Talent by Failing to Cap
ture Final Event

Spectators at Ascot experienced an,
other thrill in the fourth race wheT
Jockey Sparger went over Mounte-
banks head near the first turn. For q
moment II appeared as though the boy
had met a fate similar TO that oi
Jockey Lewis, but as the horse:
flashed by Sparger was seen 20 have
ing up.
The public had an even break wi;h
the bookmakers. CaShing well When
Lord of the Heath. after an absence OF
two years. came back 10 win the thirO
event.
Renraw was made a As favorite for
the first race and justified the faith
placed in him by winning in a FIVE
length gallOp. DR.. Crook was as easily
second. but toward the end Archibald
hustled him mildly to stall OF Lord
RossingtOn. The others failed 10 show
anything worthy of mention with the
exception Of Hipoteca. which was Of
badly and finished resolutely.
Lord Stanhope, as was anticipaIe1,
made it three straight by winning the
second race. This Gideon CASTOR was
backed from 6-5 to S-5, but was obliged
to do his best in order to outlast Judgs
Nelson, finishing in the fast time of
1:14% over a sloppy track. Greene
showed her usual speed, but quit after
three furlongs had been registered.
Illusion about ran her race, as did
Cazador which was handicapped by a
poor rider.
Lord Of the Heath showed old-time
form yesterday by slapping the mud in
La Chatas face. La Chata, on her
last two races, was made a 7-10 favor
ite, but showed none of her early
speed, having a hard tussle to stave
off Golden Boy. My Choice was heavily
backed, but showed nothing to war
rant it. Agnes Mack is rounding into
form and will be a good one to bear
in mind.
What appeared to be a serious acct
dent occurred in the fourth when
Mountebank stepped in hole and
threw Sparger toward the fence. AS
the boy pressed his hand before his
face it looked as though he had been
kicked. Examination showed that he
escaped with nothing more than a
shoulder bruise.
Sir Caruthers and Prince Magnet
were away flying and clear of interfer-
ence had the race to themselves.
Baron Esher outgamed Search Me and
took the show. The form on this race
will be poor for future consideration.
Lone Hand, on the strength of fast
morning trials, was chalked 80
favorite for the fifth, while Succeed
closed at 81. Jack Kercheville was
cared for at nothing better than 5s.
AS the barrier raised Lone Hand shot
out of the bunch and headed a pro-
cession to the stretch. Succeed tore
in about this time and won handily,
while Kercheville took the show from
fast firing Lone Hand. The latter ran
as though short and will win from this
sort next time out.
Pencil wielders scored point or two
when Legatee went to the post, popu-
lar for sixth event honors. From As
Legatee dropped to 81, with Gentle
Harry held at 5s. Jack Adams went
for IS, while Invictus received a heavy
show play. When the barrier flew
Gentle Harry Immediately took COM
mand and was never headed to the
wire, although Legatee and Jack
Adams were close at the finish.
The latter experienced a rough jour-
ney and was penned to the rail dur
ing a gretter part of the race. Jack
Adams came with a rush and was
catching the winner with every stride.
Invictus ran a disgraceful race in go
ing to her liking.
