GREAT CROWD At
LONG ISLAND RACES

New York, May 27.-Fifteen thou
sand persons attended the opening of
the thoroughbred racing season at
Belmont park, Long Island, where the
feature of the card, the Metropolitan
handicap, at n mile, vas won by
John Whalen's 4-year-old gelding
Buskin, ridden by Jockey Fairbrother.

for his event established by Fashion
Plate four years ago. After Ten Point
had been scratched. August Belmont
added Stromboli as a running mate
with Rock View, the public favorite.
and interest in the event was increas-
ed when H. p. Whitney's Borrow,
which had run last season in England,
was posted as an additional candidate
for the race, which was worth $4,100
to the winner.
Eleven horses bore silk and they
were sent ava well together, running
apart for a. sixteenth of a mile. The
lightWeighted Figinny then cut out the
face and held the lead into the stretch.
Fairbrother made his move on Buskin
at the stretch turn and for the last
eighth of a mile the horse just breezed,
winning by five lengths from Figinny,
which was out to the last ounce to
save the place from Rock View. The
latter had no excuse as he was away

on him and ne hung Wnen called on
by Jockey Butwell.
Borrow, which finished fourth, half
a length away, was badly pocketed at
the mead of the stretch and was crowd
ed on The fence at the eighth pole
where Jockey Notter had to pull him
up. Flying Fairy was never far from
| the pace, but she was forced wide
turning into the stretch, and, faltering
under the final drive, finished fifth
with Republican, Buckhorn, Stromboli
Ambrose. Gamer and Punch Bowl fin
mont pair were favorites, with Flying
Fairy and Buskin we'll played second
choices and Borrow next in demand.
The winner, Buskin, a sorrel bay

stakes, a two-mile race for 3-year-olds
at Pimlico last year, and this year al
the same track won the Rennert hote

SURPRISE IN FRENCH
GOLF TOURNAMENT

Versailles, France, May ~. The
most surprising result of the first
days play in the French amateur golf
championship at the ourse of the
Golf club Of La Boulfe was the defeat
of Charles w. Evans, jr., Of Chicago
by Henry J. Topping, Greenwich
Country club, Connecticut, by two up.
Evans was, handicapped by a sever
strain to his left arm, which he suffer-
ed in a fall from an automobile. This
affected his long game and on the
sixteenth hole Topping was dormy.
Evans drove out of bounds from the
home tee and Topping made two per-
feet shots to the green. The Chicago
player having then no chance to win
the hole, walked in.
Five Americans won their way to
the third round which was played yes
terday. They are Francis Ouimet
| Jerome ID. Travers, Henry j. Topping,
Frederick Herreshoff and w. Bowers.
Both Ouimet and Travers played ex-
celIent golf, winning their respective

SPEEDWAY RECORD
SMASHED BY GOUX

Indianapolis, May 27.-Jules GouX,
winner of the 500 -mile race here last
year, broke the record for n lap at
the indianapolis motor speedway yes
terday afternoon, when he circied the
20 mile course in 1911, a speed OF
approximately SO 1-3 miles per hour.
In performing the feat GouX beat the
record set earlier in the day by Teddy
Tatzlaff and Joe Dawson.
The French driver had declared sew
eraI times during the last week that
| he could make the circuit of the track
in less than 1872 and refused to at
tempt it in his practice spins, but in
his first trial in the elimination laps
he sent hiscar down the straight-aways
at q speed estimated at 11S miles an
hour, the fastest that has ever been
seen here.
Joe Dawson, who won the 1912 race,
was among the first of the drivers on
the track yesterday. and drove one lap,
unofficial, in 1:34.8, beating the record
recently set by Georges Boillot, in q
French car. Dawson hardly had tax
en- his car into the garage when Tetz-
Iaff sent his racer around the course
in 1884. This was a new record that
race enthusiasts believed would stand
for years, as the record of l:37 had
stood for two years before Boillot low
cred it.

run. either racers VINO maue the teStS
