from the so-called poolroom tower yesterday by
erecting canvas screens on huge poles. the next
move in the war between the racetracks and the
poolroom men will be watched with interest
