4. Hitchcock, Jr.. Wins I'Sco Rich
Stakes scith SalUidere and HyIas.

Miller, the Jockey was the lion Of the hour a.
the Brighton Beach racetrack yesterday ne
accepted five mounts and rode fve winners IN
the cleverest and most approved fashion lie
began by riding Gold Lady 20 victory in the first
race and followed this by winning with Content
salvidere, Mamie Hodge and The Clown he
was generously applauded when he brought Goid
Lady home in front; he was enthuslasticaiiS
cheered when he scored with Content Salvidere
and Mamie Hodge, and he was wildly acclaimed
when he completed his remarkable performance
fv winning with The Clown. AS he came back
. 20 the stand TO weigh in he was greeted with a
perfect storm Of applause. which was little short
Of an ovation, and II was well deserved as ne
had handled all his mounts with that rare SIKH
and judgment which marks the finished rider
A big half holiday crowd, numbering some
fifteen thousand persons, was in attendance anu
as the casual racegOers play Miller's mounts
with the confidence born Of previous success the
majority went home with smiling faces ana
hulging pockets The women in particular were
wildly enthusiastic as Miller race after race
ana we're the most forward Of those who greeted
him after each success. While Millers Fioifs
was the feature Of the day, the sport as ~aOAe
was spirited and interesting. and was not
rasrred in the slightest extent by the light rain
which fell during the running OF the third race
The sun came out later. and the cool breeze
from the ocean made It an ideal day for an OUT
.ng.
The Brighton Beach Racing Association hao
provided good programme OF seven races
zzhich included three fixtures. The Seashore
Handicap at a mile and a quarter won by
1voodford Clay's Content: the Brighton Junior
stakes, won by Thomas. Hitchcock 1r's SAW
sere, and the Brighton Steeplechase, won by the
same owners Hylas.
Next 20 Miller Thomas Hitchcock. jr-. enjoyed
q aeld day, as his double success with SalV1dere
and Hylas netted him S1S.2S0 The victory OF
salvidere in the Brighton Junior STAKES OF
$1,000 was the surprise OF the day. and OF the
,,e.r. for that matter and illustrated once more
che uncertainty Of the sport James R heene
started Peter Pan, Ballot and Superman' which
are ranked among the best two-yeaT-olds OF the
season II looked almost as Il the v1ce-chairunan
of the Jockey Club would earn the fun stake and
same unfavorable comment was heard tnat ne
was not satisfied TO start one and leave Ihe
Others In the stable. The three were coupled IN
che straight and place betting and held at = 10
& but the big bettors accepted this price SO
readily that they went TO the post at 70 3.
Thomas Hitchcock. Jr.. started Salvidere and
Golf Bah. They were held at to l. August
Felmonts Rosemount, at 10 TO !, and II. B.
DURYEA'S ChaseaWay, played by the rallbirds
from 100 10 ! 10 60 TO l, were the only otner
The Keene trio, which looked to have the rich
stake at their mercy as the field cantered 10 the
barrier, proved a grtevous disappointment Su-
perman managed TO earn the small end OF the
purse from August Belmont's RosemOunt, Whlle
Peter Pan and Ballot were back in the ruck
soundly beaten. Peter Pan carried the frst col
ors OF the stable, and he raced head and head
with Rosemount up the backstrerch ana arouno
the turn some four lengths before SalVidere ana
Ballot which led the others. Peter ran ap-
ueared to be under gentle restraint, and nine
out Of every ten persons in the stand expected
TO see him come on to an easy victory When
Rosemount stopped
Peter Pan was the first however, TO show the
white feather, and seemed totally unable to take
llp fresh battle when Salvidere came swinging
up on the outside. turning for home, and moved
10 the front in the most impressive manner He
fought on in half hearted way for few
strides. but SaIvidere came away easily and won
with something in reserve by two full lengths
from the 100 70 1 shot. Chaseaway which closed
from last place with determined rush ana
earned second money. Peter Pan stopped almost
10 a walk, and his stable companion. Superman,
closing strong when all too late, beat RosemounC
in a hard drive for third place Ballot. Of which.
perhaps most was expected, was badly outrun
most OF the way
the most promising and best two -year-olds OF
the season. He was bought at the dispersal sale
Of W. Harry Browns stable a few days ago by
Thomas Hitchcock. jr, for something under
$4,000. He won himself out in his first start, on
WEDNESDAY When ne defeated Elecuoneer and
Don Enrique among others He had only lO6
pounds up on that occasion, and there seemed to
be some question Of his ability TO handle 119
pounds yesterday. He took up his weight, how
ever. and like a high class colt and for the
time being. at least, stands second to Water
Pearl as the best two-year- old Of the year
Jimmy Lane and Delcanta, coupled as Mr.
Cotton's entry, were odds-on favorites for the
Brighton Steeplechase, which had an added
money value of $4,000. Jimmy Lane came tC
grief however. at the second jump from home
and Hylas. well handled by Ray had no trouble
sn defeating Delcanta and placing another ricl
stake to the credit Of Mr. Hitchcock. Decants

and Jimmy Lane moved up, neck and neck. A
the second jump from home Jimmy Lane cam,
an ugly cropper. which left Hylas only the tireC
Delcanta TO beat, Caller and Kernel wer'
many lengths away.
Owens was not injured by his fall and hurried
back TO the Judges stand TO register a claim D
foul against Ray, who rode Hylas. He held tha'
Ray had been the direct cause Of Jimmy Lane
falling; but the stewards, after hearing what the
patrol judges had to say, dismissed the com
plant. From the stand 10 did not look as 4
Hylas had interfsred with Jimmy Lane, bu
rather that Owens had rushed his mount at tn,
jump in way to court disaster.
Woodford Clays Content, which could hardly
raise Rallop in her last start at SheepSheaC
Bay, made show OF her field in the Seashort
IIandicaD, and ran the mile and q quarter In the
pace, but sent her up TO her field rounding the
FAR turn, ana came away IN the stretch, TO wiz
