-D0yo Johnson CRshes on InuulsitOP.

What was pronounced the biggest killing
OF the year was put through successfully
by Newton Bennington and Fred Burlew at
the Bay yesterday when Capt. Enerich. a bay
cols by Solitaire II.-Georgia VI, won the
NTH race. IL was estimated that the ring
paid out more than 500. 900 on the colts
victory. Bennington and his trainer had
succeeded In keeping this good thing well
under cover. He had started four times
and In each instance showed nothing. His
handlers were waiting for n soft spot and
dropped him, accordingly, In with a lot OF
fair maiden two-year-olds. The wise element
had the tip that everything was all right, and
when the layers put up 10 TO / the mighty
plunge began. Clubhouse commissioners
handled big wagers made by Bennington.
Dave Gideon, Jesse Iewisohn, Senator Nc
Carren, f. X. Thomas, Al Dryer. A.. b Hudson.
Sydney Paget and all Of the notable specula-
tors who frequent that enclosure.
The combined clubhouse commission caused
q furry in the ring when agents Jumped
from book to book getting on the money In
all sorts Of sums. The plungers. WHIT do not
frequent the clubhouse. but keep close to
the bookmakers all the afternoon, were busy
everywhere betting on Capt. Emerich. until
the crowd at large, taking q tumble to what
was In the wind. followed suit. When the
bugle sounded the speculation had been
under way about fifteen minutes and the odds
had dropped to 4. Still the money continued
to flow into the cash boxes, the layers rubbing
TO 3. then to 2. and finally to 0 to 5. when the
horses were facing the barrier far up the
Futurity course. Many OF the books tried
to bet on the good thing with their fellow
layers. but the wagers were refused. Some
of the chalkers rubbed entirely after they had
received wagers at S. as they felt in their
bones that a killing was going through.
During the running OF the race intense ex-
element prevailed, as Capt. Emerlch seemed
49, l--l L. -
track; but when he made up the ground in
the rush to the wire and his number was A.
nally hoisted. the layers went back to their
stools shaking their heads. While the ring
lost heavily on the result, the setback was
partially offset by the money wagered on j. c.
Core, who vas backed from 3 down to II 10 5,
and also by the support accorded three ways
to Dave Johnson's Baytwlg. %Jacinta, owned
by Peter Win mer, carried a bunch, too. as
she was backed from 20 down to s, and looked
the winner at the sixteenth pole. Umbrella
was heavily backed for the place, however, a
play that put a further Grim n in the layers
bank rolls. At the last moment there was a
good play on II. X. Vingut's Compensation. a
100 to 1 shot, chiefly to show. This colt. who
did not get away any too we'll. was Just out
side of the money and was gaining rapidly at
the wind up.
Dave johnson. after losing a fat wager on
Roseben proceeded cautiously, until the betting
on the Sheepshead Bay Handicap began.
Then he went around the ring and placed COM
paratively small wagers on lnquisitor at 20
to /. The Newcastle Stable people also bet
on this colt, Bill Cowan losing to them one bet
of so. 900 to $500. The public bet on Halifax
with confidence. But, as the race was run. a
mile proved to be too far for him. He breezed
the first three-quarters in l:l?. but tired after
that. L w. Jewett's Bedonin was a supposed
good thing, Fred johnson, Bob McGib bon and

from 10 to 7. But Wishard was of no help to
the Meddler gelding. who ran a good race on
his own hook at that. Prince Hamburg was
played down two points. while Won Tromp
and Kings Daughter were also In demand
across the boards. Inuuisitor's time, 1871 3-5,
cut a fifth of a second OF the best record OF
the course, made In 1901 by August Belmont's
Brigndier, In the same stake, with l22 pounds.
Inauisitor was in receipt of eleven pounds
from Halifax and gave the SAINT weight to
Won Tromp. Previous winners OF the race
were Don AlonZo, Domino, st. Maxim, Havoc.
Semper Ego. Fly By Night. Grcyfeld, BrIga-
der, Kamara. Blues, Graziallo and Woodsaw.

the skill of W. s. Vosburgh.

VIII they ever stop betting on Rosehen?
The old fellow has been in poor form all
the wear, vet the public and Owner Dave
johnson have been betting on him heavily.
johnson did not put down his wagcrs yester-
day until the last minute and then he Robbled
up 0 to 10. The clubhouse took kiamesha
with confidence and the crack Fisher mare
won her first race of the year in grand style.
she was Just breeding at tho wire. Iiosehcn
gave her twenty-five pounds. Klamesha
meeting Handzarra on even terms as to
weight. In another jump Watercrass would
have beaten Roseben ont OF third money.
W. O.. Scully has a claim OF SIS against

Park. II was q marker and tho horse won.
when Scully went around to cash he was
informed that the bet lid not go because

test of F. r. Hitchcock against Go Between's

adjustment.

outside of the track before the races. the
