6trombol!, with the double crown OF
the Metropolitan and Suburban, to-
! gether with FIVE other stakes Of lesser
Importance to his credit, brought much
of the racing honors for tho year 70
the stable Of August Belmont
Perhaps thu most notable tgure on
the turf was Sam Jackson, the come
back" horse The seven-year-old son
OF Garry Herrmann-Rayello II broke
down In 1913, and after q year away
from the races returned TO establish
real greatness. lie ran third In the
Suburban and first In several minor
handicaps. To set the seal on his worth
he won the Mount Vernon Handicap, at
one mile, in tho amazing time Of
1888 AS on July 81 at Aqueduct
This time was only ons-Afth Of Q
second behind the worlds record, set
by Stromboli In 1914 at Belmont Park,
but Sam Jackson's race was run around
two turns.
Well up on the list Of the really good
older horses seen under colors was Fl.
P. Whitney's Borrow, which captured
the Kentucky Handlcapj Tartar, which
beat Roamer a head and won r. T. Will
son his first Brooklyn Hsndicapj Addie
NJ. and the ill-fsted Morse King, which
broke a leg In the Suburban and was
destroyed.
Few Of the three-y.sr-olds, with the
exception Of Regret, lived up TO their
, promise Of the year before Tho Finn,
thrown in for good measure when II.
c. Hallenbeck bought Iron Duke for
fancy price from John E. Madden,
was the best of the lot earlier in the
season. The black son Of Ogden-Li-
vonia won eight stakes, including tho
Withers and the Belmont, and si3,s55
in purses.
Schuyler L. Psrsons's Phosphor,
winner Of tho Carter Handicap; Cap
tain L. 3. Cassatt's Trial by Jury and
He VIII, more than an ordinarily good
platter, were the most consistent Of the
others.
II. P. Whitney held the whip hand
In the two-year-old division.
His Thunderer, the unbeaten broth
er TO Regret, won the Futurity from
the Brookdale-bred Bromo and four
teen other good ones. Dominant,

United States Hotel Stakes, the Sara

and beating the best of his age, in
GLIDING the much-heralded Kentucky

Thunderer and Dominant stood out.
Then there was Chicle, an English bred
colt, by Spearmint-Lady Hamburg II;
Adroit, filly which was credited with
the fastest six furlongs of the year,
1909 down the straight at Belmont
Park, and Remembrance, q consistent
performer IN Canada. Whimsy, a cast
of from the Brookdale Farm, beat all
these consecutively late in the fall, and
ranks with the best o. her sex.
Foxhall p. keene brought the famous
white, blue spots, back 70 the turf, and
they were carried not without honor by
Puss In Boots, q two-year-old flly Of
the first flight. Ormesdale, a colt by
dale-M adchen, which won the
Keene Memorial and the Great Ameri-
can Stakes for Y. T. Wilson, showed
great promise, and then trained of. The
same could be said for James Buffers
Paddy Whack.
II. II. Henry's Bonnie Laddie, a four
year-old bay gelding by Dorante-Maid
