OLAMBALA P|NCHED OFF
Unable to Overcome III Luck IN
Cosmopolitan Handicap.
FLIP-FLAP FOR BERKELEY
Turns Form Somersault in Race
at Belmont Park-Estep
Rides Well.

OIambala, R. T. Wilson, jr.'s, candidate
for the Brooklyn Handicap. on Tuesday
was badly beaten in the Cosmopolitan
Handicap at Belmon, Park yesterday
Some excuses can he made for his poor
showing as he was cut off in the run up
the backstretch and so knocked out OF MS
stride that he was several lengths out OF
il in last place before he settled down 10
racing once more. He made up some
ground in the run through the stretch'
but could not reach a contending position.
The winner of the onetime rich fixture
turned up in Berkeley, which turned
form somersault that made the crown
gasp. The six-year-old son of Dfeudpnhe
raced to the front in the first quarter ana
came marching down through the stretch
with his head in the air without showing
the slightest disposition to stop as ne dlo
last Saturday when beaten in the closing
strides by such cheap horses as Iaooo
and Dandy Dixon. He ran the mile ana
sixteenth in the good time or l:43 90
whereas he was beaten at one mile ana d
furlong in the comparatively slow time Oh
1854
Berkeley ran for the first time IN the
colors of H. G. Bedweil, who claimed MIN
out of his last race, when the Beverwyck
Stable took his breadwinner, Ed Ball IL
was the general opinion at the time 'iia'
MIR. Bedwell had all the better OF the ex-
change. and he smiled broadly when Der
kelley raced to victory yesterday
Estep rode we'll enough in winning
the ur-furlong scramble with NJ
Schwartzs Pickaninny to entitle MIN u
more mounts He was wide awake at the
post. and when it came TO a drive IN the
last sixteenth he waited until the closing
strides to draw his whip, and then used 1t
m good effect without dropping the f1lly's
head
The voungster followed up this success
bv riding Stargowan to victory In the Iii'h
race, and again he showed skill by mug
cling the rail all the way and not losing
foot of ground. Little Moore. on Richard
Reed. seemed to think that Estep would be
kind enough to pull out and let MIN
through on the rail in the last furlong' OUT
Estep had other notions. Moore stuck dog
gedly to the rail, however, and Rlcharo
Reeds only chance of winning lay IN
hurdling Stargowan
r. r. Wilson, jr.'s, Mexoana, which
ranked so highly among the two-year-oio
FLIES last season, has developed INTO
common jade, judging by her three races
this wear. She appeared to outclass her
field in the last race yesterday, but was
beaten a head by Galley Slave in the alb
surdly slow time of 1903 for five furlongs
down the straight course. In the Ladies
stakes a few days ago Mexoana, with
weight I'D. raced head and head with
Ocean Bound over five furlongs of the dis
lance in 100 fiat This was around the
turn and on a sloppy track.
G. Hidreth has decided to send Shill-
ing to Canada to ride King James in the
race for the Toronto Cup on Tuesday, pro-
yide6 the services of E. Dugan can be Sc
c-Ired to ride Fitz Herbert in the Brooklyn
Handicap on the same day Mr.. H1ldreth
has secured the call on Dugan if August
Relmont's Priscillian does not go to the
post
Fitz Herbert was scratched from the
COSMOPOLITAN Handicap yesterday. In which
he was entered under 100 pounds He
worked in the morning, however. with
Shilling up, galloping the mile in 1:42 and
finishing out the mile and a quarter in
2:0S 3-5 easily.
Fitz Herbert was all decked out in new
bride and saddle. 1t seems that some of
the horses in the stable are suffering from
bumps a skin disease, and Mr.. Hildreth
did not care to take the chance of infect
ing F'itz Herbert by using one Of the old
saddles.
H. r. Brandt has sold Harrigan to a
Canadian horseman for price said to be
$500
Fighting Bob one of the choices for the
Louisville Derby, won by Donau a few
days ago. is so i'll at Sheepshead Bay that
he is not expected to recover.
