another good thing, into early defeat
and had enough left to stall off the re-
peated challenges of Kingthorpe, who
was the closest in pursuit all the way,
after going the first quarter. King
thorpe ran a splendid race but was not
quite good enough for the winner.
Fete had all the bad luck in the race
and after being buffeted about in the
race came with a rush in the run
through the stretch and was wearing
the leaders down at the finish. With
an even break, F~te might have been
serious contender in the race.
Trappe was prominent in the early
stage, but the pace told on her and
she dropped back after going a good
half. Ansonia, who was one Of the
bottled-up good things in the race,
finished in. the last position.
Sidda D. Wins in a Drive.
Sidda D., the third choice in the
betting, had the race of her life to
defeat the field that went to the post
in the last race of the day My Rosa
and Expect to See were supposed to
be the good things of the race and
they were played to the exclusion of
everything else. Expect to See was
perhaps the heaviest played of the two
and carried the commissions of the
wise contingent at the track. Sidda
D. had the most foot and assumed the
lead after going the first quarter,
racing the good thing, Expect to See,
into defeat and had enough left al
the finish to stall off the rush of My
Rosa in the closing strides. The rat
ter was much the best in the race
and was messed about after the start
and it was not until the back stretch
was reached that she was on her
stride. Then coming with rush at
the finish, almost got up in time, Sidda
D. lasting long enough TO take the
long end of the purse by a neck My
Rosa had no contention for the place,
taking it by three lengths from Altar,
who finished flee lengths in front of

The weather conditions yesterday
were ideal for racing and good
crowd took advantage Of the pleasant
weather and spent the afternoon at
the track. Those who went to witness
the days racing were well repaid, as
the contests in a majority of the
events were close enough to be inter
esting The most notable incident
during the afternoon was that the
sure-thing gentry fell in a heap on
several of the races and the small fry
cashed on a majority of the events
and received good prices for their
wagers. Lukewarm favorites pre-
vailed generally throughout the after
noon and in two of the races the
prices against the winners were ex-
tremely good, considering their past
performances.
BaIeshed Takes the First.
Baleshed, the favorite in the first
race at four and a half furlongs, had
the most speed and went under the
wire winner by length in front of
Tallow Dip, who was held at a liberal
price in the speculation. Alice Mack
was the choice of the sure-thing play
ers and they hammered her price
from three to one to two to one when
LIE uOTSeS were Called TO the post.
Dry Dollar was also well favored in
the betting and carried some heavy
commissions. The delay at the post
was short one and Baleshed, after
going the first eighth, assumed the
lead, racing Dry Dollar into defeat and
had no trouble in shaking off Tallow
Dip in the final run to win with plenty
in reserve. AS the barrier was re-
leased Serenade was caught in it, de-
stroying whatever chance she had in
the race and leavin CHER practically
at the post. Alice Mack, the choice
of the sharp-shooters, also refused to
leave the barrier with the field, and
after getting away sulked the rest of
the way and finished in the last posi-
ton.

COUNTERFEIT
NOTE CHARGED
TO BLACK MAN
ALLEGED THAT NOSE OWENS,
NEGRO, ARRESTED AT MOLINA,
HAD PASSED BAD COIN ON A
BLACK WOMAN LATELY.

Nose Owens, darkey, was brought
In from Moline, Fla, last night
charged with having passed bad
money. The man was at first arrest
ed for passing counterfeit money, but
he alleged that IL was no money at all,
but that II was a Confederate note
and that he had asked for change and
II was given him. Owens claims that
he sold" the bill for $40 to a negro
woman, and that the trade was made
in the dark. He said that he knew
II was not counterfeit money. The
negro was captured by Deputy Law
son, and he could not make bond last
night. He spent the night in the
county Jail.
The worthless money, it was
charged, was passed by Owens some
time ago, and as soon as the negro
heard the officers were after him he
skipped out for Alabama Yesterday
he returned to Moline and was prompt
ly arrested.
Owens Is negro who has been in
trouble before, and his reputation is
not good around the neighborhood in
which he lives. There was quite a
Joke related about him and a deputy
some time since. The negro had been
arrested and taken over to the rail-
road station. Chained, it was thought
be would not attempt to get away, and
I was thought that he would be safe
The train was late that morning and
he deputy, feeling drowsy, dropped
,ff to sleep. When he opened his
eyes, the negro had vanished, and it
was not until yesterday that another
officer got his hands on him. The ne
gro laughed about that escapade when
be reached the city last evening.

