year-olds, which attracted among others
Superintendent, Delft, Edith W. SALON,
Vega and Water Lady.
r. L. Carman's Surprising. one Of the
smartest colts of the year. was one OF
the overnight nominations. but IL was
never meant that he should start at a
valuation Of $4,000 and he did not go.
Delft, Naiad and Edith w. were the
choices of the crowd, and Superintend-
ent, overlooked by most Of the wise. got
the winners end Of the purse There
MAS no reason on earth why Superin-
tendent should have been overlooked,
but he was, and he made the overlook
ers sorry.
After Vega. who showed more speed
than she had discovered since the early
part OF the season, had cut out the run
ming for three-eighths Of mile. Super
intendent stepped TO the front In the
home stretch and won the handiest sort
of victory from Delft. Vega lasted just
long enough TO beat Naiad out for show
money. Eddie Martin rode Naiad this
afternoon. and the ogden Ally did not
run for him because he went at her with
the whip in the back stretch and made
her sulk. Naiad will not stand the whip.
Repentant. long overdue, got away with
the big end OF the purse in the chase for
maiden fencers at two miles, which at
tracted a field OF seven, Fashion Wing
having been scratched. Dissenter and
Bayport We're in the lead most OF the
way but Repentant caught them at the
last fence but one and opened gap
making the final turn which Bayport
could not close. Both Bayport and Re-
pentant fenced faultlessly, Repentant
showed better form on the fiat. Dis
sentor. apparently. does not care to go
further than a mile and half.
Robert Miller's consistent sprinung
platter. Water Welles. won the first race.

horses three years old and over. after

ROYAL Message. The latter was supposed
20 be a good thing, but ms on other occa-
siOns. when the stable connections were
confident. she was slow getting away
from the barrier. and had 10 take the
outside in the turn.
This handicap was more than Royal
Message could overcome because Water
Welles. after disposing OF Luria. saved
ground by sticking close to the rail.
Montcrlef who ran more fortunately than
usual got up In time to take show money
The best rnce for horses OF the three
and up division was a handicap at one
mile and n furlong In which the starters
were Plate Glass. Swannanoa, Flying
Fairy, Princess Galloway Jawbone, Star
Gaze and Any Port Jawbone. who has
improved steadily since his arrival here.
won out In the handsome time OF 1852 10
Plate Glass had the call before the
start, and Princess Galloway. Jawbone
and Star Gaze were In great demand.
Jawbone was in well under 100 pounds
and ran the best race he has shown all
season. Tho early pace was cut out by
swannanoa, 10 which the Handicapped
assigned the rather heavy burden OF III
pounds, and for upward of a mile the big.
long legged daughter Of Water Cress
looked a winner.
But Jawbone, in a contendinS position
from the start. moved up fast in the far
turn and, assuming the lead swinging into
the homestretch, went on TO an easy
victory Plate Glass. also running from
behind, brought up second. a length or

should have beaten this field. but he loafed
through tho backstretch. with his ears
pinned TO his neck. not half trying. Prin-
cess Galloway pulled up sore. She wants
heavy track
Dr. Duenner. once more touted as a good
thing. was once more defeated In the lftt
race, a dash OF ono mile for platers of tho
three and up brigade. In which he was the
choice OF a majority OF the crowd. Ills
opponents were Ella Bryson. Inspector
I.estrade, Judge Walser, Fred Mulholland
and Napier and Ella Bryson beat him all
the way. In the drive through the home
stretch he bore over against Inspector
I.estrade, who attempted TO come up on
the rail and fouled the Burgomaster geld
ing SO palpably the stewards disqualified
him, placing Inspector Lestrade second
and Napier third.
George j. Long. one Of the most promi-
nent OF the breeders OF Kentucky repre-
scented here this summer. won the last, a
sprint of five furongs and a half. with
Hortense. who had lively brush In the
final quarter with Jefferson Livingstone's
colt. j. Nolan. j. Nolan was on the rail- In
the early part OF the race. which prob
ably prevented him from winning. When

Uortense had too much OF lead to be
overhauled.
Albert Simmons boosted Superintendent

race and Ella Bryson $500 after her VIC
