The most interesting feature of the race, ASIDE
from the victory of popular turf IDOL was tlo
stirring fight for the place between hlchoiS
and Paunlonok in which the former got the ue-
cision by a short head. Jack Martin, on hlck-
orv rode Paumonok so close through ule
stretch that Mountain could hardly do him run

winnings of some $4,000 last year, brings his
total m TO something over SSS0O0, within easy

Peter Pan yesterday also brought James K.
Keene's winnings for the season up TO S1o2.ooo,
IN round numbers. The Vice-chairman of the
Jockey Club headed the list of winning owners
last year with S15491S. so that, with the present
season less than half over, he has practically
reached total which was considered high at
the end of 1906.

The sport: began with the defeat OF. Roseben,
the odds-on favorite in the lightweight handicap.
first on tbe card Roseben defeated Prince
Hamburg so easily on Suburban Day that the
handicappers did not consider that the six
pounds in the latteT's favor yesterday would
change the result. They did not figure on Miller,
however who managed 10 beat the barrier with
Prince Hamburg, and earn good three lengths
on Roseben in the first few strides This handi-
cap was more than the great spT1nteT could
overcome. and Prince Hamburg led all the way
and won rather easily by two lengths.
