Havre de Grace Sept. l5.--Andrew
Miller's Roamer remains the champion.
The wonderful little son Of knight Err
rant and Rose Tree II was an easy win
ner of the Havre de Grace Handicap
here this afternoon, and he carried l2e
pounds the mile and furlong. distance
in 1:5l 10, a new track record for the
distance.
l.. S. Thompson's Slumber II was the
one to race to the place, while August
Belmonts Stromboli, winner Of the
Metropolitan and Suburban handicaps,
was third and Richard T. Wilson's Tar
tar, winner of the Brooklyn Handicap
and the only other starter, was last.
II was just another of those races
that long since made Roamer the cham
pion. He jumped 70 the front at the
rise Of the barrier. and after Butwell
had ridden him into a safe lead he took
hold of him and he braezed along we'll
clear of his field for the entire trip.
At the head OF the stretch he w!dened
his margin slightly and at the end he
was still in hand.
Andrew Miller came over from New
York to see the gelding run, and there
were several other New Workers who
were attracted By the big handicap.
The L. S. Thompson silks were first
in two of the races of the day when
the two-year-old half-brother to Bus
kin, Slipshod, won the opening dash
from August Belmont's Malachite and
f.. J. Albright's Favour, and the maiden
Scaramouch beat a very ordinary lot
Of maidens.
In this race Ventura fell with Paul
Louder shortly after the break, but
fortunately the boy was unhurt. After
her tumble the mare chased after her
field and, finding her way through on
the rail, she finished second to Scara-
mouch, riderless.
The steeplechase of the afternoon
went to c. r. Fleischmanns Astute,
but his score was only made possible
because Dupee, who rode Racebrook,
took his mount up when he thought he
had the race won.
