BY A CITY BLOCK
GOOD RACING CoMEDY.DRAMA
At THE BELASC0
Lewis Stone as a Comedian and Amelia
Gardeners Red Wlu the Two Sur
prlses-opera Returns for
Brief Season

"Gallops" won in a walk by city
block at the Belasco last night in a
four-heat .eeplechase over several b.i
hurdles. Every actor in the race
showed good form and action, and made
a good run, though one or two were
hampered by bad colds. The finish was
very close between the gray, Lewis S.
Stone, and the black, Harry Glazier,
ridden by Jack Heminway and Ran
dolph Gordon, respectively but Stone
came in under the wire a nose in the
lead, winning hanoily, Glazier losing
az the last fence, though in the lead till
then. The chestnut filly, Marion Berg,
showed the best form among the colts
with Mrs. Galloway up; she dressed out
well and rollcked home in Jig time
The big sorrel mare, Amelia Gardner,
with Mrs. Innis up, was bothered by a
heavy cold also, and especially by a
carrotty head dress which made her
look like guy; otherwise she was
good The black fly Margaret Lang
ham, with Neil Colfax up. was a bit
stiff, but managed her jumps cleverly
and finished heart to heart with Stone

But the race vas distinctively Stones;
he developed a tendency to cut up that
was very funny, and that few supposed
he possessed, and this amused the
grandstand and paddock immensely.
Also, that sorrel headpiece of Gardeners
was a joke that played havoc with the
risibilities of the betting ring.

the first Leaf was anybody's money.
Stone and Yerance got bad falls at the
first ditch, b. limped along. Langham
came in late, but caught the bunch be-
fore the heat was done. The bishop, on
Yerance, got badly balled up, and it
was almost done before he got on to
the running. In the second, Stone and
Glazier clashed and nearly threw their
riders, but some of the others got in
between them and prevented serious
trouble, though they did collide. The
FLIES punched and all behind. Stone
and Glazier drew to the fore here, both
running close to form and taking the
brush neck and neck. Gardner caused
trouble by breaking away once or
twice, but the Leaf ended IN a mess,
owing to some bad tumb- with both
Stone and Glazier in the water.
The final heat found the entire field
running strong. Both Glazier and Scott
were acting very ugly and there were
several claims of foul disallowed. In
the stretch bad riding was so evident
that these two were disqualified and
sent to the stables before the wire was
reached. The grandstand approved the
decision vociferously. -eF 4
1t was good race and afforded some
lively amusement to a great crowd,
ring, paddock, stand and boxes being
packed. it will be run all week, and
every lover of good Keen sport is adj
vised to see it.
