Easy Victories.

Ponette BlcI. admirably ridden by Joe
McCahey. won the Tsrrytown Stakes,
which was the feature of the card OF the
Empire City Racing Association yester-
day. Only five went to tho post, and
though Pomettc Blcu was favorite. there
was plenty OF support for Andrew Miller's
Undaunted and David Stcvenson's J. J.
Lillis.
McCahcy got pometto Blcu away well
and hustled her along until she was safely
around the top turn. Then when Sumter
came along with Undaunted he allowed
the Miller entry to lead all the way down
the backstretch. j. j. Liilis was laying
handy all the time. but as soon as the
stretch turn was reached Pometto Bleu
showed her class aud simply galloped to
the front. j. J. Lllls had plenty in re-
serve and. finishing three lengths behind
the winner. he beat Undauntcd by four
lengths for the place.
As usual at this track favorites had {,
! hard time OF /! and the choices were
/ topplcd over in the first race when Busy
[ Edith and BorRo were selected as the
/ likely candidates. Captain Parr cut out
the pace to the head Of the stretch where
( John W. Schorrs Goldcrcst Girl went to
/ the front and won by length and a half.
I BorEo was interfcred with when making
his run In the stretch and was beaten by
u length and half by Captain parr for
/ the place.
There was another shock for the form
| players when Adelaide r finished far
| back In the second race. a selling affair
at six furlongs. Adelaide T.. was "A strong
favorte at 10 to 10. with White and
Joe Rosenfield the only other ones fancied.
Adelaide 7. dropped back in the early
running and from the moment OF the flag
/ fall Joe Rosenfcld started to make I,
Z winning race lie WAS four lengths in
, front when making the turn for home and
breezcd past the Judges with that ad-
vantage over Rlue Thistle.
An excellent field of handicap horses
started in the third race. at u mile and
Il sixteenth. star Gszc was installed
favorite. but with the exception OF O.
! NJ. Miller there was almost equally strong
