Pebbles sulked, or az least that was
the opinion of James Butler, who was
plainly upset a. what he rightfulIy
called bad. bad race.
Mr.. Butler made no effort 70 apollo
gize or suggest an alibi for the son OF
Ben Brush Running Stream. Further
more, he gave all credit 70 The Finn
and called attention 70 his fine action
and smooth way OF racing. Has as
appointment came not IN the loss OF
the race. but in the poor performance
of his horse.
Pebbles Far From Himself.
"The Finn may be better than Peb,
hles." he said. "but nobody can tell
ne that ms horse can't give HIM
fight. and he made no fight this after
noon. Everybody had reason to ex
pect much Of him, but everybody could
see that ne did not begin 10 run MS
race. and Dick Benson thought he was
in fine condition. Borel tells me tnat
ne would not extend himself, and IL
looks 10 me rs IL he sulked. lie ran
one other bad race at Laurel last iall'
in which ne acted much the same way
I'm sorry he did so badly -,
In truth Pebbles ran far below ms
true form, and il seems pity II 'he
good three-year-old has developed
remneranent which will keep HIM IN
hot water throughout the season. ne
was a trailer from the start yeste,
dav and. while he showed one i,t'e
eash ~ speed when Borel reused MN
Nth the whip Just before the stretch
turn. he quickly dropped out OF y sgs,h
after a little humping with Hall hoeh'
and simply would not respond 10 'he
further vigorous use OF the whip.
The Finn Just galloped along in front
oil tho way. 20 win, eased up, IN tne
oood Time OF 2:ls2-5 for the mile and
,hrea furlongs over the S course. on
ybich this particular race Is run. Hal'
Rock. a colt. by Rock sand-Half Sow
ereior which A. Carson bought from
Nr BELMONT last fall, was well up
,,ost 81 the way, but The Finn shook
rim off in the stretch without appar-
emily lengthening his stride.
Alter the race Ed Hetfner went up
in the stewards stand 70 receive the
silver cup. valued at $3.50. offered b.
August Belmont as a trophy. in add
,ion 70 the guaranteed value OF s2,5Vo.
The smile he wore will be reflected
many times on the face OF MI Hallen-
heck as he looks at the cup decorating
his sideboard.
Big Crowd Enjoys Sport.
Close 70 twenty thousand men and
women enioyed a thoroughly good
davis racing. in spite OF the disappoint-
ing performance Of Pebbles In the Bel
mont Stakes. They saw John +. Mad
don win two races with Sam McMeeken
and Stellarina. and they saw j. W.
Nesservy's Addie VI. beat a strong fc!d
of mares and FLIES in the Ladies' Han
dcap. at one mile.
Whitley Langdon sent Addie NJ. 10
the post in perfect condition. and the
FLY justified the confidence he so
freely expressed 10 all those who in
ouired Joe Byrne rode her with ex-
cellent Judgment. rousing her with the
whip shortly after the start, placing
her in a good position In the run
around the turn, and coming on In the
stretch after Pomette Bleu and Come
" had raced each other into submits
sion.
LADY Rotha, which finished second
70 Addie NJ, was unfortunate at the
start. otherwise she would have forced
the winner out. James Buffers Come
~. making her first appearance o. the
season, bolted as the barrier went up
and completely knocked Lady Rotha out
OF her stride. She was distant trailer
for six furlongs, but closed with rush
in the stretch in way 70 indicate that
she might have won except for the IN
fortunate handicap.
FLYING Fairy had plenty Of early foot,
