tourney too far, while perseverance d pao
acrioned son Of Meddler, had too much 10 do
-L-o,,gh the last quarter TO beat Pins and
Needles which won rather cleverly by two
lengths Miller had the mount on Pins and
Needles and his followers were the only ones
who profited by the victory. The boy rode one
of his good races and by waiting patiently be-

had raced each other into the ground, as race
goeTs say.
Momentum. which won the first race, and
First Premium, which staggered home in the
handicap, at one mile and a sixteenth, were the
winning favorites. Momentum was never IN
serious danger, although he was doing MS beSt
through the last sixteenth 10 win from Belle OF
Iroquois August Belmonts Don Enrique had
strong following in this race. but was IN such
close quarters in the early part that he failed

e scant length by Jack Atkin-
First Premium was lucky to win the handi-
CAP third on the card. as Old Honesty was the
better horse al the weights The good three
yesr-old was crowded back on the far turn, Tor
which First Premium seemed 10 blame, ana
later was in such tight quarters on the rail- IN
the run through the stretch that MusgraVe could
not begin TO do him Justice The boy took a oes-
perate chance 10 win and sent Old Honesty
through an opening that was altogether too mar

Orbicular made the early running, with First
Premium at his heels. but he hung in the final
drive and First Premium, taking command,
lasted lust long enough TO win under Radtke's
vigorous finish. Melbourne had a stormy jour
rey and Notter could not seem 10 get him settled
;n his stride before his chances were hopelessly
ruined. Yankee Girl looked well. but does not
appear 20 be within pounds Of her best form
She was pinched of at the start, but did not
make up enough ground 10 indicate that she
would have been contender under any condf-
tions.
Tom McGrath was a hot favorite al even
money for the Bayshore Stakes. but Jacobite,
which he beat easily at Saratoga, took his
measure and with plenty TO spare by
two lengths. after racing Lady Anne into sub
mission rounding the turn. Tom McGrath could

John Sanfords Fort Johnson the best
horse in the second race but Nicol rode a bun
Cling finish after making entirely too much use
Of him in the early part. and Halket wore him
down and won by the action Of nod. August
BelmOnts Antaus was played for q killing" in
this race and was backed from TO 10 TO 2.

10 have had too much racing. He was in g. good
position rounding the turn. but hung when most

Killiecrankie turned one Of those form soTner-
saults for which she is famous by winning the
af:h race. at q mile and a quarter, at the good
price OF 20 70 ! WoolstOne was quietly played
by a wise few at q fancy price but il took so
much OF him TO race Aster dor, the favor
tJe, into submission that he could not withstand
the winners challenge and had 10 be content
with second money. Prince Hampton. which won
his last race on the turf at Sheepshead Bay,
performed like the CHEAPEST kind Of a selling
platter and finished SO far back that il was hard
believe that he was the same horse. Lancas-
trian and Missouri Lad were others Of which
much more was expected than they showed in
their races.
Miller earned the Jockey honors. riding two
winners. Buxton. Frank Farrells new jockey,
rode q perfect race on killiecrankie and re-
deemed himself in part for his poor work on
Monday.
