victory from bad beginning in the
Merchants and Citizens Handicap. and
applauded generously when Lieutenant {.
X Rockwell won the officers army ser
vice cup with his own horse, Hand Run
ming, after whipping finish.
In some respects the Sanford Memorial
named in honor of the late General
stephen Sanford, ever a stanch sup
porter Of the running turf, stood out as
the feature of a good card, although the
race developed into more or less or a
procession. Andrew Millers Undaunted
showed in front for a sixteenth of mile
as the barrier flashed up, but Little
Nephew. which twice has beaten Old
Rosebud. soon raced through on the rail
and opened up a gap of two or three
lengths rounding the far turn. The others
quickly strung out In Indian file, with
Un6aunted second and August Belmonts
Flittergold third and so it was to the
finish. the only competition coming for
third place. when Harry Payne Whitney's
Trumps an added starter, got up in time
TO earn the small end Of the purse.
Little Nephew was hardly more than
gallopng through the last furlong, and
made new friends by his impressive race
The track was slow-even heavy in spots
from the rain of last night, so that the
time IA as, was fair. all things consid-

Lahore had all he could do to get place

The three starters In the military race
AT one mile, paraded 10 the post to the
tune Of The Star Spangled Banner. The
race was won by Lieutenant Rockwell,
who piloted his own horse Handrunning.
Hanrunnng probably is the best Of the
trio, the other starters. Mason, Leuten-
ant Lyman up. and Gilbert. Captain
Mitchell riding. not calling for much. But
he had bar plates on in front and bar
plates interfere with a horse in heavy
going.
Nevertheless Handwriting proved good
enough to win. Lieutenant Rockwell let
Captain Mitchell cut out the running with
Gilbert the better part of the journey,
but he made play with Handwriting at
the turn for home and after bad tussle
the son of Handspring and Pensa drew
away from Gilbert to win by bit more
than length.
The three officers rode in the regulation
Khaki service uniform, and all were
cheered when they mounted the stairway
at the stewards stand TO accept the cups

ceptionally clever mud horse Joe Knight

held it to the finish. Sosius proved better

Isidora who finished next TO last and
last respectively. Towton Field. whom
nobody suspected. came through in the
homestretch to gather show money.

last furlong with fine burst of speed,
won the Piping Rock Subscription race
by the narrowest OF margins from LILY
Orme. the choice Of the crowd Seven

lorgs and a half was made by Sandow,
with Virginia Lass In close attendance.
Both OF these stopped when Lily Orme
challenged at the turn into the home
stretch and Ocubenna beat them out for
show money.
