ANGELUS CAPTURES
CITY PARK DERBY
FROM GOOD FIELD
Chapultepec and Meellck
Badly Beaten by Three
Lengths.

the colors OF the Burlew-O NELL combl-
nation. turned the tables on Meelick.
the winner Of last Saturdays Crescent
Derby, by capturing the $4,000 City
Park Derby this afternoon in the re-
markably fast time OF 2.0f 2-5. -Four
lengths behind the winner was Chapulte-
pee, the stablemate Of Angelus. and
bringing up the rear Of the money d.
vision vas MeeIick, two lengths behind
Chapultepec.
The victory was a sumner TO the th0E-
sands that crowded the stand and lawn
Of the new course. The easy victory of
Meelick last week made him appear 70
be invincible in the stake today, and
over $40, 900 was bet on him at the short
odds OF ! 10 2. The Burlew stable was
second choice at II TO o, and was pTac-
ticaIly unbacked. Chapultepec was con-
ceded by the regulars 10 be the one
that would capture the place. and he
was held at the prohibitive odds Of
10 !, for second money, while Angeius
was as good as to 20 for place Pin
kola, the other starter, was totally neg
lected AT 10 10 1.
Chapultepec Starts Well.
The same field Of four that faced the
barrier In the Crescent City classic
wore colors in this afternoons rich
event When they lined Up at the web
bling, Chapultepec displayed his usual
nervousness and caused delay OF three
minutes. Mcdaniel managed 70 get him
/ around in a nice position when Starter
Dade pressed the button ana sent the
: quartet on their great struggle.
| ChapuItepec was the first 10 show,
with AIeelick a neck away, and Angeius
a length behind. They passed the
| stand In this order, With each boy
having a strong clutch on the reins-
After going a quarter Chapultepec
could not be withheld. and Mcdaniel
had TO let him travel al a heart-DreaA-
/ ing mace. When he had stepped The
| first half some clocks caught q 2-5 as
the time. This startled the experts.
and they knew that a hard race vas in
/ progress. Chapultepec kept up this
/ terrific pace. and the six furlOngs was
! timed il 1:12 5-5.
! After passing this mark Notter let
loose a link on Angelus. and the Whit
/ uey CASTOR began TO catch up on the
leaders. At the mile post Angelus had
/ poked his nose in front in the great
/ time of l:S9 Is. Chapultepec was IN
/ second place, and Meelick lay in third
position. AS they swung out Of the
back stretch IL was seen that MeelicE
was IN trouble. Dugan was riding 10
mis- limit. and was plying the whip
furiously-
Angelus Romps Home.
When they swung into the stretch
Angelus had opened a gap Of two
lengths, and was running the easiest
OF the lot. s. aightening him out for
home hotter gaye him his head and
he bounded away from the field. As
he neared the wire the spectators
/ yelled as one and he crossed the line
to victory full OF running, Chapultepec
and Meelick were staggering at the
! finish. and Y the race had been a lit
tie further Angelus would have had an
easier victory When Joe Notter dis
mounted frankie O'NeiH threw his
: arms around Notter's neck and gave
. linn a real bear hug.
! The fast time made by Angelus up
sets all records made in .his city. He
ran as a real stake horse. and it IS
admitted on all sides that he earned
| all the credit that car he given hini-
, Angelus formerly belonged 70 Harry
| PAYNE whitney, the millionaire New
York horseman. and was bought IN
= the Whitney dispersal sale In Belmont
. Park last fall for a sum reported 10 be
$4,000. The purse today nearly doubled
> his purchase price.
