literally played the book.es did not clear
up large amount. ,.ost of the layers quit
ahead on the day, however. the game so
far at Jamaica having been a fizze for
the students of form. The most sensational
surprise of the day. which as also good
sized killing" was the runaway victory of
x. +. Wilson. jr.'s Red River in the Pan
monok handicap. six furiongs. There was
as much as 40 to / against the Fatherless
colt at one period of the speculation. hut
he was steadily backed down by those who
knew his true condition until he closed at

mando colt Superman was served up one
of the hottest tips of the day. and every
punger of note took him with confidence.
He was pounded down to 6 to ) favorite.
while Dave Johnson's Handzarra, in spite
of the fact that she won a hard race on
Friday. was widely backed for the place at

liberal support in the show books.

opening up commanding lead in the run
to the turn. HandZarra and La Laude, a
40 to | shot. went after him quickly, but
Miller got the keene colt away so sluggish
ly that he seemed to have no chance after
the first quarter had been covered. At the
head of the stretch Handzarra chucked it
up while Superman. then in his stride.
passed La Laude, as if the latter's legs were
tied. But Red River never slackened his
speed. and won the bit by five lengths

lengths over La Laude, with Gallant Dan,

Dishablle by a head. Dishabile was as

up good gallop.
one of the hardest betting propositions
of the day the Elmhurst stakes for
two year-olds. five furlongs. James r.
keene's Masks and Faces. a 3 to favorite,
with Miller up. got no part of the money.

favorite at II to 10 In the fifth race for
platers at a mile and a sixteenth. Swain
was last away from the post. but he rared
Marathon nicely, and when he reached the
head of the stretch he sent the Celia colt
to the front for easy victory by two
lengths in 80. Gilpin, backed down to 6,
after acting badly at the post. and then
being shut off half dozen times, ran into

five furlongs, by a noe. Miller had the
mount and all through the stretch it was a
fierce duel with Bob fuckers Wood Lane

just bit short but kept the place from F.
A. Forsythe's McGregor, 1 to l. by half a
length. Jack Joyners Rosario, who went
