GREAT ROSEBEN
ENCOUNTERS DEFEAT

NEW YORK, November 1.-The races at
Jamaica yesterday were run under the most
unfavorable weather conditions. The rain
fell steadily and was made especially pene-
| trating by heavy gale that caused gen
eral shivering among the 1OGU regulars
who were on hand. After the third race the
track became slippery. so that sure footing
in the case of some horses was out OF the
question. Dave Johnson's Roseben met de-
feat in the Richmond handicap, for all
ages, six furlongs, partially because OF the
going and also for the reason that he was
asked to carry the crushing impost of 14S
pounds. Eleven horses were scratched out
of this event, leaving four to go. Roseben
was prohibitive favorite at 1 to 3, with E.
r. Thomas Halifax and Jacobite coupled
at to 2, while James McLaughlin's Oxford
went begging at 10 to l. There was lot
of place betting on Jacobite at to 5, with
to 5 against Halifax on the same PROPOSE
ton. Roseben undertook to give twenty
pounds to Halifax. twenty-nine to Jacobite
and thirty to Oxford.
When the gate went up Shaw took Rose
ben to the front at the end Of the first fur
long. But the big Splinter seemed unable
to get away from Jacobite. who had
world of speed. AS they turned into the
homestretch Jacobite hooked up with Rose
ben, who responded gamely but was per
ceptibly firing as he rushed onward: Fifty
yards from the wire Jacobite bore in and
threw Roseben onto the fence in such
manner that Shaw had to pull up short to
escape a bad fall. In the mixup Oxford,
with Miller up, closed SaIlantly ana LOOK
the race by length in lib As Shaw hur-
ried before the stewards with protest of
foul. but he was notified that claim was
unnecessary. Jacobte., therefore was
into the place. Under the rules Halifax
was also disqualified, so that as there was
little or no betting on Oxford the books
cleaned up.
