Special Dispatch TO The Star.
JAMESTOWN, Va, April 2o-Favorites
were slaughtered at the jamestown track
this afternoon, but two of them winning
in the seven races run, and as a. result
the wise money bettors were given quite
a drubbing. High Hat and Jennie :Geddes
were the only first choices to get the CON-
The feature race of the day was the
Atlantic Hotel handicap stakes, and the
winner turned up in the cratic Hoffman,
who galloped home in front of Bob r.,
with the favorite, Kormak, bad third
The best race of the day was the sixth,
when Force and Silicic dashed down the
stretch step by step and went under the
wire so close together that the JUDGES
had to call 1t dead heat. Silicic was at
the juicy odds of 100 to 1, and the purse
and tickets had to be cut in two. Silicic
is reported to have been played quite
freely over the country and great coup
went wrong by only an eyelash.