went to him as if it was all over but
the cashing. Goldsmith and Bobby
Cook were the only others in the race
that were given thought by the
PLAYERS and they were we'll played but
principally for the short ends of the
purse.
Donaldo was the first to get away
when the barrier was released and set
the pace for the first quarter. Judge
Dundon then assumed the lead, racing
Donaldo into defeat, and had enough
left at the end to shake off San Primo,
one of the outsiders in the betting
who came with a rush in the run
through the stretch, taking the second
place from Bobby Cook by a half a
length.
Donaldo. after following the pace
keenly to the turn for home, gave up
the fight and finished next to last.
Goldsmith. one of the choices in the
race. could never extend himself and
trailed the field all the way.
M. Depres a Surprise.
With ten to one against his chances
NJ. Depres upset the calculations OF
the wise fish and romped home an
easy winner. Chenault was the natural
favorite in the race but the heavy
play on the chances of Fatherllde
caused his price to go up to even
money when the horses were called to
the post. Fatherlide in the meantime
was played and from his opening
price of three to one, six to five was
the best to be had at post time
Every stable boy and sharp-shooter on
the track seemed to know of the
good thing and he was played as if II
was all over. Fatherlide drew the in
side position and Chenault next to him
The delay at the post was occasioned
bv Carroll on the favorite crowdins
those on the outside of him to the out
side fence and when the field was lei
go a lam occurred in which Messenger
Bow and Vamos were the chief suffer
ers. NJ. Depres, cutting across the
field, assumed the lead and made every
post a winning one, going under the
wire a winner as his rider pleased
Fatherlide was an easy second, while
Messenger Boy, who came with rat
tie at the end, took the third place
from the favorite, Chenault.
Scotch Lass Good Thing.
Scotch Lass was one Of the gOOc
things of the meeting. While the
price against her chances was small
she never at any stage of the race
gave her hackers any uneasiness
Cole got the good thing off awingins

Six Good Jockeys for
Eastern Tracks Season

longed to Mr.. Randolph, but was
claimed out of selling race during
the fall meeting at Aqueduct by julie
Carson and was afterward sold to
Hildreth. In the hands OF Hildreth
the horse showed good form, and will,
no doubt, be useful animal this year
in his class.
Those who visited Juarez during the
winter racing season, and saw the
work of the young rider Garner, de-
clare that he is one of the best light
weight riders that this country has
had in some years, possibly since the
days of Miller, when the little east
slider could ride at ninety pounds.
Garner began to make a name for
himself last fall on the local tracks,
and was taken west by Earl Linnell,
who has brought him UP in the way
riders should be educated.
He rode many winners in Mexico
and his judgment is good in long
races, and for boy of his weight and
wears he can finish with the best
riders operating He will do nearly
all the riding for Tom Welch's stable,
even in the stake races, though he
will probably be able to scale at a
shade over ninety pounds.
1t is said that r. F. Carman has two
fair riders in O'Fain and Langdon.
Drain is very good over a distance of
ground, but is not SO capable at the
post as he might be. Carman is said
to prefer -Langdon as a general rider,
but he has not shown anything extra
ordinary to date.

