Hill Top Wins ROslyn Hand'-
cap in a GalIOp.

August Beluont's Field Mouse proved
d!sappointment in the Roslyn Handicap OF
r.5oo at Adueduct yesterday. on her last
soed race at Jamaica she appeared 10 out
class her field, but she went TO the post
trllt in flesh and could not carry her speed
over the mile distance, barely lasting long

FOR six furlongs Dr. Hozberg was the
horse which raced Field Mouse into sub

Banno,bhurn fell an easy prey TO Hiu Top,
which closed with a rush in the last fur-
long and furnished a stunning surprise py

ner Hill Top has not been seen with
colors up since the meeting at Saratoga
Springs. but the rest has done her good,
as she rarely IL ever ran better race.
Hill Top was not the only surprise-ih
fact il was a day Of upsets in which
horses which looked like sure winners
failed utterly TO run 10 form or eXpecta-
tions. Black Mary in the first race, Bang
in the third and Siskin in the fifth raced to
easy victory and caused the handicappers
TO wonder how it all happened
Slskin was overlooked to large extent
IN the fifth race in an effort to decide be-
tween the relative merits of Black Mate
and The AIinks, and he was soon forgotten
IN the early part of the race, as he was
q bad last in the run up the backstretch
some eight or ten lengths behind BLACK
Mate and Black OAK the pacemakers. 1t
was a different story at the end. however.
for he not only made up the lost ground
half way down the long straight, but came
away to win in the biggest kind of romp'
In Siskin's last race at Jamaica Z. Dugan
killed him of in the first six furlongs ana

was called TO the poor ride at the tlme'

justified the criticism

the ruck. she hung badly and finished far

part. settled down TO racing when all too
late, but just failed TO get up in time to
earn third money
Racquet. claimed on Tuesday from P. S
p Randolph by julie Carson, met his one
time bic companion Patsy in the second
race and suffered defeat There was no
good line between them. but Patsy was
preferred by the wise ones and the conf
dence was not misplaced. Racquet showed
the way rounding the turn, but Patsy
moved up at the last furlong pole and
proved the gamer in a whipping finish
Bang, which was served up as good
thing in a cheap maiden race on Tuesday
and failed to run prominently, furnished
surprise in the third event, at seven fur
longs yesterday, by coming from behind
and beating Captain Swanson and Glenna-
deane in q three-horse race. Captain Swan
son forced the pace, but tired under the
weight when Bang challenged half way
down the stretch
Ben Loyal tried 10 make runaway race
OF the closing event, bat Everett, after dis
posing of Galley Slave, came on and won
in a spirited drive.
James Butler, president of the Empire
City Racing Association. was at the track,

with cast iron sheeting. TO mae it more
comfortable for racegoers at the meeting
