Mrs. Payne whitney, who races under
the nom de course OF the Greentree
Stable, took down the Dosoris Plate when
Bayard Tuckerman rode her good hunt

Mortimer, jr's, Title d. In this race Mr..
Such, who had the mount on Paul d.
Crayath's Justice had a nasty fall when
his mount conided with a flag, but fortu-
nately. beyond being temporarily knocked
out and bit bruised, he was none the
worse for his experience.
In the running OF the Matlnecock Plate
that went TO Wooltex. Mr.. Mortimer came
nasty cropper with his horse Country
Guy at the first fence and O'Connor, on
whom Bayard Tuckerman had the mount
fell over him. Later Referee went down
with J. Clark, but, fortunately, all three
OF the riders escaped serious injury.
Another spill came in the Tyron Hall
Only three started, and Lieutenant X. g.
Bradford, OF the 18th Cavalry. was IN

Averill w. Hartman appeared for the

Another race OF particular interest was

for the races at Belmont Park.
Ten horses started in the chase won by

not so impressive as that of Meadow

good one. The professional f. Woke

front and remained there for the entire
trim, Had Country Guy not fallen at the
first fence doubtless his task would have
been a harder one, but both Rice Grain
