Cenuine-Syrup Of Figs

decided at the Jamaica track yesterday, but
1t was not SO queer that it failed to draw n
crowd. Four races of the six on the card
were for beaten horses. maidens and nom
winners in two years. four were with selling
conditions. and four were at a distance OF
three-quarters of mile. The field did not
include quite all the bad horses, but showed
a representative lot, and even then the
hackers were equal to the occasion ana
made three favorites that were returned
winners.
The distinguishing feature OF the after
moons racing was the success which came
to the colors of the Oneck stable, in which
name the horses of the new state racing
commissioner. H K. Knapp, run. The
Oneck stables winners were Optician. in
the opening race. and Rob Roy, in the hfth,
Rob Roy furnishing the surprise of the day.
as he was the longest chance outsider 10
win, starting at Is to /.
Optician started the form followers for
the day by galloping out in front most of
the distance in the fist event and winning as
he pleased, at odds on. with the long
chance Blue Coat second. Rob Roy, ridden
by the light boy Lowe, on the other hand,
made but slight appeal to the betting crowd,
and was neglected even in the field of If
teen horses that made up the race FOR
horses that had not won In 1905 or 1906.
Benevolent, with Radtke up. figured among
the choices for the Newtown stakes, at six
furlongs for which Diamond went to the
post favorite. with Grapple the next best
backed. Diamond was on his very worst
behavior, and refused to join his field at
the barrier, with the result that the starter
permitted him to break from the rear. and
Diamond then began so slowly that he prac-
tically was beaten at the start. Fustlan ted
off, but was outrun in the first half furiong
by Grapple, which for the remainder of the
distance simply romped along out in front,
and won, pulling back to Fustfan, by three
lengths Benevolent third.
Grace George ran away from the mod
crate lot of maiden FLIES, two years old. in
the second race, and at 10 to l wo away
off.
