REDO FIRST I'm HARLEM.
BEATS SECURITY 4 HEAD.
Jockeys Escape Injury When
d Mounts Fall at Belmont Park.

"a yohn a. Drake saved his Metropolitan Handi-
eap winner Grapple. the ignominy OF parading
: gn the role Of platter so soon after winning 4
turf classic. and scratched him from the Harlem
Selling Stakes yesterday at Belmont Park. Rebo.
the hve-year-old son Of Percy Cinerone. proved
a good second string to Mr.. brakes bow, how
ever. and placed the stake 20 his credit after n
spirited drive through the last sixteenth with
Sam Hildreth's Security Rebo won by only a
short head. and would have been beaten in
another stride, but little Garner nursed him
home IN the most approved style and allowed
sGr. Drake ana his friends to cash good sized
wagers.
The Harlem Selling Stakes the feature oi
the programme yesterday. It was for three
year-olds and upward at mile and was
: gun as the fourth race. After Grapple. Water
sDog. Aucassin and Jennie ATcCabe were scratched
q left five horses 20 face the starter. Rebo
opened the favorite at TO 5. but drifted back to
II 20 &. and even higher in places on a plunge
on Security. Just at the end. however, Mr.
Drake and those who follow the fortunes OF that
stable backed Rebo. and he closed a split choice
with Security. at to 5 each. The three other
horses were not neglected. and each one was
/. backed down from his high price.
After the start the race quickly developed into
two horse affair between Rebo and Security
! Garner took Rebo to the front and led by two
p open lengths around the turns and well into the
stretch, with Security some three or four lengths
i before the others. At the last furiong pole

Z responding TO the punishment crept up on the
flying pacemaker Little Garner. on Rebo, ap-
peared supremely confident and without making
n move. held his firing horse together. Security
was catching him fast, but Rebo lasted long
enough TO win by a short head. Grenade was
third. six lengths away.
II seemed almost a miracle that two Jockeys
we're not seriously injured in an accident in the
hrst race Sue Smith and CaIabash got caught
IN jam just after the start Of the first race and
fell. while Horner and Finn. the Jockeys. were
thrown under the feet Of the flying field II
: seemed as If one or both would be badly injured
Il not killed, but both youngsters jumped to
their feet and appeared none the worse for their
experience. Homer did not ride again, but Finn
took mount in the last race. Sue Smith was
q strong second choice, and her followers
groaned IN despair Lord of the Forest and
optician fought out the issue all through the
stretch, and the latter named won in the last
stride by a head.
Thomas Hitchcock. jr.'s. Dandelion. which ran
second in the Metropolitan Handicap, won the
handicap at one mile and a sixteenth. the last
race on the card. August Belmont's Lord of the
Vale made the running until we'll into the stretch
: when Miller brought Dandelion up with a rush
ana coming on won cleverly by a length Ceder-
strome had strong following in this race and
was backed from to l TO to l. but finished
bad last after showing some early speed. Co
Between found 100 pounds too much and failed
to close with his usual bulldOglike rush. after
/ being Outrun in the early part
The other winners were w. H. Daniel, Tod
dies and Mary Morris All three were strong
second choices. Moyea was the favorite over
W. II. Daniel in the second race on the strength
Of their last meeting. when he beat the Wools-
thorpe colt length Those who had watched
that race closely, however, and saw w. H. Daniel
run all over the track, pTofited well by going
back to him yesterday. He had outside posi-
h ton at the post. and while he bore to tbs
I outside rail, could not go far and was forced
20 run straight the rest of the way He won
| as he pleased. while Moyea finished outside the
money. Toddes after many disappointments

I third race. Paul j. Rainey's Anna May was
