ANYTIME SHOWS HER
HEELS TO FAIR FIELD
Wins Suffolk Stakes Before
Storm Turns Track Into
a Quagmire.
THREE FALLS IN CHASE
High Priced Figinny Beaten in
His First Start, but Shows
Courage in Head-and-
Head Finish.

Andrew Millers Yankee flly Anytime
is proving herself honest ard consistent
even II she is not much more than
selling platter. which is hardly estab-
lished. She won the Suffolk Selling Stakes
at Belmont Park Yesterday with some
pretensions TO class, beating Wooden
Shoes. The Spirit Naiad. winner of ,he
Astoria Dinner Stakes; Water Lady and
Gallop. all Of which have shown them
selves 10 be more or less useful
Butweu had something 10 do with the
victory, as ne clearly outrode Hanover
on Wooden Shoes through the last fur
long. after they had drawn clear of the
others and had the issue between them.
The surprise Of the race came in tho
almost unexplanably poor showing OF
Water Lady and Gallop. The latter was
handicapped by the little negro appren-
tice. Campbell, but even this hardly could
account for his being so far back at the
finish after the speed he showed In VIM
ming last Saturday. Water Lady hao
Nicklaus up. none TOO good a boy. but
one who piloted Surprising and Kahnka
70 victory within a few days. She SIM
ply was not herself. otherwise she must
have been much nearer Anytime, which
she defeated in their last meeting at SIX
pounds the worst of the weights over
Yesterday. Water Lady also defeated
Wooden Shoes in two previous races-an-
other indication that the Waterooy my
may have trained off.
The track was fast for four races ana
sloppy for two. The storm which had
been growing and grumblinG all the al
ternoon broke in all its fury as the
horses were at the post for the steepIe-
chase. and the small sized cloudourst
made the footing so uncertain that three
>,f tho six starters lost their riders. Nur-
phv on Golden. was badly shaken up
and rode back TO the Jockey house in the
ambulance, but the other two boys
bounced along the soggy turf like rubber
balls. without suffering any bad conse-
ouences. Chandler turned end over end
fullv ten times. so hard was his fall from
Nosegay. right in front of the stand.
Shannon River again proved himself
fair Jumper Racebrook was right with
him at the last two jumps, but ne came
avav on the fat 10 win with plenty TO
spare
The track was literally a quaGmiEe
when four Of the original nine two-year-
olds turned out for the last race, IN
Guiding Figinny. the oddly named dis
Cuise-Homespun colt. which John T.
Madden sold TO Clifford a. Cochran last
week for a price said 10 be 5000. f1Bnny
had worked so well that he was closely
held favorite with the three rather ordi-
nary maidens opposed TO him, but he
suffered defeat Lily Orme. which fairly
revelled in the sloppy mud, made most oi
the running and lasted just long enough
10 win by a head.
Mr.. Cochrans new colors-green, gold
hoops. green Cap-were badly spotted on
their first appearance, but the colt even
though beaten, showed excellent qualities
of speed and courage. He ran greenly.
but responded so well TO Butwells drive
that he was wearing the winner down
and would have earned the purse in an
other stride or two II was asking A good
deal of the colt 10 race six furlongs over
a bad track on his first appearance.
The withdrawal of Perthshire, Sickle
and Isidora left only three horses in the
handicap at one mile and il looked like
gift for Reybourn II Butwell could keep
him from running out. Fred Johnson
was asked foolish question 6.742 dozen
times or more in the paddock before the
race VIII he run out to-day? Mr.. John
son wanted somebody 10 answer that
question for him The wiful horse an
swered IT, He did not bolt 70 the outside
rail. as was the case on Saturday. but he
did run vide enough on the stretch turn,
in spite Of everything Butwell could do.
10 cost him the purse. Beaucoup saved
enough ground on the rail TO win driving
by three parts Of a length.
Raj PARIS Lace bled in the running Of
the fyst race: otherwise she might have
won, as Ella Bryson was plainly not her
self and Progressive had lot of ground
70 make up in the stretch which he did
in a resolute sort Of way. Progressive ran
out in his last start, but Karrick kept
him on the inside OF his field yesterday
and saved ground by driving him through
an opening on the rail in the stretch,
which just about earned him the purse.
Discovery was a red hot tip straight
from the rail birds in the second race,
but could hardly have won even II he
had not suffered from what looked like
an nl-judged ride on the part OF Wolfe.
The Ben Brush colt was slow 10 begin
but the boy rushed him up on the out
side as IL the race was a hve-furlong
dash and he had nothing 10 beat except
Water Welles AS a result Discovery
began 10 hang when most was required
and. bearing out. finished bad third.
Fred Mulholland, the real form OF the
race, was slow 20 begin as usual, and
rounding the far turn was fully eight
lengths behind the leaders. He was
wild horse in the stretch. however. and
worked his way 10 the front inside the
last sixteenth pole TO win going away.
Jimmy Butwell carried of the riding
honors with two winners and three placed
horses in Ave mounts.
The r. T. Wilson horses we're shipped
TO Saratoga Springs last evening, and
others will follow to-day.
