StrOmboli Beaten, but
FenrOck Wins His
Race Easily.
Athena SHOWS WAY
TO CELESTA IN MILE
Roamer Choice to Win Rich
Purse at Closing Day of
Syracuse Meeting.
IBy Telcgraph 10 Th. rrlhun.


Syracuse, N. Y, Sept. 4.-For the
second day of racing at the State Fair
the sport was not as thrillingly excit-
ing as on the opening day, but it at
tracted large gathering, and though
no records were smashed there was a
deal of entertainment in the six offer
ings.
What was meant for the best race of
the afternoon, a seven -furlong handi-
cap, brought about the second defeat
OF August Belmont's Stromboli. This
time 1t was Clifford A. Cochran's
flglnny, with a seventeen-pound ad-
vantage in the weights, that took the
measure of the son of Fair Play. Only
! the two went to the post, and Buxton,
who had the mount on the Belmont
goldlng, was largely to blame for the
defeat.
From a good start Stromboli was
rushed right along, while McCahey,
riding Figinny, took back from the
pace and then, coming with a great
rush through the stretch, caught Bux-
ton unaware and beat him home in a
rousing finish.
Mr. Belmont watched the defeat
from box, and his companions for
the day were II. X. Knapp, Andrew
Miller and Schuyler l.. Parsons. They
had come on to be present for the run
ming of the mile and a quarter State
Fair weight-fOr-age race, that is the
feature to be offered tomorrow.
Although StrOmboli was beaten, the
Belmont silks were first when Fenrock
won his second dash at the meeting.
1t was tive-furlong affair, and he had
no trouble in taking the measure Of
Egmont and Chanteuse.
Andrew Miller's Bac. as we'll as Mr..
Specs, from the stable of Mrs. A. {.
Blume, both administered a defeat to
Fitaway, a Belmont starter that was
looked upon before the race as a we'll
nigh certain winner. In this race, Mr..
Specs, though ridden by little Ural,
showed to much better advantage than
he did under the handling of Bur
linEame yesterday.
Athena scored gallOping victory for
Richard 7. Wilson's Montpelier stable
when he beat the maiden Royalty from
the Quincy stable, and Celesta, the
mare that hung out new American
record for the mile and sixteenth dis
lance yesterday, repeated when she
had no trouble IN taking the measure
of Alex Smith Cochran's Early Rose in
Q mile affair
/ Az the end of the programme, James
+. JohnsOn's Quincy stable won a race
when Wooden Shoes very handily dis
posed of Naiad and Golden Prime All
through the day the fields were small
and most Of TIE races afforded scant
contest
Considerable interest is being mani
tested in the $4,000 mile and a quar-
% q l,
morrow, but at this time il is doubt
full if there Will be anything in the
field capable Of giving Andrew Milier's
/ Roamer any serious argument His
( Majesty, though sent out in the en-
tries, Is on the shelf from a recent in
jury, and 1t is probable that at post
time Gamer, from the stable Of Harry
Payne Whitney. will be only one to 60
to the post with the son of Knight
Err8nt.
