New York. June 3-King James, the
mighty four-year-old son Of Plaudit-
Unsightly. owned by S. c. Hildreth who
bought him from John E. Madden for
S4o'VOO last year. was victorious IN the
So'VO Brooklyn handicap. one mile and
quarter, at Gravesend this afternoon.
It was under Dugan's vigorous whipping
that King James flashed past the judges
a length in front OF his stable mate.

James R. Keenes Celt, who won the
Brooklyn handicap last year. was third
three lengths away.
CeIfs Defeat Disappointing.
The defeat OF Celt was a shock 10 the
lS,o00 turf enthusiasts who had regarded
him as a sure winner. His downfall was
due to several causes. According 70 Mr.
Keene who was clearly disappointed
Celt was not thoroughly seasoned for
the race He would have done better in
all probability II he had taken part il
several races before going TO the post
for this old classic, Mr.. Keene said, but
at the same time Celt's spOrtsmanlike
owner did not have fault 10 find with
the methods Of Trainer Rowe, who IN
Mr.. Keens opinion. had done his lest. as
usual.

He was ridden by Butwen, who said
that he was carried wide on the lower
turn and was also cut of on the far
turn. an incident that prompted the boy
TO lodge a claim OF foul with the stew
ards, which Was not allowed.
HiIdrefh Laid Plans.
The victory OF King James was evl-
deEtly well planned. Before the race
it was said that Hndreth was starting
Resugouche for the sole purpose Of cut
ting out a killing race for Celt so that
when the Keene colt had run into the
ground, so to speak. King James could
move up from behind and win the stake.
Hildreth did not declare 70 win with
either CT his horses. which accounted for
the terrific duel between their jockeys
all the way down the home stretch.
ENAIS James. whose snare OF LNe money
was 5000. has won seven consecutive
races and a total of $4,000 in stakes and
purses since Hildreth bought him from
Madden, who had the great colt at Ham
burg Place.
