Bv HERBERT.


With McCahey on the ground and
Butwell riding some ordinary horses,
Kedcris improved his standing among
the jockeys by handling three winners
at the Empire City track yesterday.
He rode Working Lad, Star Gaze and
Azyisde 70 victory and finished third
with John d. Wakefield out Of five
mounts.
The programme catered 20 the
cheaper horses. but in spite of this and
a little thunder shower just as the last
race was run the sport was interesting
from end 20 end
Il was the first day since the meet
ing opened that Butwell did not ride az
least one winner. and he Is far IN the
lead of the other boys. with fourteen
winning mounts TO his credit. BY
capturing three races yesterday kederis
moved into second place, with seven.
while McCahey. who headed the list az
Aqueduct. and Marco are tied for thlrd
place. with only five each.
Working Lad won the third race IN a
way 70 arouse the cUpidlty or j. X.
Marquette. jr., who Is still STRIVING 10
a horse which can win a purse or two
and so help support Muskmelon, the SIR
Wilfred mare. which has acquired the
distressing habit Of always Following
the others home.
Working Lad Is worth more than
$500. Most everybody conceded that
after seeing him run a mile in l:4O 30.
and Marquette was among the NUMBER
and the boldest of the lot When the
horse was offered az auction the man
with the halter kept on bidding until
the price touched Sl.l0O.
Frank Taylor, who trains Working
Lad for II. {. Hallenbeck. never way-
cred. however. in raising the bids go
and finally Marquette turned away
without a horse for his halter. The
winning end Of the purse was $500. the
bid-up S505. so that il cost Mr.. halien-
beck $40 and the jockey fee 70 win the
race.
Some consolation came later. how
ever "a his Azyiade turned the tables
on Undaunted and Scallywag over the
six furlong journey. The Cactus II
mare is a pretty good sort Of sprln-
ter over fast track. but the common
est selling platter in the mud. as was
plainly shown in ner last race, Few
DAYS ago. when she could not raise
respectable galiop and was beaten on
By Undaunted among others.
Under the circumstances her follow
ers watched the approach OF an ugly
looking storm with some mlsglvings,
but the race was advanced ten minutes,
and the rain did not come until Azyiadc
had raced 20 victory.
James Buffers Tamira. which showed
tsH = n
dence Of the stable in two previous
races. lived up 70 the promise OF her
work in the first race. R. {. Benson m
trusted her to Steward, the tiny negro
Jockey. and a Tod Sloan could not have
done better in breaking her away from
the post in full stride. That was all
the boy had TO do. az Tamira. once
in front, had plenty Of speed to stay
there
The FLY is named after a girl friend
&C one Of Mr. Buffers daughters, and
there was much rejoicing wnen the
colors flashed out IN the van.
On July II Donald Macdonald beat
Star Gaze a good eight lengths, but
there was a different story IN the
fourth race yesterday, at difference
of only seven pounds in the EATERS
favor. The ancient son OF SOmbrero
pulled I'D lame after getting up in
time TO beat Guy Fisher head for
the place. which no doubt accounted
in part for his failure to get within
striking distance OF star Gaze.
Another reason lies in the fact That
the last named, which beat Buckhorn
at Aaueduct, is not altogether true
running horse. He constantly bears
in 20 the rail and is disposed 20 sulk
If he cannot have his way This was
the case on July Il, and even yes
terdav Kederis had trouble pulling
him of the rail TO go around Guy
Fisher on the last turn, and when
barely in front he bore right m
again. barely escaping foul As u
was. But-ell had to pull Guy Fisher
70 the outside. and this probably cost
him the place.

third race with a fancy. circus step
