made new American record for
mile and hundred yards by running
the distance in 1:44A in winning the
Cascade handicap at The Meadows to-
day.
The colts achievement was espe-
cially meritorious from the fact that
he was carrying an impost or Ill
pounds and conceding from IL to 80
pounds by scale to a clever field OF
mature horses with which he was COM
peting.
Besides, he did not enjoy the best
OF racing luck, being pocketed for
good part of the race and the bulldog
courage which he displayed on secur-
ing clear sailing in the stretch
aroused anew the admiration and en-
thusiasm of local race goers. No horse
ever received a greater ovation here
than was accorded him upon his return
to the winners circle and the an
nouncement that the time of the race
represented a new American record was
the signal for a fresh outhurst.
That the colt will be an overwhelm-
Ing favorite in the Derby one week
hence is now fully assured. His feat
overshadowed the outcome OF The
Meadows selling stake, which was
scheduled as the feature of the day and
which was won in track record time
Keene stable, which showed his real
form for the first time here. Boggs
carried only 95 pounds, but won with
his ears pricking in 1881, after MAX
ing up many lengths of ground lost In
the early stages as a result of Jockey
Morgan's unpreparedness for start.
Boggs Derby stock. advanced some as
the result of his victory today, but he
is conceded only an outside chance at
best.
:. Tavora helped to make things inter-
esting for the big half holiday crowd
that enjoyed the sport by equaling
the track record for six furlongs in
winning her race. Stirring finishes
were the rule all afternoon and racing
was brilliant and formful throughout.
The success of four heavily backed
favorites enabled the public to take
large amount out of the ring.
Maurice Rapheld, John Glenn, j.
Hutchinson and Edwin Fryer joined
the local players at today's cutin, while
Johnny Lyon dropped out.
Ed Dealy boosted Fred Bent, taken
from him a few days ago by II. r.
Scatter from $1,100 to $1,000, but failed
to get, the horse back.
Jockey Rettig Cancelled engagements
for today because of slight attack of
ptomaine poisoning.
