Anurew Millers Roamer performed
great feat yesterday afternoon when he
won the third race at Aquoduct, conced-
ing weight TO some OF the best sprinters
in the metropolitan district Roamers
Impressive victory In the Carter Handi-
cap on Saturday earned him the stiff i'm
post for a three-year-old OF 115 pounds,
and according to the weight for age scale
he WAS giving away Jumps OF weight TO
every one OF the seven starters. Never
theless the great speed shown by this son
OF knight Errant--Bose Tree I'd had
gained the confidence OF the public and he
started at the prohfbitive odds of 10 to 90.
The distance was seven furiongs, the
same as for the Carter Handicap. and In
the early stages of the race Roamer had
another three-year-old that carried the
silks OF the Beverwyck stable. Hester
Prynne. consistent sprinter and fancled
next to Roamer, was away badly, but
rushed up into third place going around
the turn. a furlong from home Hocnir
had his nose in front and as he gave way
II looked for a moment AZ though Hester
Prynne would run over the leaders. But
we'll called on Roamer and the speed sem
sation OF the year drew clear in a flash,
simply ronlping homo a winner by four
lengths. Hester Prynne died to nothing
in the last sixteenth and was eight
lengths behind Hocnir, but saved third
money by three lengths. The time Of the
race. I rs. though "A fifth OF a second
slower than Roamer accomplished on Sat
urday marked better race. Roamer
carried six pounds more than he Shout

blowing was all against fast time
Roamer was the only favorite returned
winner and the day Was one OF the
most disastrous of the season for the
form players. In the stake feature, the
Rockaway Selling at six furlongs Phil
Hyamss Granite carried the bulk OF the
money. According TO the handicappers
Grover Hughes was the only dangerous
competitor. There was a long delay at
the post owing to the fractiousness OF
John -. Talbott's Tarts and when the
field was sent away Tarts rushed across
Granite and forced him to pull up. Bosom
