J. Leary's Roly won the only fixture
on the card here this afternoon. the
Mohawk Selling Stakes of mile. in
handy fashion, from Andrew Miller's
Lady Rotha and the Quincy stables
Lady Teresa.
While this was the stake OF an in
teresting day of sport. il was IN no
sense the most interesting race. The
victory of Hanson, from the stable OF
Schuyler l.. Parsons. was really a bet
ter performance. His score came in
lightweight handicap over the six fur-
long distance, and under 1870 pounds
he very readily took the measure of
r. J. MacKenzie's Leo Skolny and j. y.
Camdens fast three-year-old Luke.
Ii was the first appearance at the
meeting for Luke. and he had been
working so well that the checkers. to a
man, considered him a good thing. He
did not have the best of fortune in
the running. when in OF the rail. all
the way. and he was no match for the
winner.
Then at the end of the programme
James Rowe. who has begun TO show
his really good wo-year-olds. trotted
out another from the l.. :. Thompson
stable and naturally TOOK down another
purse. This one is Chicle. a son of
Spearmint and Lady Hamburg I'd. He
was. just a were ms illustrious stable
mates, Dominant. BromO and Thund-
erer, an easy winner. and it would seem
row that as far as colts are concerned
the Thompson stable has a sure thing
on the juvenile fixtures that are to
come.
Chcle did not have particularly
high class field to beat, but it was his
first public outing and he behaved
himself like a really good one. At the
head of the stretch he showed a dis
position to loaf. but when Tommy
McTaggart hit him once with the whip
he jumped away from his field.
The steeplschase of the day was
rather easy for NJ. Days Garter. W.
F. Presgrave's Ilaria scored in selling
Dash for -year-olds. and John ".
Schorr's Mars Cassidy was winner
over the mile distance.
Ii was definitely decided to-day that
the meeting would end on Saturday,

decision was reached
Andrew Miller's Roamer had his final

dcap, to be run Saturday, this morn
ing. He was stepped mile and a
quarter very handily by Jack Colds
borough in 2:09. His race IN the
Champlain was plainly below his real
form and it is confidently expected
that he will give a much better account
of himself in this next engagement. lt
