weather that threatened rain. The at
traction was the hundred
dollar Yonkers handicap at a mile
and a sixteenth, which was run over
heavy track Fashion Plate, with
Scoyille UP instead of the ONeal
stables regular jockey, H. Smith, was
made the choice at to l, with James T.
Gaffney's Alfred Noble a lukewarm sec
ond choice at 3. The best played horse IN
the race, however, was the Mclaughlin
filly, Arondack, who was backed from o
to 4, while August Belmont's Half SOW
ereign was also in demand at TO :. MI
Gaffney did not bet on his ten-thousand-
dollar horse because he believed that the
going and the sharp turns might prove
severe handicap, and in THIS opllioi nc
was supported by many sharp students OF
form. >. a.
Vincent Powers took Alfred Noble 10
the front at the start ana the sou VI
Garry Hermann led until he nad gone
perhaps half mile. Then Fashion Fiate

same sale, and year ago last spring IN
California, Rose Queen gave twelve
pounds and a beating to Trance. Rose
Queen had been sold at that time TO ner
present owner for $4,000, and since then
she has won nearly SlU,oOo In STAKES ana

to TO- made show of her field, running
in the front with a world of speed and
breezing home in hand with four lengths

tensively on County Fair at 4 to IN the
second race at mile and sixteenth
