CARELESS JOCKEY
 SCORES NEAR LOSS

New York, June 12.-(Special)- )-In the most sensational finish of the meeting at Gravesend, Hilarious, the cold belong ing to James R. Keene, captured the Carlton stake this afternoon. Butwell, who had the mount, furnished all the ex- citement through his carelessness. With the race well in hand swinging into the stretch he took matters easy and started to pull up his mount before he reached the wire. Guy Jones, the pilot of Joe Madden, took the situation in like a flash and whipping the Hildreth runner like a furry got up within an eylash of Hilarious. The shrieks of the bs'ckers of Hilarious woke up Butwen and ne just managed to shoot over the line hrst. If Hilarious had lost there would nave been just reasons to suspend Butwell for the balance of the season. When he re- turned to the paddock Jimmy Rowe, the trainer for Kenne, grabbed Butwell and read the riot act to him. The finish that ButWell put up was a duplicate of Not ter's ride last year at Belmont when he eased up Colin too soon and just man aged to beat Fair Play a nose. Fayette captured third money by head,
 Waldo, the Swift Planudes colt, made 1t three straight when he tincanned nome in the Manhassett two length ahead or Dull Care. Waldo carried a ton of pub lie money at evens. Angeron set the pace until the home strenth was hit when Butler gave Waldo his head and ne flew by the leaders. After he got in the lead it was only a breeze.
 The Greater New York Steplechase was a present to Sanctus, Paul J. Halhey clever timber topper, which was heavily played at 9 to 20 Harry Stone, who took the mount to the front at the drop of the flag, was never headed.
