then fell back. Orlene was in nice
place at the stretch. but found the
route too far. Arimo, after his stable
mate reached him, was pulled up at
the final quarter.
James Blute. who advised the pur-
chase OF Carey. evidently had his
! weather eye to the fore. as the horse
has since captured several races, in
cluding the Santa Anita handicap. His
victory yesterday more than tripled
the purchase price.
Jockey Knapp was presented with
$500 by Mr. Carman, who had backed
his horse considerably.
Josie's Jewell was made favorite at
even money for the first race, but
heavy play soon forced her odds to 3
to 5. Bologna opened at s to l and re-
ceded to Is to 1 at post time, while
LuCrece closed at to 1.
The start was good and Bologna
opened up gap of four lengths, which
she held to the judges stand. Lucrece
was third until the stretch was reached,
where she moved up fast and in a
drive saved the place honors from
Josie's Jewell. The latter was un-
lucky to lose, as she was interfered
with on the first turn and lost several
lengths.
Balbus. at to /, captured the sec
ond race at four furlongs for 2-year-
olds, from Creston, which was coupled
in the betting with Harvel as the Grif-
fifth entry and held as favorite at 8
to 5. Koerner on Creston did not make
n move on the colt all through the
stretch. Apparently Creston could not
have lost with any kind of ride.
This boy at times puts up some of
the best finishes and rides ever seen
at Ascot and then again an exercise
boy makes him look cheap when it
comes to closing.
Martha Jane, away none too we'll, fin
ished with a rush. Miss Ruth showed
a good turn of early speed, but stopped
in the stretch. Banonica refused to
break with his field.
Colonel Jack Wins
Col. Jack closed about equal favor
lite with Ampedo in the third race,
while Greene was always as good as
to 1. The others We're only nibbled
at by the long shot pikers. Col. Jack,
away well, made every post a winning
one and when Ampedo got within a
length of him, turning into the stretch,
he drew away and won handily.
Ampedo was second easily. Greene
ran third all the way and never left
the show money in doubt. The others

Elmdale was backed from to / to
an even money favorite in the fifth
race. Banlada closed at 4 to l. Otto
Price receded in the betting from to
to ] and Irish Mail was always as
good as IL to l. The start proved poor,
as Elmdale was turned sideways be-
hind four horses, while Otto Price
beat the gate by five lengths and was
never headed, to win by the same dis
tance.
Taos was second for the first half
when Banlada came up and in a drive
| took the place money from Irish Mail
which came from far back in the
stretch. Taos quit badly an eighth
out. Elmdale had no chance with the
start.
Niblick. the to 5 favorite, took the
lead in the sixth race and never re-
linquished it. winning as his rider
pleased by four lengths. Chancellor
Walworth got to within a length OF
the leaders at the far turn, but when
put to a drive stopped badly and could
not stall off Stoessel's determined chal-
lenge, losing the place to him. Co
tillion was bumped into the fence at
the start and had no chance Redwood
showed good turn of early speed and
is about duo to win in cheaper COM
paay.
Jockey Musgrave was set down ten
days by Starter Hoffman for bad be-
havior at the post in the second race
II. IT. Griffin attended Ascot yester-
day to see his 2-year-olds perform in
the second race.
Jockey w. Knapp carried off the rid
ing honors of the day, as he rode both
handicap winners, w. II. Carey and
col. Jack. Knapp is riding better now
than at any other time during his lone
career on the turf and bids fair to be
the leading jockey on the eastern
tracks this summer. He headed the
list Of winning Jockeys around New
York two years ago and is undoubt-
edly the best jockey on the Pacific
