! HANRE DE GRACE. April r4-The
| colors of the millionaire turfman, Mar
ry Payne Whitney. again were borne
to the front in stake race at the local
| course, when Slumber II. four-year-
old by Hamburg-Forget won the Phila-
delphia handicap. a six furlong race for
three-year- olds and upward. Slumber
won. but had the distance been a jump
farther the winner would have been
Amos Turneys Waterbass. a four-year
old by Waterboy. There were six
starters, five named overnight, and
kingly added. The Whitney pair.
Slumber and Gino. were the popular
choices. but there was a great deal of
demand for Waterbass and kingly.
When the field was sent away Slumber
went into the lead. but Kewessa took
after him. and the two ran Tapped with
Slumher in front to the stretch. where
Slumber forged away. He looked to be
an easy winner a furlong from home.
but Waterbass, who had been slow to
begin found his legs when the straight
was reached. and was running over his
horses in the last furlong. He made up
many lengths, and was catching Slum-
Der at every stride when the finish
was reached. Waterbass' performance
indicates that this horse will be hard
to beat the next time he starts in any
company.
kewessa backed UP in the last six
teenth and lasted only long enough to
take third place from kingly. Gino,
who ran sensational race last Satur-
day, and we'll liked today, ran
where he beloh ged-last The race was
run in liz 20, which was very fast,
the first half being covered in As As.
Miramichi Bumps Belamour.
Mira MICH got down in front In the
third race, but the stewards disquali-
fed him for interfering with the sec
| ond horse. Belamour. Miramichi was
the favorite at odds on, and he had the
speed of his field. In the run home
Belamour Joined Miramichi. and the
latter started bearing out. Every time
Belamour made move, Miramichi
carried him wide. and the stewards.
when Butwell lodged a complaint of
foul promptly allowed it.
The steeplechase went to Mike Days
Garter who dashed into a safe lead In
the early running and kept it to the
wire. Abdon might have made it inter
esting for Garter had his rider gone to
the whip, but apparently Booth was
| content to let his mount go on without
touching him. OwanuX. second choice,
after running well up for d turn of the
u,
was pulled up.
Fair Helen made it two in a row
when she took the opener rather easily
from Minstrel and Hiker. The third
went to j. o. Talbott's Jawbone. who
grabbed the lead from Richard Lang
don. the Bowie marvel, and easily won.
Richard Langdon stopped all over, and
Orperth beat him for the place The
last went to Buzz Around. who waited
ON Al Bloch and Gerard to the stretch
and then came away.
BY ruling of the stewards, the en-
tries of J. W. Hedrick hereafter will be
refused. This ruling comes as a result
of the bidding up of Ada Anne yes
terday, after she had won the first race.
Hedrick's Sherwood was second in the
man named McCahey. When it came
time to pay in the money McCahey re-
nesed, and aid that he had bid on the
horse at the request of Hedrick. When
the latter was called on for an explana-
ton. the stewards said, he did not give
a satisfactory answer, hence the ruling
