was a newcomer to Washington gentle
men Jockeys, deserves praise Cor bring
ing the victory to his mount. Wright Is
young man who has ridden very few
races. but his work at Baltimore during
the Pimlico meet was heralded at Ben
ming. and he was picked 10 outride any
Of the gentlemen who would race with
him. New York and Niblick were equal
favorltes when the horses were called to
the post New York opened at Z to >, and
Niblick at TO / QuadTille was also
chalked up at the same price. The friends
OF Dion Kerr were so sure that he could
get Niblick home first that they support
ed his mount heavily which accounts for
New York going back slightly in the
market
Chester Kerr get way first with Quad
rifle. and led 70 lhe stretch. where Quad
rifle. usually haro to handle in turning
the bend, ran out me the middle Of the
track. but the younger Kerr was for
tunate in holding the bad performer as
well as he did Mr.. Wright saved ground
with New York. and, closely hugglng the
rail. reaped the advantage Of his careful
ride. and got up TO both Quadrilie and
Niblick at the sixteenth pole. Riding
with all his skill. Wright showed New
York's heels TO his company. and won
with plenty TO spare. The young rider
had a Baltimore following. and when he
returned to the judges stand and car
ricd away the valuable cup, he was
cheered. Quadrille tired in the drive and
Niblick was an easy winner Of the place.
Cederstrome the Best.
Lord Of the Vale, who was sold on
Day by August Belmont to
+. W. HeaIey, again failed 10 win his
race. He was entered in the mile and
one-eighth event with eight others, and
rated close TO Cederstrome in the betting.
Miller was carded 10 ride the Lord, and
it was hard TO separate him from Ceder-
strome, who had run well here, hut was
disqualified once for foulins Banker
Pater was the third choice. and the 9th
crs were held at long prices. II was
a splendid race between Lord Of the Vale
and Cederstrome for a mile, with Ceder-
strome on the rail head from his con-
tender. When Strengthened out for the
ruD down the stretch, Lord Of the Vale
had a slight lead. but Cederstrome was
urged by Horner. and he came away at
the end and won by a length and half
with Lord Of the Vale a safe margin in
front Of Pater. The rest of the party
never had chance.
J. Z. MaddeH's good two-year-Old colt
Temmcraire won cleverly in the first
race. with Miller in the saddle. He
opened at ! to ., but the price was scorn-
cd by the talent, and the strorg play on
Lady Vera and Belle Strome sent TEN
meraire's price up 10 s 70 .. Miller, as
usual. got away in front, and led by q
length or more every inch of the way,
and Temmeraire was only breeZing at
the finish Belle Strome was OUTRAGED in
the last furlong, and had to be hustled
along smartly TO stall off BivOuac. who
came with a rush toward the end
Keene's CabOchOn Repeats.
Miller won the second race with James
+. Keene's Cabocbon, who has shown a
liking for the Benning going. Yorkist got
heavy support toward the close of the
market. and Caboch9n advanced to 10
I. Lee Harrison II and Old Colony were
considered the best Of the others. I'm
Drella and Lee Harrison made the most
of the running. while Miller was lengths
back with Cabochon, but he closed up on
the leaders N the turn. and came
through easily and scored on the bit.
Yorkist collared Old Colony a furlong
out, and took the place in easy style
while Umbrella stopped and was badly
beaten.
Marster was a defeated 4-tO-5 favorite in
the fourth race, a mile run over the Co
lumbia course. Cloisteress was well play
ed, and the fact that Miller had won two
races and was TO have the leg up on How
About You, brought out the usual Miller
crowd to bet their piles on the horse
with the odd name. Marster looked like
winner LOT tHItt-ludTltfS OF a sGlie,
but Cloisteress raced Marster of his feet
turning into the stretch, and both Water
bearer and How About You passed the
favorite. Cloisteress had to be pressed to
the end.
PretensiOn Tired I'm End.
James Healey's Avaunteer won the fifth
race at enc mile, and E. A ChInn's Pre-
tension finished in the ruck. Pretension
was asked to shoulder 12S pounds, Is
more than Avaunteer drew; but even
with the big difference in the weights
PTetension's hackers thought he so far
outclassed his company that he could
carry the burden to victory. Willie
Shields Reidmore and Avaunteer were
the pacemakers, and Pretension raced in
the third position the greater part of the
Journey. but he tired toward the end. and
Avaunteer never had to be extended to
win Luretta got the place from Reid
