Stakes This Afternoon.
BY Herbert.

j. r. Marquette. jr., was around Belmont
Park yesterday with halter on his arm.
He has been looking for a ready-mads
horse or two keyed up to winning form
for several days. and took liking TO
j. ]. Lillis, which won the first race, and
to Grover Hughes. which galloped to
easy victory in the second.
He failed to find Eorse for his halter
and went back TO the stable empty
handed. but he made David Stevenson
and Frank d. Weir pay sos each to keep
their horses.
J. J. Lillis was entered to be sold for
$500 and. when offered al auction. after
beating Executor and few others. Mar
auette carried the price to $50 before let

Not dismayed by this failure, MAJ
cuette stood ready and waiting when
Grover Hughes, entered TO be sold At
81 200, was o~ered at auction. He was
not particularly bold. but made three
bids OF 800 each. carrying the price 70
100 before turning away as Weir said:

just about cost Weir the purse.
Little Johnny McTaggart, the Jockey,
was worried and penitent in the pad-
dock yesterday. 1t turned out that the.

his case to the stewards OF the Jockey
Club for further action. This may resut
seriously for the youngster, who has
made riding fame In less than year.
1t is possible that the stewards will give
him one more chance, although they feel
that he totally disregarded not only
warnings, but punishment, and should no

Lysander turned the tables on SIKH
bereen in the steeplechase. and turned
them in way to leave little question as
to which is the better jumper. The OGDEN

condition and carried to the Jockey house
in the ambulance. but revived quickly
and complained only of a general shaking

Jimmy Butwell again proved that he is
riding at the top of his form. He rode
Crossbun to victory for August Belmont
in the fifth race, and jollied old Oakhurst
into racing mood in the sixth. He also
was second with Executor in the opening
dash.
James Butler won another race. this
time with the wrongly named Tinkle
