Vanitie breezed home in front at Be-
mont Park yesterday. This time Vanitic
is a horse. and not a yacht, but the horse
was named for Alexander Smith Coct-
rams cup yacht, and the resemblancc
does not end there. for, as Eddie Curley
remarked
Both ere speedy and both have bronz.
hulls."
Vanitie Is heralded as a possible cham
pion Of the two-year-old division. while
John T. Madden, in whose colors he ran
did not qualify the statement that the
youngster is one OF the best horses he
ever bred or owned. If looks and con-
formation count for anything, the mas
ter of Hamburg Place is not far wrong
Vanitie had little opposition yesterday.
his only opponents being King Simon,
big but rather high actloned colt, owned
by Thomas F. Ryan, and d. NJ. stewart
Andromeda. It really was no test. %,
any horse that can gallop Ave furlongs
TO win hard held I'm 20 2-5 is not lacking
in speed and quality.
Vanitie is q FURNISHED bronze colt by
Ogden-Veil, and so bred In the purple.
He is big all over without being giant
with clean legs. wonderfully muscied
quarters. long, strong back and powerful
withers. He looked every inch a race
horse while being groomed in the pad
dock, and the sharps, almost without eX-
ception, commented on his great depth
through the heart and the indications OF
driving power behind. In the race, too
his action was smooth and close 10 the
ground, so that altogether he MADE
most favorable impression.
Veil, the dam of vanitie. is full sis
ter to Maskette, a Futurity winner. AMI
was unbeaten as a two-year-old when
racing in the colors Of the late James H.
Keene.
The colt was named after the yacht to
satisfy little superstition on the part
of Mr.. Madden. 1t seems that Alexander
Smith Cochran, when visiting Hamburg
Place. picked him out from lot OF other
warnings, and admired him so much that
he asked for an option on his purchase
This option was not exercised, as MI
Cochran got deep in yachting but IN que
time the colt was named after the BOAT
which eventually may be chosen to de-
fend the Americas Cup
Several years ago Madden. In LOOKING
about for a name to III PROMISING
yearling, decided on Yankee, In honor OF
a Yacht owned by Harry Payne Whitney'
and which had been winning some races
Yankee won the Futurity and turned OUT
to be a great horse, and, as Madden saUa
yesterday:
Manning a morse after a boat brought
me luck once. so / thought I'd try aSain.
Looks good so far.
Vanitia is we'll engaged, not only IN THIS
country but abroad. where he has pesh
named for the EPSON Derby and Two
Thousand Guineas, In England, ana the
Grand Prix. in France
Woods. the jockey, earned the disiaNof
of the stewards for a lax. bad-looklhS

the Blackstump Handicap. second on the
card The boy was suspended Tor me
balance of the meeting and the case re-
ferred to the stewards OF the Jockey Oiu'
for further action
To ALL appearances. Woods left all his
ambition in the paddock, to use later on
Adelaide ]. After breaking In front ne
took Buckhorn back, and sat like statue
from end to end. while Republican ana
Thornhill fought out pretty duel winch
Renublican won, thanks to a perfect ride
aud stronv finish on the'part Of Jimmy
Butwell.
Republican. by the way. had no recent
nuhIic form TO Justify his good race Sut
the news of a fast work spread ABOUT so
that he did not lack followers
Johnny McTaggart also came IN LOT
more punishment, and was set down TOT
rough riding at the post for the rest OF
the meeting, which ends on Saturday.
He returned to the saddle on Wednes-
day. after being on the ground ten days
for the same offence. According TO the
stewart, he did not profit by the disc'-
mime, md started right in at his OLD
tricks. which brought forth warning
In the Harl. Selling Stakes YESTERDAY
when riding Perthshire, he hung Don
aid Macdonald on the rail- as the say
ing gees. when the barrier was released
and ON the complaint of the starter the
steward neted out two more days OF
,dleness f. the boy, and the consequent
loss OF ridir fees
One record was established yesterday
M least, most everybody called II rec
ord. Only three horses faced the starter
in four races. In fact. only twenty-five
were saadled all the afternoon, and yet
the racing was keen and spirited.
