Tho Masquerader was beaten in the
,sirtv-eighth running Of the Juvenile
stakes at Belmont Park yesterday.
The Masquerader. be It known. came
,,n from the Maryland tracks unbeaten
,ra stamped with the promise of real
greatness among two-year-olds. His
,ooks. his way Of winning. more than the
borses he beat, were the things which I'M
,rossed the critics. and he was hailed
accordingly. Under the circumstances
,be historic Juvenile Stakes were con-
csaed to be at his mercy, and yet eight
ouoers decided TO take a chance against
his speed marvel OF Raj PARIS. and
two at least, had reason to be satisfied
with their holiness.
II may be too early to revise opinions
already formed Of The Masquerader, as
che ogden colt appeared to founder badly
IN the sloppy going. but the fact remains
that a truly great horse can run over
any kind of a track or In any case make
a good night. AS IT was hs was soundiy
beaten by ]. L. Hollands Hauberk and
lanes Buffers Marion II.
Tho Masquerader looks like a race

dspth through the heart, but so. too, does

Keene. Marion II probably needed the
race. II was her first start and the
distance was five furlongs. She had the
speed Of her field and set merry pace
until well inside the last furlong pole,
when Hauberk, a son of Martinez, with
more seasoning. gave challenge and drew

lengths.

with the other Holland horses next week.
added materially to his value by getting
his name among those which have won
the Juvenile and which include in recent
years De Mund, Smoker, Joe MADDEN
Waldo and Punch Bowl.
The storm, and it was fearsome one
while il lasted. divided interest with the
racing. 1t did more, as the wind wrecked
the Jockey board, while the driving ram
and cavelike gloom practically blotteu
out the third race which was run wheh
the lightning, thunder and wind were
doing their worst and making everybody
uncomfortable. Andrew Miller's Roamer
won. He came out Of the gloom nan
way down the stretch four or five lengths
in front. and Turner, who had the mount
. said later that the Knight Errant, three
vear-old. had been in front all the way.
Roamer has filled out over winter, and
gives promise of more than living up TO
the good form he developed at Saratoga
Springs last August.
The track was fast for two races. so
fast that in the Hampstead Handlcap'
second on the card. Sprite picked up l2Q
mounds and ran six furlongs in 112, which
was only two-fifths of a second behihu
the track record. held jointly by Roseben
and Delirium.
The victory was more impressive as the
Water Boy horse was badly outrun Tor
half "a mile and was forced TO travel the
overland journey to get TO the front lie

Superintendent and Flittergold. when
ranked among the good two-year-olds ias'
season were seen here for the hrst time'
The former has not grown much over
winter. and is on the small side, but ran
a fair race and does not seem to be lack
ing in quality. Flittergold was much the
better looking of the two. as he has hiIed
out and developed into p really hashy colt
He was badly hemmed in most OF the way
yesterday. and did not have a chance TO
show his true worth.
H X. Knapp. who runs his horses IN
the name of the Oneck Stable won TWO
rsces-the first with Forecast voter
Oily which gave evidence OF some class
and the second. as mentioned with
Sprite
The crowd was of goodly size althoush
much smaller. of course, than on the
opening day, and nothing but the storm
marred the racing. Even that mao i's
