Belmont Park. n. Y, May S1.-Rock-
view, August Belmont's crack Rock
sand colt. won the classic withers
stake today. Prince Eugene. from the
stable of H p. whitney, was second.
and yankee Notions third. Cock O. the
Walk, the only other starter, stumbled
soon after the start. throwing his
rider, Glass, half way out of the sad
die. The boy hung on for few strides
and then fell to the track. He was
up in an instant, and walked across
the field.
After a short delay at the start the
field was sent away in good order.
Karrick, on Yankee Notions. sent his
mount to the front, and led by an open
length to the far turn, where Rock
view gradually cut down Yankee NO
tons lead, and they swung into the
stretch on even terms. After getting
straishtened out Rockview opened up
a safe lead. and il looked like gal
Iop for him. Prince Eugene, who had
traiIed the pacemakers to this point,
closed in on the leaders and challenged
the winner at the eighth pole. But
we'll shook up Rockvlew, but the colt
only made a weak response, and the
Jockey was forced to ride hard to beat
Prince Eugene by a length and haif.
Yankee Notions weakened badly in the
finaI drive, and finished four lengths
behind Prince Eugene.
Although the day was an ideal one
for racing, a crowd estimated at about
only 5000 turned out to witness the
sport. This was a big surprise to the
offcials of the association, following
the record attendance of Friday. An
attractive card was down for decision,
with the Bouquet Selling Stakes and
the withers as the features. Sum
