ing tn the Last EUent.

A I. Aste's Gold Lady ran a brilliant race In
winning the Occidental Handicap. at one mile
and a furiong, al Gravesend yesterday She peat
Dandelion, one Of the best Of the older horses ID
training. and McCarter, winner OF the Saratoga
Handicap and the three-year-old which ran
Peter Pan TO a neck in the Brighton HANDICAP
which ranks perhaps as the greatest race Of the
season, among others. and incidentally mace
new track record for the distance or 1:5l SO
The old record was 1:52, made by Contend with
SO pounds up In 1902. II is true that the Gold
cresf-Lady Hinlmel fIly had only feather on
her back, so to speak. and was In receipt OF nj
teen pounds, according TO the scale. from McCar-
ter but her manner OF winning impressive,
ever though Notter took no chances and rode
her out TO win by two lengths from Dandehon-
In the opinion OF many good judges Gold Lady
now ranks as the best three-year-o FLY In
training John Sanford's Veil, who performed
SO well at Saratoga. may deserve high
ranking. but unfortunately she has been retired
for the season, that a meeting between the
.vvo which would create widespread interest, Is
impossible
Dandelon was the favorite for the Occidental,
closing st s 20 &, but Gold Lady had a host of
fol-. vere and was heavily backed by Joe Yaeger
and others from 5 to I TO u to O. with 3 TO 1
the prevailing price. Kentucky Beau was IN
steady demand around to i, but the others
were more OF less neglected. McCarters price
went bac! from 6 to / &c 10 70 l. although he
had beaten Dandelion easily in the Saratoga
Handicap at practically the same dinerence Al
weight.
when II came to racing the faint hearted Ken
lucky Beau raced along in front until turning
for hcfne, with McCarter and Dandeiion IN close
attendance and Gold Lady well up When Ken
lucky Beau gave IL up at the head OF the stretch
McCarter came through on the rail and showed
tr front for q few strides, but Gold Lady quickly
took command when Strengthened out, and came
away TO a comparatively easy victory. McCar-
Ter began 20 hang at the last sixteenth pole, ana
Daudelion running strong ard true followed
cold Lady home. while Ampedo. closing with a
rush beat NcCarter head for third money
Dandelon has been second in rich stakes more
times than any other horse In recent years. he
IS consistent fellow and usually doing his best,
but 1t has been his lot TO have some other horse
come along and beat him time after time
The last race was full of incidents Frank
Lord was on his worst behavior and played
havoc at the post. He finaliys bolted and ran
into the outside rail, backing little Henry OH
and injuring the boys leg so badly that he could
not rernoi,nt After much ScurTylng around
Chandler was substituted Frank Lord still
acted like one possessed. and when the start
came after a long delay il was so bad that jack
AtKin. the faSofite. was beaten then ana there.
To make matters worse, E. Dugan, on Lao OF
I.angdon, CIT across his field SO sharply in the
first FIFTEENTH that James r. keenes Nell, the
heavily played second choice. was almost
knocked to her knees IN the crowding that fol-
lowed and was next 10 last before Miller could
get her settled back IN her stride Danoscara
escaped the interference, and forcing the pace
won ridden out from El Dorado.
Lad of Langdon finished third, but was dis
qualified by the stewards. and Z Dugan, who
had the mount was fined 5000 and suspended
for the rest Of the meeting for rough and foul
riding.
Little Henry has been linping around for sew
eral DAYS from an injury TO his leg, and the
same leg was hurt again yesterday. He was
not seriously injured, but in all probability he

Those who follow the fortunes Of the first
choices had another disastrous Gay, as Nimbus,

anything but tempting, in view of his recent bad
rsces IN better company. Those who backed

no occasion worry during any part of the
tourney, Miller had him out in front all the
way and he won eased mp. by five lengths from
the &C to 1 shot, St. Iario Those who had bet
on Aunt Rose third were lucky TO cash. as c.

The beaten favorites were Marbles. knight Of

bad start was responsible for the defeat of the
last named, but the others had excuses
worthy of the name, and were beaten on their
merits. Marbles seemed to stand cat, as the
hsndicappeTs say, in the first race, but Martha
Jane and Winning Star beat her home Martha
Jane was off badly and had to make up a lot

q. Burns was lucky TO find opening at the
head CT the stretch. where Marbles ca sied
