at Belmont Park track today. Mr.. Mackay

as special inducement to the seven
jumpers that faced the starter. T. Hitch

sired by Ogden, ruled the favorites at /
to 8, while Bello. filly by Ornas. running
in the colors Of Mr.. Cotton (Mr. Gwath-
may, was In demand at 3. At the fall
of the flag Allen took Bello to the front
to set a hard pace for Clockwork. They
drew away gradually from the others and
were going smoothly when they reached
the paddock jump for the second time
There it seemed that Clockwork was cut
of so that he narrowly escaped fall
while Bello proceeded to increase her
lead.
At a Jump on the backstretch Clock
work, who had been thrown out Of his
stride, took a tumble and for a woment
or two 1t looked as IL Bello would come
home alone. But up from the ruck rushed
Oakhurst, who overhauled Bello near the
far turn. 1t was trying test of stamina
for the rest Of the Journey but under the
whip Bello got home a winner by q half

riders were unhurt.

ruled, however. but Stone, bent upon
squaring accounts with Allen, proceeded
TO the inCkpVS' where h9 made a
personal attack on Bello's rider, who was
the recipient of numerous wa1lops before
the men could be separated. The scrap
was reported to the stewards, who will
taxa action Monday, and 1t Is just possible
that Stone will be severely penalized.

When 8. c. Hildreth decided to with
draw Fitzherbert from the Belmont Park

colt he did net care to take chances of
running his turf career by sending him
such a long distance for trihe less than
