HOT FINISHES MARK
EMPIRE CITY RACES
Fighting Bob Takes Feature
Event From Odds On
Fav0rite.

NEW YORK. July 17.-Whether to lay
the blame for the defeat of the odds-on
favorite. Follie Levy. in the fifth race
at the Empire City track yesterday on
her jockey, V. Powers. or to the natural
stopping propensities of the filly herself
was the problem which agitated racegoers
AS for the victor. Fighting Bob. there is
no symptom of the quitter in him. He
is well named. for he never stops con-
testing every foot of the way
Powers also nearly lost the second
race, won by Nimbus, by making too
much use of that colt. There was heavy
plunge on H. G. Bedwelrs Prince AIMED
in this race. and the excitement was keen
when 1t was seen that he was rapidly
overhauling Nimbus in the final half
furlong.
