ANOTHER FINE
RACE BY ROSEBEN
Great Splinter First in Bay
view Handicap in Grand
Style.

greatest Sprlnter or the American turf, with
two worlds records written to his credit,
closed his campaign of 1866 at the Aque-
duct track yesterday with singular vic
tory in the Bayview handicap, for which
he carried 1916 pounds and galloped in first
In easy style and slow time on a muddy
track. The race was the special feature
of the Aqueduct program. Roseben, one of
the most popular horses that has raced in
several years, was named to run with the
top weight of 146 pounds up, over a course
of seven ,furlongs. and simply as Rose
ben he helped to draw a big crowd. Ten
horses were named to run originally, but
only half that number went to the post
The weather at the time of the race was
rainy and gloomy, and the track, made
slow by the morning rain, was deep and
muddy close to the rail, though we'll out in
the track the going was hard, in spite Of
the wet surface.
The betting crowd which had gathered
to bet on Roseben seemed to have doubts
as to how he would go on such a course,
and the doubts were at work from the first,
as, though Roseben was the opening IA
vorite at a short price, he went back
in the betting steadily. until post time, when
he was only second choice to the three-year-
old Hot Teddy. ;,-
Oxford Off First.
The start was made with Oxford off in
front, the field close together, with the
exception of Ormonde's Right, which was
away last and seemingly left at the post.
in the run to the first turn Ben Ban, the
best-backed of the outsiders, rushed to
the front and led to the bend into the three
furlongs stretch, where Roseben, ridden by
Shaw went on, attended by Oxford, and
made a rush for the lead On the turn
Ben Ban held the rail and gained great
advantage by taking the shortest way home,
while Roseben, followed by Oxford, went
straight across the track to the outside.
The horses were hardly Strengthened out
in the stretch before the purpose of the
wide turn made by Roseben and Oxford
was made apparent, for the two horses went
to the extreme outside, where they found
the going packed down and hard, while Ben
Ban and the others floundered in the deep
going on the rail. With three furlongs to
run down the straight, Roseben and Oxford
easily made up what ground they lost on
the turn, and at the finish had the race be-
tween them, Roseben winning rather easily.
Oxford, two lengths behind the winner,
was second, six lengths in front of Or
monde's Right. d. c. johnson, owner of
Roseben announced after the race that the
horse would be retired for the season. hav-
