which turned out TO greet the revival Of
the sport on Memorial Day.
II looked like old times and sounded
like old times. too. as the peculiar ana
spontaneous roar which greeted the
horses as they struggled through the
stretch was convincing evidence Of The
keen enjoyment experienced. Crowds
seem 10 have a different way of express
ing their feelings, whether at baseball,
football, regattas or racing, but no cheer
or shout seems TO carry the same snap as
at the track, and it was emphasized yes
terday.
August Belmont won two races. Rock
View, a son Of Rock Sand-Golden View,
rated among the best three-year-olds of
the season, galloped to easy victory in the
Lawrence Realization, transferred from
sheepshead Bay by the courtesy of the
Coney Island Jockey Club, while Filter
gold. a two-year-old full brother TO Fair
Play, captured the sixth race at five and
one-half furlongs.
Rock View has a temper and showed 1t
AZ the post He was willing 10 do any
thing except face the barrier, and then
when the start came he wheeled and
almost went to his knees, losing six or
gght lengths. II would have meant his
defeat If the two added starters, Monoc-
acy and Rock Fish, had been worthy
opponents. but as it was they could
hardly make him gallop even under the
handicap of many pounds and the loss
OF so much ground at the start.
Rock Fish did open up gap of eight
lengths or more in the first half mile, but
when McTaggert let go Of Rock Views
head he raced up so quickly that ii looked
almost as If the pacemaker had broken
down. Monocacy then hung on for a
time, but only on sufferance. as Rock
View drew out in the stretch TO win
hard held in the slow time of 2:5l for the
mile and five furlongs. With Cock o the
Walk and Yankee Notions scratched.
Monocacy and Rock Fish were added on
the off chance and to pick up second and
third money. They were wholly out
classed. even though the pace was laugh
ingly slow. as shown by the fact that the
six furlongs were run in 1:l9 2-5, the mile
in 1:4s and the mile and a quarter in
2I03-5.
. The Lawrence Realization was first run
in 1859, and. almost without exception, has
been won by good horses. On the roll.
among others. are Salvador Tournament,
Dobbins, Hamburg, Ethelbert, Africander.
Ort Welles, Sysonby, Fair Play, Fitz
Herbert and Sweep.
His Majesty. for which Alex Smith
Cochran, the Yonkers sportsman, paid
Whitley Langdon $4,000, won his first race
in the colors of his new owner when he
defeated some good sprinters in the six
furlong handicap. He was the quoted
favorite, in spite Of the fact that he
pulled dp bit lame after running second
10 Spring Board a few days ago. II
turned out that he had struck himself in
that race and that the injury was purely
superficial. In any case, he has peculiar
way Of throwing his front legs when can
tering which makes il look as If he was
nodding.
Spring Board made the running, but
His Majesty caught him firing inside the
last furlong pole. and, taking command,
had plenty left to stall off the fast closing
Shackleton.
Musgrave had the mount on Fred john
sons Light o. NJ Life in place Of Louns-
berry, but the Improvement In jockeys did
not make any improvement in the horse.
Fred Mulholland probably was the best
horse in the first race, but Butwell APP
peared 70 make the mistake Of rushing
him up too fast from last place in the
run around the turn. He reached a con-
tending position when Strengthened out

from some slight Interference. but hardy
enough TO explain dull race.

Roland Pardee appeared TO strike him
with his hoofs as he fell over the pros

The boy lay stretched out, not moving
a muscle, and the big crowd shuddered'
fearing for the worst. He revived short

field In an ambulance. Seven horses went
10 the post and four fell, Ncsegay going
down on the back stretch, while Son OF
the Wind. which had made most OF the
running, stumbled so badly that he lost
his rider two jumps from home. The
jockeys, other than Wall, were not In
,ured.
The Welkin, one OF the best jumpers in
training, made a show of those VINO

whole field and was hardly more than
