R0MPS ALL THE WAY

NEW YORK. June 21.-Harry Payne
Whitneys Whisk Broom II won the
Brooklyn handicap here this afternoon
in EOS %. new record for the race.
He won in big gallop by three lengths
from G. NJ. Miller, with Sam Jackson
closing just in time TO beat Guy Fisher
out of third money.
The time of the race was wonderful.
considering that the track was by no
means fast. The fastest mile and a
quarter ever run was negotiated at
Brighton Beach by Broom Stick, the sire
Of todays winner, but under vastly bet
ter conditions than those of today.
Broom Stick too carried only ninety
eight pounds against the 13o pounds
shouldered this afternoon by his worthy
son.
After the first quarter mile today the
race was practically no contest 1t took
that long for Notter to get " hisk Broom
in his stride evidently He drew to the
front passing the three-quarter post and
led the procession every incn of the way
not leaving the slightest doubt OF his
superiority over the field he was racing
with.
Colonel Holloway, Lahorse. G. NJ Miller

him. but could not get any nearer than
Jockey Joe Notter chose to let them.
The big horse just Hoped along in fric-
tionless style and finished with Notter
almost fiat on his neck and back
Although Brooklyn handicap day did
not measure up in point of attendance to
that of former years, there were fully
1900 people in the stands and in the
post. For the first time in the history OF
It's running the Brooklyn handicap was
decided at Belmont Park instead of at
