Andrew Miller's Roamer repeated
his brilliant performance in the Carter
Handicap last Saturday by galIopng
70 another impressive victory in the
third race at Aqueduct yesterday.
In some respects he ran better
race. as he picked up six pounds more,

through the long stretch and turneu
the seven furlongs in 1:25, only one
eth of a second behind the record ne

II will take a good horse TO beat
Roamer in his present condition al
snv distance uu to a mile, and there
;s NO reason to doubt that he will go
on. Charlestonian and Gamer beat
him in the Withers, but there is
chance that he was not quite up to
hard race on that occasion.
The handicappers did not agree with
" : Nosburgh, who assigns the
weights for TIE various racing asso-
cations in handicaps, and their judg-
ment proved the sounder, as ten
mounds more would not have brought
him back 10 the other horses in the
feld. with the possible exception OF
Hocnir. =,
The Knight Errant three-year-old
had most of the field dizzy behind him
in the first quarter, so fast was the
mace. and while Hocnir and Hester
prvnne kept reasonably close for five
furlonRs the last named also was stag

Toe McCahey, the little old silent
man among the jockeys, carried of the
riding honors for the day. He rode
three wirners-Chanteus in the trst,
1malf in the fifth and Headmast IN
the last. Most horsemen have the Ut
most confidence in this man. for man
he is in age if not in weight, as was
clearly indicated when Tom Healey re-
marked. in giving him the leg up ON
