with Sam Ball right on top Of him and
Gun Cotton close UP.
Dufenld was the tip before the race,
and all the wise fish had him for a good
thing. His trainer. II. /. Stone. told his
friends that the horse could beat jesuit.
and those who had seen him school
since coming TO PimlicO were prepared
10 believe that assertion.
The surprise of the race was the jump
ing OF Sam BAH, green one from
Henry Craven's stable This one, by
the old Neville sire Contract, took his
fences like bird, and with plenty
start 10 finish With Duffield out Of
the way Sam Ball would have won
The first race Of the afternoon fur
nished a mild surprise to the talent. who
fell over each other IN their anxiety TO
back Altamaha, from the Wilson stable.
Tom Healey was very confident OF win
ming and was quite peeved after the
race.
The Wilson colt went TO the post an
even-money faVOrite, but he never had
a lOOk-in. Martin Y. Littleton jumped
off in the lead when the barrier rose,
and stayed in front to the end Alta
maha could never get within striking
distance. and was beaten by The Ras-
cal for the place.
NJ. Cambon was a 3-to-5 favorite IN
the second race, and won in the end,
but not with the ease that his hackers
figured. 1t took his life and all Ar
chibaId's skill to get him home in
front Of OXer- Cintrella ran fine
race, and with a stronger boy would
have made IL warm for all concerned
La Sale was the favOrlte in the
third race, but Big Stick hooked up
with him at the start. and, running
him into the ground, came home a
handy winner.
The NTH event. the Severn Purse.
was q lively speculative affair. Chill
ton Squaw, Eagle Bird. and Leah all
had strong backing, and the boOkies
had all they could do TO handle the
money.
Chiffon squaw set the pace from the
start. but weakened in the stretch,
when Eagle Bird. which had been
close up all the way, went 20 the front
and came home an easy first. The
lOO-to-1 shot High Flown came fast
at the finish, and beat the firing Chill
ton SqUGw for the place
The sixth race had only three start
erS-PraCtiCal. Gay DeCeiveT. and
Tasteful. Practical appeared TO far
outclass his field, and was made
S-tO-5 faVOrite.
The Belmont horse won, but he was
all out 10 beat Raj PARIS Cay De-
CeiyeT, which ran a great race. This
one is a greatly improved horse, and
in the mud IS dangerous in most any
Adams Express was thought to be a
good thing in the last race. but was
beaten OHt in a hard drive by the VIII
son StaDle 6 1uILNUunks WllCn slipped
through on the rail coming into the
stretch. and won under the whip
PharOah. as usual, showed a lot Of
early speed, but quit when the pinch
came
The track was in a worse condition
than on the day before, the hard bot
tom being broken up. Today n IS
likely 70 be very heavy and holding
and only the notorious mudlarks Will
have any chance
High Private was very sore after his
race Thursday. but limbered up some
yesterday. and may be in shape TO
race today.
Freddie" Littlefeld has shipped
Jubilee back 20 the farm The old
fellows dic<y legs went back on him,
and n was thought best TO retire him
for the season.
Garner, who was suspended for
rough riding Wednesday, will be al
lowed to ride Monday.
