IN the first inning. and in that period they
didnt do much with him. They opened

on. He and Cicotte-Sighcot, as mega

BELMONT PARK, L. l., May 2s.-Capt.
E. b. Cassatt's Flying Fairy won the
Ladies Handicap. which was the fea-
ture OF the Wes,chestcr Racing Associa-
ton card to-day. In thrilling finish.
The Cassatt entry carried the top weight
OF l26 pounds and was opposed By a good
class field Of eleven including Addie NJ.
which finished third In the Futurity last
fall.
Jockey Davies got Flying Fairy away
In good position and before the horses
had travelled quarter of a mile she
had comfortable lead. The four-year- old
Tarts appeared to be her mos, dangerous
opponent when the flying brigade started
down the homestrotCh. For the last
furlong Davies was hard at work on Fly
ing Fairy trying to head or the chal-
lenge Of Tarts. Then on the outside
swept up J. q. Oxnards Cadeau, which
mad got away badly and had persist
emily made up ground over the route OF
one mile. For the last sixteenth the
three horses were fighting every inch
OF the way. and the final rush OF Ca
deau was 30 impressive that II appeared
TO many OF the spectators In the grand
stand that the Oxnard flly had won the
race. The judges decided. however. that
Flying Fairy had won. though II could
only have been by nose. while the mar
gin of head separated Cadeau from
Tarts.
The victory Of Flying Fairy was antici-
pated, as Capt. & ssatt's hlly started

est confidence IN & deau. which was
backed down from 10 to ) to 1. and would
have delivered the goods II she had not
been pinched of at the start. Flying

for the race.
