Special Dispatch to The Star.

BALTIMORE. Md, May 11.-August
Belmont, chairman of the Jockey Club
and one of the chief pillars of racing in
America, arrived in town to-day in time
to see his colors borne to victory In the
Pimlico Nursery by the black colt Rock
View. by Rock Sand, the $125. 900 English
sire. Mr.. Belmont watched the race
from the stewards stand and there was
not a happier person among the 11.0co
devotees Of the thoroughbreds who wit
messed the running Of the card. Mr.. Bel
monts silks have not been in the fore
ground this spring as they have in previ-
Gus meetings. but to-day was a great
day for the New Yorker. Besides win
ming the Nursery, one OF the classics of
the Maryland Jocky Club. his Tipsand
cantered under the wire in front in the
second rave on the program. Jockey
Tommy McTaggart rode both of Bel
monts winners to-day. and so pleased
was the chairman of the Jocky Club with
the boys riding that he has secured his
contract for year.
Raj. PARIS Lace, that captured the
C1abaugh Memorial Cup so handily last
Saturday, was hot favorite at 3 to 5,
but finished out OF the money. Little
Hugh, his stable companion. ran great
race. coming under the wire second but
never troubled the winner during any
part of the journey. Lace stumbled and
went to her knees, coming round the
far turn. spelling what chances she had
of getting the purse. Rock View was
splendidly handled by McTaggart, who
eased his mount up at the end. The
winner cantered under the wire five
lengths in front Of Little Hugh.
There were, three features to the card
for non-professional riders and the Crick-
more Memorial steeplechase. The play.
ers had another excellent day, four favor
ties romping home in front.

turn in the stretch, when Tim Donohue,
who had kept his mount back waiting for
the leader to tire. brought Alfred Noble
to the front and wore the weakening st.
Able down.
The jumping event was probably the
best race through the field of the meet
ing, and was thoroughly enjoyed by the
large crowd. Only one spill occurred
during the event, Mystic Light going
down at the first jump to the left of the
grandstand, the second time around the
course.
The Amateur cup for non professional
riders at seven furlongs. was only a gal
lop for G. r. Fleishmans Apache, q 1

behind the pace until y entering the
stretch. when he pulled away apparently
without effort