New York, April 6.-When one
looks over the jockeys who are likely
to ride here this coming season it will
be found that about half dozen or
more are masters of the art of race
riding. In speaking of the subject
yesterday a well-known racing official
intimated that it is doubtful if any
country in the world can boast Of six
better riders than Butwell, Dugan,
Powers, Schilling, Garner and hotter
all of whom will ride Oh the New York
tracks.
1t has been intimated that Powers
will go to France, but latest reports
have it that he will ride here and so
will Schilling. There was feeling at
the close of last season that Powers
and Schilling might not be granted IL
censes on the Jockey Club tracks, but
it was only among the gossips that
the rumor was circulated. There is
every reason to believe that both
riders will be recognized, and what is
more. they will ride for prominent
stables.
Schilling will ride for Hildreth when
Dugan is on one of Mr. Belmonts
horses. When Mr.. Belmont has no
entry in a race Dugan will ride Hill
dreth's horse and Schilling viii have
the mount on anything started by Mr..
Hitchcock or Mr.. II. K. Knapp, the
second call on Schilling's services
having been granted to these gentle
men.
Powers is in the hands of Phil
Chinn, and with whatever stable he
connects himself the services of Pow
ers will be included. Should Chinn
60 to France, as he has intimated, 1t
may be that he will take Powers with
him, but the probabilities are that
both will be seen in New York
throughout the season.
Hildreth has sold his good horse,

That Pensacola will have clean
racing and contests was demonstrated
yesterday by Judges Lyle and Dern-
ham making ruling which suspended
Jockey Carroll for the balance of the
meeting and will hereafter refuse the
entries of the stables of Kay Spence.
They fined Jockey Cole for claiming a
foul that was not warranted by facts.
The race that caused all the trouble
came with the running of the third
event, in which Fatherlide, from the
stable of Kay Spence, was backed from
his opening price Of three to one to
six to five when the horses were
called to the post. The sudden awak-
ening of Fatherlide and the reason of
the plunge on the chances of the
Spence colt caused the judges to be
watchful in the race.
When the horses were lined up at
the post, Carroll on Chenault, the
favorite for the race, crowded
the rest of the field to the out
side fence. AT the start M. Depres
caused a jam and Messenger Boy, get
ting the worst of it, was shuffled back,
Fatherlide went to the front, but M.
Depres had the most speed and soon
raced him into defeat and drew away
to win the race with ten to one against
his chances.
After the race Jockey Cole claimed
foul against the winner which the
judge did not allow and assessed a
fine Of twenty-five dollars against
Cole for making the claim. Jockey
Carroll also came under the official
ban and he was suspended for the bal
ance of the meeting. The judges even
went further and suspended the stable
of Spence and from now on the entries
will be refused on account of the in
consistent running Of the horses.

ground. Among the juveniles this ad-
vantage will not be so apparent, for at
the beginning of the season two-vear-
Odds are asked to go but half a mile.
At that those who have already been
seen under the silks will possess edu-
cation and fitness, two attributes that
have often triumphed over class.
At this stage of the game the two
year-olds take up most of the time and
attention of the trainers, each one Sc
cretly hoping that out Of the many
that he has in his care he might de-
velop a champion, another Colin. a.
wish that comes regularly with the
dawn Of each new racing season. With
the older horses things are different,
for their capabilities are we'll known,
but with the youngsters a. trainer will
not alone have to accord the strictest
attention of his own charges but will
have to keep tab on his neighbors.
And ever present, rain or shine, is the
clocker or railbird, who is keeping tab
on all.
At Sheepshead Bay horses other
than those of Max Hirsch, Jimmy
Butte, V. P. Fine and T. NJ. Mannix.
who raced their strings at Juarez this
winter, are about two weeks late in
their preparation compared to other
years. Of course, with the ''muscleing
up process over with there are many
who could be gotten ready for the
opening at Acqueduct, but that sort
of hurried prep" will not stick. In
fact, after a couple of races a horse
will be ready to be turned out for a
spell. TO avoid that happening the
majority of horsemen nowadays bring
their charges to hand slowly, knowing
that when they arrive at that stage
Of fitness that they can be sent to
, the races, the prep" will stick, with
care and attention, for the balance OF
the season.
Right now halves at a two-minute
gait is the general rule with but few
exceptions, a couple being the three
quarter move of Bad News in PA
and three-eights by Maskette in 81
seconds.
