,be one-day meetings that have been held
m the Queens track since the fall racing
began.
There was some abomlnable riding in one
or two OF the races, and this. combined
With a few accidents. one Of which was the
Falling OF Macedonian. the favorite in the
,h,rd race married the day for the lovers
=, the sport. The most fragrant piece Of
had riding cropped out In tho third race
after NJ. s. Josephthal on Adjutor forced
ts mount 10 even terms with Macedonian
and then into the lead when the latter fell.
Adiutor was we'll within himself and was
winning in romp. but Josephthal for
some reason pulled up half dozen lengths
from the line. Henry Lee on Country Guy
was QUICK to see the opportunity. and he
fore tosephthal could raise his whip Ice
had lsshed Country Guy until he flew like
vhirlwind in front of Adjutor, and he
crossed the line a full two lengths ahead

since he has been riding here. lie is an

races, and his fall yesterday, although II
did not iniure him. did not help to revive

Of them after his tumble His best race
was on H. A. Bourne's Jack Cade. which
ran in a special match against Morgan D.
Bar's Nugget. Mr. Blair himself rode
Nugget. and beat Mr.. Alpers's mount at
the start by a length or more. But It did
not take Jack Cade long to make UP the
distance. and turning into the stretch he
led Nugget by a head. Jack Cade con-
tnued to pull away. and won by two
lengths, although Mr.. Blair drove Nugget
hard in the last furlong.
Captain Buckeye. which won the National
Guard Cup on last Saturday, took up an
additional five pounds. and with Lieuten-
ant Alpers up had no difficulty In running
away with the Meadow Brook military cup
for national guard or government mounts.
The race was a six-furlong dash. and Cap

Sergeant Leavy. might have made bet
ter showing II he hadn't raced half way
around the course on false start. As II
was he had plenty OF reserve to finish
second after he had been sent back to the
starting line. Golden Dick seemed TO have
the place won easily, but he tired iii the
last few rods, and both Custer and Com
mander beat him across the line.
