out as 1t did the best two-year-oIds at

IIluch mooted question OF SUPREMACY
among the youngsters.

nLl5hed like a lion and got up in the
very last nod to beat out the pacemak-

Judges Unsnarl Horse Taugle.
Right On top of them was the other
Belmont colt, Vestibule, coming like

the Judges to untangle Mr.. Riggs sait

Ihe Crickmore Memorial was an event
OF deep interest, bringing out, as il did.
the very cream of the jumpers now in
training. Ia
The cross-country sharps were es-
Pecldlly enthused, as they looked to this
race to decide the exact position ~

ways within striking distance.
Waterway Draws Away.
AS they were weighted yesterday the
old Waterlevel gelding was too good fo,
Ticket of Leave, and when it came 10
a drive at the finish he drew away.
The Welkin. with 162 up, was in thu
race and ran well for a while. but tired
as If short.
The Amateur Cup was robbed of much
of its interest by the scratching Of Dull
care and Salvolatile. With these two
out OF the way the race looked a gift
to FL ORC. and so it proved. The Ethel
bert horse simply gallOped in. with SIM
pie Honours making feeble contention.
Mr. Blute annexed another piece OF
plate, his second Of the meeting.
Little Pal, from the Hildreth stable,
Whlch mas been running himself into
condition, came to the front yesterday
in the first race, winning handsomely
enough from the backed horses
Ihe second race of the afternoon was
little family party between two coast
nagS, PiuyiOus and Jim Basey These
two had something on the rest of the
field in the way of class. and the battle
was always between them, Pluvious win
ming rather handily in the end
Prlsctllian, which galloped off with
the sixth race, has returned to his old
form and 1t is doubtful if there is any
thing at the track that can take his
measure. A good judge said after the
race that II would be toss up between
this one and Fitz Herbert
The talent got a bad fall in the last
race when kormak was beaten This
one had been sold out Of the Hildreth
stable recently and it was reported that
the astute Missouri turfman was mighty
sorry that he had let the colt go. Kor-
max, however, got off poorly, and the
third hole was the best he could drop
into.
