Rock View Beats Strong
Field in the TObOggan

Of necessity as the pressure began 10
tell interest was maintained to the end
by the stirring drive between Rock View
and Figinny and the sensational rush
Of Ten Point, which was fairly running
over the leaders in the last sixteenth
Mr.. and Mrs Belmont were at the
track TO see Rock View run. and their
delight was plain to see as the goCi son
of Rock Stakeholder View forged to the
front in the closing strides, to. beat
Figinny a neck.
Mr.. Belmont has been disappointed at
the racing of Rock View this year, as
he counts him one of the best horses he
ever bred. and for that reason the victory
yesterday was the more satisfying.
Butwell had the mount on ROCK view,
his first race since he fell with lsidora
few days ago and came out OF 1t pretty
well bruised His strong finish counted,
although McCahey also got every pound
out of Clifford A. Cochran's consistent
three-year-old Figinny, which has run
a good race at every asking this year.
A. 1. Aste's Ten Point, one OF the
biggest and finest looking horses IN tram
ing, made his first appearance at the
meeting, and might have won except for
some interference half way down the
straight. He was running the strongest
of the three placed horses in the last
sixteenth. and 1t will take good morse
IN heat him the next time he goes to the
post.
HIP. Whitneys Meeting House, the top
.oa dc
about a bit just after the start anu
showed none Of his great speed 1his
giant does not possess the sweetest tenn"
per in the world, and appeared to sulK
the greater part of the way. THIS aiohe
could account for his finishing SO far
back.
Spring Board did his part for the Cas-
satt Stable in forcing fast, early pace
but Flying Fairy, with none too clear
sailing, failed to come on and take up inc
burden where her stable companion
dropped 1t.
CAPTAIN Rockwell, U. s. A, about the
best amateur jockey Of the day, carried
off the cup, valued at 500, by ridins
Water Welles to easy victory In The Bel
mont Military Race. He and Captain
Alexander. who had the mount on Stone
henge, rode in white duck uniforms while
Lieutenant Alpers was in the regular I'M
dress uniform of the national guard.
Shannon River came to life suddenly In
tie steeplechase. He has been showing
speed and trailing off badly In recent
races, but yesterday he carried his speed
the full distance and won like his old self.
John w. Schorr's Luke McLuke. which
ran a mile and a quarter in the fast time
of 200 40 in the West two or three weeks
ago, was shipped to Montreal yesterday
to start In the Dorval Derby tomorrow.
He is not altogether sound horse. but
has been training we'll for the race. San
Vega and Gordon were his car COM
panions.

most OF them known the world over teed
up In the preliminary round of the Brit
ism open championship over the Troon and
Iroon Municipal links to-day. special in
terest was shown in the playing Of Fran
els j. Ouimet. the amateur who won the
American open championship last fall, as
shown by the fact that fully five hum
dred followed him on his round on the
Municipal course
He returned card of 40-S7-77. which
placed him in a tie with four others for
thirteenth place and led the field of ANA

The field was divided in two parts, half
playing over Troon and the other over
Troon Municipal. The order will be re-
versed tomorrow, and the best 100 scores

next Thursday and Friday.
On Troon the lowest score recorded was
the % of Harry Vardon. while on the
Municipal links John Henry Taylor. the
open champion. led with 70.
All OF the competitors complained OF
the greens on the latter. many declaring
them unworthy OF competitive golf CT
any description" Ouimet, vexed, but
smiling, declared:
Il cannot hole Single putt The stroke
requires too much firmness. / am pulling

He was inclined to pull his tee shots
going out but he improved returning.

he missed several puts. Frequent ap-

Harold Weber, another American anna

Wisconsin Squad, Too, Arrives at
Camp on River and Has
Short Row.

