DRIVING FINISHES RULE
Newcastle Stable Runs One,
Two in Handicap.
GUY FISHER BY A HEAD
Beats Starbottle After Head
and Head Finish Through
Last Sixteenth.

Close and driving finishes in four OF the
six races at the Empire City track, near
Yonkers, yesterday added some spice and
excitement to an afternoons racing that
otherwise had little to recommend it. The
fields were of good size and in most cases
we'll balanced. but favortes Jared badly.
The Newcastle Stable ran one, two with
Danger Mark and ROYAL Meteo- in the
Winged Foot Handicap in spite Of the fact
that they were conceding big weight 10
their three opponents Quincy Belle fur
nished some competition until Strengthened
out for home when she dropped BACK
beaten. Royal Meteor bore out in the run
through the stretch, so that his stable COM
panion, Danger Mark, running straight and
true, won under a mild hand ride.
Bell Horse, one of the highest priced
yearlings sold last year, again was tTled
and found wanting. He may improve VITA
more racing, but yesterday, under 20
pounds. could never keep within striking
distance of the leaders.
August Belnlont's Starbottle. which has
been chasing the best three-year-olds OF the
season in most of his races this year. had
a chance to redeem himself in less dis
tirgUished company in the third race, but
failed by tho narrow margin Of a short
head TO earn brackets He was mex to
last rounding the first turn after being
pfnched off at the start, and had a lot to do
to reach a contending position. He ran up
strongly after turning for home. and 1t
looked for A few strides as II he would
come on and win easily. but Guy Fisher
proved the gamer in the hard drive through
the last sixteenth
Restigouche and Nimbus were the ia
vored cnes with the crowd, but both failed
miserably under the weight and at the dis
tance. Restigouche shook Nimbus off ap-
preaching the far turn. but stopped him
self in the stretch when most was re-
Qured. and finished far BACK.
Walsh may have been doing his best with
GiIpy in the second race, but the crowd
looked on with some show of astontShment
as he eased his mount up in the stretch
when it looked as If he still had a fghtns
chance It was a peculiar performance
and aroused much unfavorable criticism.
Galley Slave owed his victory in part to
the clever handling of Shilling, who rated
him cleverly behind the pace to the head
of the stretch and then brought him along
with well timed rush Galley Slave has
earned the reputation OF being q speedy
horse that stops. Shilling proved yester-
cay that under proper handling the colt
could come from behind and win.
Cherryola, making her first appearance in
the East this year, won the 18th race af-
ter q spirited drive with Marigot, and
again the victory was due largely to Shil-
ling's strong finish. p. 7. Wilson, jr.'s
Mexoana, which after the retirement of
Ocean Bound last year was ranked as the
best two-year-old tilly in training, failed,
as she did at Belmont Park. to carry her
great speed more than a half mile. She
went swinging around the far turn four
lengths in front, but stopped almost to a
walk in the stretch.
Danfeld, which ran such a remarkable
race on Saturday, when he finished second
to Campeon after being practically left at
the post, rewarded his followers by beating
Lad OF Langden and Ardri in the last race
in spite of the fact that he was running
out of his distance. Doyle nursed him
home, however, after forcing the pace all
the way.
