THE TURK REPEATS
MEXO4NA RUNS LAST.
Good Things" Go Wrong IN
Last Day at Jamaica.

The Turk ran right back to his last good
race and galloped home an easy winner OF
the Remsen Handicap, at five and one-half
furlongs. at Jamaica yesterday, defeating
such good tvo-year-olds as Grasmere Cher
ryola and Mexoana among others. In the
Lynbrook Handicap The Turk was slow
to begin and was forced to come from Tar

up eight pounds more yesterday, but with

force the pace, to race such quick BEGINNERS

come on to win as his rider pleased by

fought it out for the place, with the former
getting the decision by a short head. GFas-

the rail, where the dead track neuttallzed
to some extent the ground she saved.
The Turk Is a common looking tVo-year-
old, by Heno--Ciracelle. but ha appears to
be endowed with all the qualities that
make a good horse--speed, stamina and
courage. 1t is quite possible that he will

Gamers judgment of pace was largely
responsible for the victory of Lois Cava-

strides inside the last furlong pole and

to sulk when challenged and pulled up a

power TO get the horse home, but Golconda

the strongest finish, but Golconda proved

the lions share OF the purse.
The Ill luck which has been pursuing the
eolors of Richard Bauer was not dispelled
in the opening race. Florimel stood