From stan Correspondent Of The Tribune.
Poughkeepsie. ~ Y. June 1l.-All
the crows that will row in the regatta
here on June 20 were In their quarters
tonight ready for the two weeks drill
that will have them on edge when race
day comes around. The transcontinental
Washington crew dropped off a West
Shore train at Highland N the middle
of the forenoon with long tales OF railroad
ue-ups and inconvenience Of all sorts
that they had experienced in their tourney
from Seattle.
1t took the Pacific Coast oarsmen six
days to make the trip. and in all that
time the only exercise they could get
out In the open was half-mile jog once
or twice a day while their train was
taxing on water at a tank station. FL
nally. in desperation, Hiram Connibear.
the coach, had the train crew fix I'D a
couple of lower berths twice day. and in
each put two of his oarsmen, where they
were forced to go through a half-hour's
wrestling match.
With such makeshift training 1t was no
wonder that the eight owed without
much form when IL went out on the Hud-
son tonight for it's first practise spin.
Connibear had a launch and sent the crow
four miles upstream against the tide
They never sent the stroke higher than
2S, and had it as low as "a most of the
time. The Washington oarsmen are living
IN tents half a mile back from the river.
Another long distance crew that arrived
to-day was the University Of Wisconsin
squad of varsity and freshman sweep
swingers. The Badgers got in at noon
and. after launching their shells from the
Washington boat house. rowed the six
miles down stream 10 their secluded
quarters at Milton. All the Wisconsin
oarsmen are in fine condition. according
to Harry Vail, and he is confidently look
ing forward to the regatta.
Both Syracuse and PENNSYLVANIA got
down TO hard work to-day. The Quakers
had 1t easy this morning trying out a
few racing starts, but in the afternoon all
three crews had trials The varsity had
two miles over the upper half of the
course and went at top speed all the way,
the Junior eight pacing the varsity in the
first mile and the freshmen picking them
up for the second.
After their trials Nickalls sent all three
crews down to the finish line Syracuse
padded down for mile at noon after
Ten Eyck had rugged the shells and in
the afternoon had three mile row over
the course. All three Syracuse Fights
made close to record time, for they had
slight breeze out OF the north and a
milder tide to help them along.
The Ithacans padded over the course
this afternoon while Columbia spent most
Of the day above Crum Elbow and posing
for a band of movie operators who in
vaded the quarters at Clear Water.

CHALLENGERS PLAY
LAST PRACTICE GAME
Players of Both Teams Will Take
Only Light Work To-day, with
First Clash at Hand.

Captain Cheape reappeared as No. Tor
the Nottingham Club polo team In the
practice game on Phipps Field yesterday.
and played the seven periods In manner
to please the friends Of the challenger
There was no plaster or bandages on
his face, and, except for slight dis
coloration about the right eye and the
bridge Of the nose. no traces OF his acci-
dent on Sunday. when he collided with
flying ball, were shown.
Against the same strong formation the
American team beat by IL goals to on
Wednesday, except that Webb took Fl. c.
Phlppss place. the birmingham team won
by to AZ goals.
Lord Wimborne said after the game
that Captain Cheape had not let himself
out, but barring some unsteadiness In the
first period he made few errors, and was
as often of assistance in passing to Tom
kinson as Barrett. while Lockett as usual
played close to his goal.
Rumsey, Beadleston and Stevenson were
on Webbs supporting line. John A. e.
Trail was to have played back In the
first. second and final periods. but LORD
Wimborne at the last minute asked Stew
enson to 20 In to start the game and to
play through He gave as reason that
the English team needed all its ponies, as
two, or three were lame. Investigation
showed that Captain Barrett's Paddy and
Countess were out OF the game with sore
tendons, but It is expected they will be
ready for the fray tomorrow.
The Nottingham team work was quite
as fine as when they met picked array
on the Meadow Brook match field last
Friday. often the tactics were of superla-
tive merit, but the ponies did not as a
lot show any marked superiority to those
used by the opponents.
1t was no easy task. however, for the

SILVER LOVING CUPS
FOR POLO VICTORS
Souvenirs of Contest Replicas of
One Once Used by King
George iii.

Whether America or Great Britain wins
the international polo cup match, each
member of the victorious team will re-
ceive a silver loving cup as a souvenir OF
the contest. This is a time-honored GUS
tom, and the presentation is usually at
dinner at the Meadow Brook Club in
honor of the two teams.
The cups are replicas of loving cup
used by King George III. Each is sixteen
inches high and ten inches in diameter,
with two handles and an ornamental base
and cover. The lines are plain and har-
monious, in the best example of the
Georgian period of silver work.

ion that the letter E is the most
unfortunate letter in the English
