Hy WO real favorites and one tina
shared the honors of first ehoic
a with another horse in the sam
race came to the front yesterday, ant
while the card was not the classiest o
the meet by long ways the sport wa
all to the good and more than pleased
the large midweek crowd in attendance
Tn. first of the series of 500 purs
and handicap events which will be pu
on each week was slated as the fourtl
number on the card, and Magazine, a
the liberal price of to 2, gathered II
the pot for r. F. Carman. Burns gav'
the winner one of his good rides, anC
was half a length in front of Crestor
at the wire, Rosegal getting a poo
pilotage from Martin and finishing
third.
Because of her victory over Colone
Bob the other day Rosegal was made
opening favorite, with to as th'
good price. A plunge on Creston sen
the odds on De Arman's colt from 81
to to 1, and Rosegal slid up to ever
terms with Magazine, to being the
prevailing figures. Sir Edward me
with a play at and to l, and Pre-
tension stock was quoted at IS.
Rosegal went out of the seven fur
lcng chute rather far back, but Martif
had his luck with him and rushed th'
filly through on the rail, being seconc
to Creston at the quarter. Creston was
shuffed back and Rosegal and Maga'
zine went out like a team, the former
leading for two furlongs and then al
lowing the Carman trick to go to The
front. Pretension was close up turning
for home, with Creston fourth. but thC
latter stood a drive better and rat
Magazine to half a length at the wire
with Rosegal another half length back
to be a head in front of Pretension, and
all four driving hard.
Livius Finishes Well
One of the grandest stretch runs
made this year was shown by Livfus
the 4 to favorite for the fifth race
fWdy out OL II DIT AhS bdlh Aoi AAOA'N
Burns brought the Walhauser repre-
sentative to the front with rush anc
got up in time to win by length from
Dazzle, with Badly Used third. Liviu'
was going like a cyclone at the end, ant
the others never had a chance to ge
near him when he hit the real going.
Burns let Livius take his time, anC
at the first quarter of the mile and
quarter trip he was absolutely. Little
by little he began to pick up the bunch
and at the head of the stretch was in
sixth place, with Dazzle and Badly
Used, which were out in front all th1
way, still fighting for what looked like
the long end of the purse. When SCI
down Livius tore through like bullet
Dazzle coming away from Badly Used
to get the show change.
Duke of Bridgewater upset the calcu-
lations of the form players by driving
up at the end OF the six furlongs t.
wear down the / to 2 favorite, Har-
court. and win by a nose in the first
race. Schilling's mount had no excuses
and was simply not up to the job Of
cashing the tickets. Henry of Shenna-
mere, making his first start here, was
short a race and could do no better
than third, the others being clear out
of it all the way.
Harcourt got a nice break and i'm
mediately went out in front, leading
Duke of Bridgewater by a length a
the turn for home. The Duke was no
20 be denied and hooked up with the
favorite an eighth out, gradually get
ting UP until his nose was in front a
the wire Henry If Shennamere, aftel
being close up, tired in the final furlons
and was nearly four lengths behind th'
place horse. Spohn showed a little
early speed. but was not there wher
the running began.
Schilling's habit of winning the BABY
races was again in evidence when h
piloted Hampass, third choice in th'
betting, home ahead of Madeline Mus
grave and Coriel. P new one from III
Long stable. The race was without in
cident, the winner breaking in from
and leading all the way, being followet
by Madeline Musgrave. Coriel came oi
from fourth place when High Ormond
stopped and was half a length in from
of Ban Rose, which finished with ;
rush.
Taylor George Again
Taylor George, after a nice long rest
was made an even money favorite 70
the seven-furlong event down for dis
cussion as the third number. and in
sharp drive with Gossiper II kept hi
head in front to win by a narrow mar
gin. Sink Spring was seven length
away to take the small end of thing
from Merlingo by head. Chippew
and Confederate, both fancied aroun
to 1, were way back, the latter bein
out of the hunt all the way.
Ross lay behind the pace furnishe
by Gossiper and Chippewa for the frs
half, but Taylor George was moved u
at this point, and at the stretch tur
was leading Gossiper by length, Chip
pewa still third. When it came to tn
run only the front two figured, an
Ross put his mount over to score by
head. Sink Spring came from sevent
place and got by Merlingo in the las
few jumps.
