Pressed Hard by Palanquin to
Capture Race the Feature
of Days Card.
THE WEST SCORES AGAIN
Stewards Danish Reid and
Dollar John" from Tracks
After Investigating
Rosedale Affair.

Morris, won the Seneca Stakes a selling
race, at the Saratoga Racing Associations
track this afternoon, and the Seneca was
the feature OF rather an Indifferent card.
Thursday never has been day for big
racing here. -
Karrick had leg up on Palanquin.
and the son Of Planudes showed marked
Improvement in form. He worked his
way TO the front by the rail in the dash
UP the backstretch and got 10 Scallywag
and Briar Patch as they turned into the
homestretch.
Briar Patch had cut out the running IN
the backstretch, and Scallywag, which
had been at her heels, was forging 20 the
front The drive through the home
stretch between Scallywag and Palanquin
was brisk, and Scallywag got the verdict
by nose In the rafting good time Of
/ :l3 2-5, Palanquin beating Briar Patch
some distance for place money. Mon
tresor was never a serious contender.
Palanquin ran a vastly better race for
Karrick than he had for Wilson.
The steeplechase, a gallop OF two miles
for three-year-olds and over, proved easy
for Maltbie, which alternated in the lead
with Mystic Light and Delrium and
finally defeated Delirium BY four or five
lengths. Maltbie's fencing was first rate.
and Delirium took his jumps with more
freedom than on last Saturday when ne
was beaten by Shannon River and Simon
Dale. Mystic Light Jumped cleverly-
under the handling Of Charlie Grand. who
rides fat races as well as steeplechases-
Exton. one OF William Garths new three
year-old 'chasers, started and got over
his fences rather clumsily. He seems to
be green.
The West scored again in the first
sprint Of five and a half furlongs for
two-year-olds, when Edith " defeated

young stallion Uncle, sire OF Old Rose
bud and Little Nephew. appeared az the
post under the silks OF Frank Weir. the
same who trained Roseben so success
fully for the late David Johnson and who
has handled Old Rosebud this year for
II. c. Applegate.
The Westerners divided their support
between Edith W. and Or. Samuel, and
the East stood by Anytime and Naiad.
Neither DR.. Samuel nor Anytime proved
dangerous az any stage, for Sosius. an
outsider, took the track al the fall OF the
flag and showed the way 70 the turn
home, where Edith W and Naiad came
from some distance back and challenged.

The Judges caused some trepidation
among the admirers OF Edith W. by first
putting up the number Of Small as
winner Small did not finish anywhere

fact-but his colors. purple Jacket, with

Judges, E. c. Smith and c. II. PettingilI
became confused. They rectifed their
mistake when the horses returned to the
scales.
