II was a perfect day for racing ana
while a goodly number turned OUT the
crowd fell off slightly from the ones at
Pipjng Rock. Those who did go to the
+ track were more than repaid, as there was
much dash and spirit TO the sport.
- Mrs. PAYNE Whitney, who races under
the nom de course Of the Greentree
Stable. had the misfortune to lose the
snelsurhe Hunt Steeplechase Of $500 with
her Web Carter because c. r, Appleton,
who had the mount, eased up IN the
stretch under the impression that WIND
row. which was whipped out to win
would be disqualified for cutting the
course
Mr. Prince, who rode Windrow, did cut
inside TWO barrels on the clubhouse turn
but it turned out that they were without
Naes and marked the fiat course and net
the steeplechaSe course. Under the cir
cumstances the stewards. August Bel
mont. Robert T. Gerry and Harry 5.
Page, could not entertain the protest
I5dged by Mr.. Appleton, and the race
stood as the horses finished.
Mrs. Whitney smiled and accepted the
defeat in a 'spCrtsmanlike way. but many
present blamed Mr.. Appleton for not
being properly informed as TO the course
and more vet for not riding out his mount
through the last half mile. when it looked
as IT, he could have won without depend
p ing on a protest.
Web Carter, the quoted favorite, fenced
in faultless style, and while outrun in the
early part when Tourney and WindroW
were forcing the pace, he moved up
rounding the last turn and quickly raced
into a contending position. The three
horses came down 10 the last jump IN
close company, but when Tourney
dropped back beaten Mr.. Appleton eased
Up Web Carter and Jet Window go on to
win ina drive,
Faultless. with Fred Alpers up, ana Ola
Norbitt, which used TO be fair sort OF
q bread winner on the fiat for waiter
House, made a pretty race for the Hollis
Selling Plate over the hurdles. They
waited behind the pace set by Pilot II Tor
a turn and a half Of the field and then
went on TO fight II out. Noroitt lost
ground at the Jumps and Lieutenant
Rockwell had 10 make so much use OF
him on the nat that the effort told ana
Faultless drew out in the last quarter 70
win handily by four or five lengths.
, Henry ". Warmers Nosegay won the
Marine Plate at two miles on the nat,
thanks partly TO the fact that FREQ
Aipers outrode Evans Tucker on Specu-
lator in a driving finish and landed MS
mount In front by a head. 1t was STIR
ring race. The two named and ZellWood
ran neck and neck through the last halt
mite with the crowd shouting as only
those who love racing can shout. Zell-
wood was the first 10 capitulate. but the
other two struggled on to the end ana
Mr Alpers by clever use or me "mp
earned the decision with Nosegay.
Frederick Johnson's Reybourn was the
best horse in the five furlong dash. but
was so slow 10 break that he was eight
or ten lengths behind the leaders when
Strengthened out. He closed big gap
and finished with a rush, but MI II.
Tucker, who had the mount. had to be
content with second place 10 Raymond
R5lmonts Culvert. Mr.. Belmont rode his
own horse and rode him well. He waited
behind the early pace, saved ground on
the inside nanlng the last turn, and, send
iHg his mount TO the front in the last
quarter. rode a smooth, strong finish to
win by length and a half.
The Piping Rock subscription ponies

Herman 70. Duryea, whose horses won
