KILLINGS" THAT FAILED
EOGTSTTLLA'S FAST RACE.
Three FaUorites and Three Second
Choices Win at Brighton Beach.

TWO horses were played FOR a killing at
Brighton Beach yesterday but both failed. due,
in part 20 a poor send-Off in each case. Oriy
II came out OF the West with victory over
Brancas. which is thought by some to have
good chance in the rich Brighton Handicap to-
day. 20 his credit and the Western crowd
plunged on him as IL the race was in He was
hacked from 10 1 to TO ). in spite Of the
strong play on Logistilla and Aeronaut. The
word was passed around that he would walk
home. but he failed utterly live up TO expec-
1ations. He was slow TO move at the start and
seemed 20 get away all tangled up, and by the
time he had settled down 20 racing he was many
lengths out OF IT, so that at the end he had 70
be content with fourth place.
ElectiOneeF was the other one which failed his
followers He was the 'one best bet" OF all the
railbirds. and when 12 to / was posted against
him in the ring in the last race there was such
q rush TO bet on him that his price was quickly
cut 20 3 20 /. The tip became so widespread
that the pikers bet their twos and fives and the
plungers bet their hundreds as II he were
second Water Pearl. Like Orly II, he was all
tangled up at the start and last away from the
post. and when settled in his stride he some
six or eight lengths behind McCarter. the favor
ite which was sailing along in front Little
BFussell. who had the mount took up what
looked like hopeless stern chase. and the colt
responded well that when Strengthened out
for home he had passed all the others and was
within two lengths of the flying leader. On he
came, gaining at every stride. but the distance
20 the judges all too short. and McCarter
lasted long enough to win on the post by a head
ElectiOneer is a fine looking colt by Voter
Quesal, and hence a half brother to Tommy
Atkins. whose death was a great loss TO James
r. Keene some years ago. He is big as the
average three-year-old. and has that smooth,
easy way OF running that marks good colt.
With an even break he would have won easily
BY four or five lengths, and, as It was, he ran a
race that leads TO the impression that Billy
Lakeland has a twO-year-old which may hold
his own later on with the best youngsters Of
the year
There were no fixtures on the programme
yesterday. but the racing was quite up TO the
standard, and a good sized crowd was in at
tendance, which went home well content ,,-,t,,
the days entertainment. Three fayorifas I,i srJ
three second choices won. and the players haG
the layers. WIN
LOgistilla won the handicap at one mile and
sixteenth In the fast time of 1883. She won
easlly oy three lengths. which made the per-
romance the more praisewOrthy She was
ouLrun In the early part, and on the backstrefch
was some six or eight lengths behind Aeronaut
which was galloping along in front as if the
race was at six furIongs instead OF a mile and
a sixteenth Logistilla wore him down rounding
the turn and, catching him at the head of the
stretch, came away 10 win as she pleased, while
Aeronaut hung on better than was expected, and
earned the place, two lengths before Grenade
which beat Orly II a neck.
Make Witt was graduated from the maiden
class In the first race but it took Martins best

Albert F. Those who had played him at odds
on had some anxious moments in the drive
through the stretch and heaved a sigh of relief
when the numbers finally went up showing him

pany in the second race and, galloping in front
all the way, won easily in the fast time Of
liz sS-b for the six furlongs. She was a slight
favOrite over Consistent in the betting James
r. Keene's BallOtta. which was beaten a head
for third money, might have been second with
better luck at the start and stronger handling
Little Myers did his best. but was OF little help
TO the fliy The suspension OF Radtke on Thurs
day probably cost the Keene stable second
money. at least.
Frank Lord, of the most consistent two
year-olds in training. the third race after
a spirited drive through the last furlong with
Al Powell. the favorite. Jaunty suffered from
poor break and bad racing luck. or she might
have beaten them both Maxnar took the mile
and 4 quarter selling race. while Tartan the
o0ds-on faVorite. had all he could do 10 get third
money His race was most disappointing
