THE SQUIREBEATEN
POOR RIDE BY DUGAN.
County Clerk Wins Long Race
Under Good Handling.


E. Dugan rode a race on The Squire
In the handicap at one mile and fur
long at Jamaica yesterday that aroused
much unfavOrable criticism. Instead Of
taking the Prince of Melbourne gelding
to the front. where he likes TO run. he
tried 70 place him and in SO doing got his
mount into all sorts Of difficulties, which
I'm the opinion of many. cost the purse.

Far West raced 10 the front approaching
the far turn and in so doing shut The
Squire off. To overcome this Z. Dugan
made his move 100 quickly in rounding
the home turn. so that The Squire was
carried wide. leaving an opening on the
rail for BoaueOup big enough TO drive a
team through. Creevy. on the last named.

opportunity, and the Ornament colt came

been the best horse at the weights, but

then brought his mount through to win,
ridden out, by a length.
County Clerk won the selling race at
one mile and a half because Shilling
clearly Outrode Upton on Belleview and
McCahey on Bonnie Kelso. The boy rated
his mount cleverly for mile and a quar-
ter and made his run in the stretch after
BeIleview had succeeded in racing Bonnie
Kelso into submission. In the opinion
of a number OF good judges Upton made
too much use OF Belleview in the first
mile. but the trouble lay in the fact that
the early pace was not fast enough for
the Bel Demonio gelding to show to the
best advantage. After the race d. Wood
ford, who trains Belleview for the Bever-
wyck Stable, bid County Clerk up 500
over his entered selling price of $500 and
secured him for 500.
Twilight Queen and Jeanne dare
fought out a bitter duel in the first race
at six furlOngs, and the former won by
a short head after carrying Jeanne d Arc
wide at the head of the stretch. For
this piece of sharp practice Shilling. on
Jeanne dare, claimed a foul, but so far
as could be seen from the stand there
was no direct interference, and the stew
ards felt the same way, as the claim
was dismissed. Glass rode a perfect race
on the winner. and the same may be said
of Shilling on Jeanne dare. The latter
horse had the most to do, as she was on
the outside all the way. When the two
leaders went wide at the home corner ii
opened the way for E. Dugan to save q
couple of lengths with Royal Captive II
looked for a time as If this advantage
would be enough to give the Golden Maxim
hIly the victory, but she hung badly in
the closing strides. EarFs Court was
pinched off rounding the far turn, which
ended any chance he may have had.
Patsy had a stormy journey in the sec
ond race and was plainly the best horse
at the weights. Creevy was not ready
when the barrier went up and lost a lot
of ground by going up on the outside al
the paddock turn, where he was carried
vide The boy made up the lost grOunC
gradually, however. and by dint Of hard
riding got his mount home three parts OF
a length before Paradise Queen. Fain

no mistakes He saved ground on thC

last turn when SpellbOund and ShapdalC

strong finish too. and the filly was beateI
on her merits. Siskin was running on IL
the stretch and should earn purse be
fore the meeting is over.
Shilling. who is riding in excellen
form. followed up his success with COun

in the last race. Calypte tired after fore
ing the pace, and Sou, which ran VI
strongly at the turn for home. huns
badly when it looked as if she would
come on and win. Our Hannah stopped
as usual after showing early speed.
