Tribute TO the Sport.
Tho racing yesterday was full Of IN,

lD,busiasm. The cheers, the shouts
copld not be misunderstood.

No fairer picture could be painted
no fairer day conceived. no more eX-

conspired 10 please and satisfy. Even
the prankish sun was warm.
Turning once more to the Toboggan
Tsndicap. High Noon, Stromboll and
Yankee Notions finished so close To-
cetber that only the judges could &C,
Suratelv separate them as they flashed
bv the finish with whips flying.
Heads apart it was, and mighty

brilliant struggle.
High Noon Stands Test.
High Noon. the three-year-old son OF
Voter MONDAY. proved q credit 10 MS
sire and a credit TO his capable trainer,
Dick Benson. He bore the brunt OF the
pacemaking. He shook off IN turn
Hester Prynne, the mammoth Top o
the Morning. the tenacious Yankee No
tons, and finally the fast closing
Strombol. That one more stride would
have meant his undoing counts for
nothing. He gave of his best IN Samest
fashion and he won.
The test was of a kind which left no
room for cavil High Noon is a horse
Of class, and maybe a great horse. lie
mas filled out into big, fine looking
fellow, and closely resembles his sire.
He vas in receipt of only seven pounds
by the scale from Strombol, he was
making his first appearance and lacked
the tightening up of a race, he ran the
six furlongs in 1909 35, only one sec
ond behind Jack Atkins record for the
track, and he proved his speed ann
heart.
Little wonder James Butler remarked
over and over again as one after an
other offered congratulations: Hes
good horse; he's brave horse"
Sam Hildreth was not satisfied to
have two strings to his bow. He
wanted three, but one of the three
snapped.
Rock View has not been cured of his
vile temper. The statement TO that
effect in the column a few days ago IS
retracted. Rock Views temper is viler
than ever. He was left az the post
yesterday, and it was his own fault.
AS TO the other races, the chart VIII
tell the story. Yet few words must
be said Of the Grand National Steeple-
chase Handicap.
August Belmont had another occasion
70 smile. His Rock Sand mare Mission,
coverly handled by Haynes, fenced
iautlessly and won after a sharp
struggle with Thomas Hitchcock's Kin
tore after clearing the last jump.

with.
Allen suffered bad fall with Bally

SAID later that he was not seriously in

Clifford A. Cochran scored double

snort Ballot in the second. Lilley rode
both winners.

most excellent judge lie TOLD a friend

hoyal Martyr to beat in the first race
and that Top O. tn Morning had

Handicap. Patterson was right.
Joe McCshey, the jockey, was kicked
~ the stomach by Success while dis
mounting after the second race.
here are lot of men who would
not mind being kicked around by sue

McCahey's dignity was the greatest
sufferer. Later he rode Hester Pyrnne.
