SETS NEW TRACK RECORD

Son Of Ethelbert Ronps
to Victory.


easily in the remarkably fast time of 81
for the mile and furlong. In the absence
of Shilling. who was under SUSPENSION,
Archibald had tne mount. and, outside of
getting off badly and running into AT least
two pockets, ne rode pretty well. The horse
was so good, however. that stable boy
could have ridden him to victory without
half trying.
Dalmatian not only established track
record By cutting four-ffths OF a second of
the old mark made by Pinl1oIa with only
ninety seven pounds up but ran within
second of the worlds record of so set by
Charles Edward over the lightning fast
crack ar Santa Anita Park, California. in
1908. with 10 pounds up.
Stanley Fay and Hanbridge chased Dal-
rnatian home and so carried off the smaller
parts of The $4,000 purse. while Everett and
FauntIeroy came trailing in with Apache
and BeaucoIp- Everett had = particularly
storm journey. and with Fountleroy was
lucky to escape a had fail, as both horses
raced through the stretch with bandages
dangling and n danger every stride of step
ping on the loose ends and crashing TO the
track. E Martin was forced to pull n
Everett al least three times in the race, the
boy getting out Of one pocket only 10 run
into another The colt moved no strongly
on the rail turning for home, but again was
shut off At d critical moment.
s Q. Hildreth scratched Fitz Herbert, but
added Hampton Court to help out Dal1na-
tian. if help should be needed Il looked
for a time as If he had done wisely. rs
Hampton court helped force the early pace
with Apache and Hanbridge while Dalma-
tian, after getting off badly. was trailing
around The first turn in last place some
eight lengths behind the leaders
Approaching the far turn Hanbridse
shook of Apache and Hampton Court and
raced 10 the front with Stanley Fay in close
pursuit but Just when II looked as if he
might come away - win Dalmatian loonIed
I'D on the outside. For few strides at the
last furlong pole the three horses raced
head and head, bat class told and Dalma-
tian drew out in the most impressive fashion
to win as ne pleased
Mr. Hildreth did not forget himself and
Join the big half holiday crowd in the wild
roar that went up. but his face betrayed
the keen satisfaction and pride he felt in
owning such a great colt Fitz Herbert
himself could not have done more ana Mr..
Hildreth expressed the opinion that there
were few II any horses in the country that
could have beaten Dalnatian yesterday al
anything like even weights. net excepting
Olambala, Ballot u Maskette-
Elliot c Cowdin I'd. rode like a Tod
Sloan in winning the amateur race with
Faultless. and well deserved the trophy,
valued at $500 which went 10 the rider OF
the winner. After going to the front at
the FIST turn and getting good position,
he waited patiently while Ashwell forced
the pace by opening UP gap OF two or
three lengths rounding the turn. When
Strengthened out for home Mr.. Cowdin

strong finish. brought Faultless UP to win
driving by a scant length.
James Butler. jr.. son of the president
and chief owner of the Empire City Racing
Association, had the mount on George
Odoms Ashwell. and, to his credit be 1t
said he got more out Of the horse than the
professional jockeys who have been riding
him recently. II is just possible that Mr.
Butler made bit tOo much use Of Ashwell
rounding the turn, but the horse was gal
foping along so smoothly that it might
have been fatal to take up, with the chance
Of pulling him out Of his stride Be that
as il may Ashwen tired inside the last
furlong pole and was not strong enough TO
withstand the resolute challenge from
FauitIess. although Mr. Butler drew his
whip and used IL in the most approved
fashion
Tommy Wright OF Baltimore, generally
considered about the best amateur rider in
the country could not do better than finish
third with Wilton Lackaye, the quoted IA
Vorite- The son OF ST James was slow to
Settle in his stride, and traied mis- field
most of the way. He was closing IN the
stretch and would have been second in a
few more strides O F. Fleischmann rode
his own horse. DullCare, bat the Hastings
