Buena Vista Notes

The threatened selling race war be-
tween E Corrigan and z. Moyne has
been averted. Monday night the two
got together and, after brief con-
ference, Mr.. CorrIgan returned Buck
thorn. which he boosted and took from
Moyne after the last race OF the day.
Buckthorn will therefore run In the
name and colors OF MOyne this after
noon, and he viii again hook up with
the Corrigan mare, Flora Riley. in the

card. As they will meet at equal
weights. the race between them should
prove a good one
Callahan. who rode Banonica in the
fourth race, carried Pinto out when the
latter began to pass HIS mount, but the
interference did not prevent the latter
from winning. For the rough riding
Callahan was given the ground for
no avail as Pinto was much the best.

he did bear over in front Of Knight Of

gelding was beaten at the time, the
foul was not allowed
Hamper has been working well. and
those who were wise to that fact
pinned their faith to the son of Ham
burg in the fifth race with profit to
themselves.
The race for two-year-olds yesterday
was probably meant to afford a public
trial for the Juvenile stakes to be run
next Saturday and six of the eligibles
for the valuable fixture for the young
sters took advantage of It Beatrice
SOule, Milt Jones. Pawhuska. Lees
Friar. Great Caesar and Booker T are
among those from which a field for
Saturdays stake will come. and the first
named three all performed creditably.
This Is true in particular of Beatrice
Soule, who set a fast pace, but quit
badly in the final furlong. The distance
OF the stake is half a furlong shorter
than that Of yesterdays race. and that
will be in the Soule fill's favor. In this
connection II may be added that the
field in the Juvenile stakes. unlike that
in the Derby. will be a well balanced
one. and II will undoubtedly be one of
the best contests that will be seen at
this meeting.
