Probably the largest crowd that ever
passed through the gates of the Aqueduct
track saw the races yesterday afternoon.
There were close to 10000 persons In the
stands and on the lawn, and enthusiasm ran
high. The feature was the Queens County
Handicap, for three-year-olds and upward,
at u mile, which was won in handsome style
by W. s. Wuliams's Rams Horn. a star win
ner at New Orleans last winter. Rams
Horn picked up llS pounds and was a strong
f~avorlte. as he was played from 8 to 2 down
to 8 to o, while Red knight, the original s TO 8

and Race King were also supported generously.

Horn. with Perrlne up, conceded Jumps OF

trouble. With the raising OF the barrier
Red Knight and Bats went out In front at
a killing pace, with Perrine holding Rams
Horn in check until he rounded into the stretch
Then Red Knight exploded. while Bats kept
on Ramely. 1t was n simple matter. how
ever, for Rams Horn TO take the leadership
when Perrinedec lined TO do 80, and in a breez-
ing gallop the Crescent City champion passed
the Judges with two lengths to spare in the
fast time of i:39 20. Bats lasted long enough
TO keep the place from the rapidly gaining
Race King by a head. with Grenade two
lengths out of the money, and both Bohemia
and Red knight badly beaten.
