winner by five lengths. Figinny beat the
tired Rock View by little more than a
length, while Borrow was another length
away. Five lengths back was Flying
Fairy, with the rest OF the field following
in fairly close order except Punch Bowl,
which finished bad last, ten lengths be-
hind Gamer.
The winner was a consistent though
not brilliant racer as a three-year- old,
but was esteemed more for staying quail
ties than for speed. He won the Bowie
Stakes for three-year- at Pimlico
last fall. John Whalen, who IN the past
has trained for August Belmont, care
fully prepared Buskin for his race of tc-
day. his only previous performance this
year was when he won the Rennert Hotel
Stakes over the mile route at Pmlico.
T. Wilson. Jr., had no entry in the
big event, but the colors of this popular
sportsman were carried to the front IN
three of the other races. There was gen.
eral rejoicing at his success as he stood
calamity to his guns when the sport was
at its lowest ebb, racing for small purses
and buying more horses when many other
owaers were selling and shipping to foreign
parts.
Wilson Two-Year-Olds shine.
That the Wilson two-year- olds are
destined TO be formidable Is evident from
the fact that Both of the aces for the
youngsters were won by him. In the first
he started Encore. by Plaudt--Expressing
and Noureddin, by Ogden-Trances Nc.

win with Encore. and with Wolfe In the
saddle the Plaudit geldng TODD a hard

a nose for the place.
James Butler furnished the favorite in
the other two-year-old race in Comely.

a pretty one, but Wilson's Plantsgenet
drew away in the last sixteenth, winning
by alength from Comely. with the Oneck
Stables Distant Shore half length
further back. Both OF Wilson's winning
two-year-olds stepped the four and half
furlongs In SO seconds.
Mr.. Wilson's other success was scored in
the New York Steeplechase. In which his
grand jumper Penobscot will go down In
history as a winner OF a stake that In
the past has been won by such famous
chasers as Good and Plenty and Hylas.

Belmont Park, looking 81 it's best. with
the grass and ornamental shrubbery in
finest trim, was visited yesterday by
hundreds of persons well known in
society. who brayed the torrid weather

while the boxes were well sheltered from

lawn In front of the clubhouse. where
there was an animated scene throughout
the afternoon. A good many lunched
at the clubhouse. others coming over
from the Turf and Field Club. Scores Of
automobile parties came from the city,

There was general satisfaction when IT
was learned early in the day that Harry
Payne Whitney had added his English
'ampsgner Borrow TO the list of start
"rs for the Metropolitan, but in spite OF
the stories that this six-year- old had run
trials which warranted the belief that he
would duplicate the feat of Whisk Broom
II. in winning on his first start in this
country the Whitney entry receded a
point in the betting from the opening
quotation of 10 I. Stromboli also was
added a. a running mate TO the favorite
Rock View, and this extra string TO the
Belmont bow caused the stable TO be held
70 o. 4. L. Aste's Ten Point was the
only horse scratched. the net result be-
ING that eleven went to the post instead
OF ten as named over night.
In almost perfect alignment the eleven
'horoughbreds sprang into action when
ne rise of the barrier released them for
the nrst big race OF the year. For few
strides Buckhorn poked his nose in front,
nut quickly slipped back TO allow Figinny
70 draw out with clear lead before a
furlong had been covered.
Butwell placed the Belmont horse a
mead ben,=d Figinry as they straight
ehed out IN the stretch, with Buskin loom
ng up by burst of speed that brought
MN within length of Rock View. Fair
brother showed good Judgment In taking
suskin TO the outside, where he had a
straight path TO the wire. Notter on Bor-
row saw compact bunch In front OF

In presenting the resolutions Dr..
/ Cooper stated that he hardly felt
able 20 say anything on such an oc-
casion. lie said he had always been
IN close touch with Dr. Twitmyer,
whom he has known for a long time
In speaking of DR.. Twitmyer he said
"Ho was one OF the highest types OF
citizens ! can imagine AS stated in
the resolution he leaves a high stan
dard for us TO maintain. and one
which It will be necessary for us to
maintain II will he difficult to re-
place the loss TO this board. | keenly
feel tho loss OF Or. Twitmyer. more
than ! can express and more than
feel J can allow myself to say"
Col. Morrow said; Let us look back
upon the recent losses this board has
sustained. A year ago today our
president CDR. Shortlidgel, passed
away, and ten days ago marked the
anniversary of the death OF another
valued member (referring to Thomas
J. Sullivan). The death of DR.. rwit-
myer recalls TO me the death OF our
former 4 superintendent, DR.. Harlan.
One by one the time comes when we
must pass on. Tho death of DR.. Twit-
myer Is particularly unusual. When
person dies all are prone 10 say
good things about him. DR.. Twit-
myer was a man OF whom no one can
say anything but good. His pri-
vate life was beyond reproach and
his official life was such that 1t was
pleasure TO have dealings with him.
AS former chairman OF the teachers
committee ] was IN close touch with
DR.. Twitmyer, and always found him
ready and willing to accommodate. It
will be a long time before Or. Twit-
myers place Is filed IN our hearts,
If not in the Official duties"
George r. Rommell next paid tri-
butte TO the deceased superintendent.
He had known DR.. Twitmyer for IL
years, and while he had never had
much official business with him. he
had been I'm close touch with him IN
other matters, and had always found
him 70 be a man. "He was the same
man when he came to us as when he
lett US. He was q man. Mr.. Rom
nell concluded.
President Baynard said: IF there
was any doubt IN the minds OF the
members of this body of the value of
this mans services 20 the citizens Of
