fields did not prevent the racing mere
to-day being a little more productive OF
interesting Incidents than Is usual. Jock
eys Johnny McTasgart and Woods were
set down by the stewards, the former hsv-
Ing a recurrence OF the family falling of
rough riding while Woods handled Buck
horn In such s,ovenly fashion that the
stewards Of the meeting took further ac-
ton in his case by referring II to the
stewards OF the Jockey Club.
Just how many friends John T.. Madden
has on the racetrack was shown by the
speculation on the nrst race. for two-year-
olds at Ave furiongs. Madden started
vanitie, n chestnut colt by ogden--Veil. for
the first time, and II appeared that every
friend or even acquaintance of the master
OF Hamburg Place had received the con-
fidentlal information that the Ogden colt
was some horse" The friends OF Mr..
Madden told their friends and all APP
peared at the track bright and early TO
| take a hand in the cutting OF the melon.
Other owners had heard OF the proves
of the Madden youngster. while the rail
birds had clocked him In the early morn
( ings when he was burning up the track.
The result was that three OF the most
dangerous entries were scratched, and In
the slim field OF three Vanitle was held at
the prohibitive odds OF / to S. Vanitie
won 80 impressively that IL remains TO be
seen just how good a colt he Is. The Oak
Ridge Stables King Simon made pre-
! tence OF racing against the latest Mad
den marvel, but swerved under the whip
/ and Vanitie breezed to the wire eight
lengths I'm front. with mouth wide open
| and striding in a machlnelike manner that
/ betokens the posses slon OF extreme speed.
All but three declined the issue In the
| Blackstump Handicap for three-y year olds
| and upward at one mile All had sup
! porters, with August Belmonts Thornhill
| closing favorlte at 6 to 3. Woods got
Buckhorn of In front. but Immediately
| pulled up so that Thornhill and Republi-
| can began a duel for the lead that car
| ried them down the back stretch ut n
| fast pace and almost on even terms.
| Going around the bend Kederis took
| Thornhill back and Republican had an
| advantage OF a little more than length
as they entered the home stretch. But
well was urging Republican along with
a clever hand ride. but Thornhill was
by no means done with. Kederis drew his
whip at the eighth pole. but went back
again to n hand ride, only to try the
| whip again few strides later. The
vacillatinE policy was continued long
enough TO lose the race for Belmont q
colt, for ne was catching Republican In
leaps and bounds when the latter passed
| the JuukeS n no8c 10 tuc Soous DuNN
horn apparently never made real effort
| and finished a length and a half behind
| Thornhiil.
Butweirs riding was again n factor in
the success Of J. u. Oxnard's Lady Rotha
In the second race, There were only three
starters. with John W. Schorr's Star
Shooter the contender. All through the
last eighth OF a mile Butwell kept crowd
ing Buxton on Star Shooter. and finally
drew out to win cleverly by a length.
The winner covered the FIVE and a half
furlongs in the fast time OF i:0+ SIS.
Old Donald Macdonald. which ran for
the first time II. the colors OF his new
owner. Mrs +. e. Brown, had hard luck
in the Harlem Selling Stakes over the
mile route. He was bumped on TO the
| rail at the start by Perthshire and was
left twenty lengths behind by Perthshire
and Tarts in the first half mile. The
leading pair made a good turn Into the
stretch. while Donald Macdonald. fifteen
lengths behind. veered across the track
to the outside rail. Tarts drew clear OF
Perthshire in the last sixteenth. but mean
time there was a shout as Donald Mac
donald Strengthened out and came rushing
on with mighty strides. He went across
the line only a head behind Tarts and a
length in front OF Perthshire. The sum-
niaries:
