The Champagne Stakes, first run IN
1887 AZ old Jerome Park, has ever been
most coveted fixture Almost with
ont exception the winner has trained
IN ana made his mark in other years,
and Paris looks like the kind OF horse
which would be no exception TO the
ule. even though he is no world heater.
OF almost equal interest with the
Champagne Stakes was the victory OF
Rosmer in the Municipal Handicap, at
one mile and a quarter. This brilliant
three-year-old picked up 122 pounds,
conceded big weight TO his three oppo-
nents and, setting his own pace, ran
the distance in goa.
Jus. al the end Butwell rode him
out smartly 10 withstand challenge
from Addje NJ. which ran up strongly
on the rail and threatened danger IN

Roamer May Be Retired.
Andrew Miller was keenly elated
over Roamers GOOD race and walked

Bu.well explained that the horse
tined TO bear out all through the
stretch, otherwise 1t would not have
been necessary 10 ride him out IN the
,losing strides when Addie ". closed
50 strongly.
Nr. Miller would not say definitely
that Roamer had run his last race for
the season, bat did say that the colt
hsd earned a rest, which indicated that
he would be thrown out of training
and not shnped to the Maryland tracks
after the meeting closes at Belmont
Park next Saturday.
