payne Stakes at Belmont.
LOWERS COURSE RECORD
Roamer Romps Home, at to 5, in
the Municipal
Handicap.

NEW YORK, September 12.-It was
the first time the two-year-olds have
been asked to run over the seven-f fur
long course when they met in the race
for the Champagne stakes at Belmont
Park today, a crucial test which it was
hoped would bring out field Of the
very best in training. Victory in the
race went to Madden's maiden colt,
Paris, though he had declared to win
with Charter Maid. In winning this
event, which is one Of the classics of
the eastern turf, Paris lowered the rec
ord for the course.
The victory was a surprise to the
owner of the horse, as Paris has so far
been a consistent failure in racing up
to expectations.
Roamer kept up his reputation as
the best three-year-old of the year by
winning the Municipal handicap at a
mile and quarter. His victory was a
start he stayed in front throughout
the journey and raced SO easily that
the result was never in doubt.

beat the Whitney gelding for the sec

to horse finishing second in such a
race.
Tuckey spilled the beans" in the
steeplechase for which his mount. Ballet,
was a red-hot favorite. Neither horse
nor rider seemed to want any part OF the
! race, for Ballet ran no better than fourth
at any part of the journey up to the time
he retired by coming a cropper over the
ninth jump. Astute was beaten home by
a sprint on the part of The Evader. who
had taken things very easily up to the
point where speed told over jumpin :
ability. Swish quit so badly on the fiat
that she was beaten ten lengths for sec
ond money.
