win in the last stride By the width OF

roared and shouted and cheered. IL
Is not given more than once or twice
in lifetime TO see such finish be-
tween three such good horses.

finish. Rarely has this boy risen TO
such great heights.
Harmonicon forced the pace and Joe
Notter exercised all his cleverness IN
irving 20 nurse his firing mount home,
but the distance was just too far IN
the company opposed, and a slight fal-
tering night at the end cost the son
Of Disguise the purse.
Those who were at the track can
count themselves fortunate in seeing
one Of the greatest races ever run:
Roamer never ran a better one IN al
his triumphs. for he had much to over
come. and the same perhaps can be sald
Of StromDoh.
Turner. who rode Mr.. Belmont's
horse. went before the stewards and
lodged q claim of foul. charging that
Butwcll interfered with him in the run
through the stretch The stewards did
not consider it seriously. however. and
rightly. while part Of the crowd al
ready deep stirred Kissed its disap-
proval as the boy climbed the stairs.
Stromboli did drop cut Of it for
few strides halfway iown the stretch
only 20 come again, but IT did not look
from the stand as if he suffered any
Interference.
ASH 10 make amends for the slaugh-
ter Of faVorites on Monday, six inst
choices raced by the Judges IN front
Yesterday. So are the ups and downs
of the sport eaualized.
Jimmy Butweli, who is riding as ne
never rode before. accepted five mounts
and won four races. He began with
Broomvale and followed along with
Roamer. CoGuette and Star Gift He
was unplaced with Beverly James in
the third race.
The steeplechase developed almost
into shambles. Riderless horses and
fallen jockeys were scattered all over
the field before the race was half over.
Nine horses went TO the post and four
finished with Bonny Laddie. which
fairly outclassed his company, winning
as he pleased.
Walker. who had the mount on d.
Duenner. had an ugly fall at the first
hedge. The horse appeared TO roll over
him, and many in the crowd turned
away as the boy lay stretched out as
n dead. Fortunately. the accident was
not serious. although Walker suffered a
broken collarbone. as did Jolley, who
also came 20 grief with Hustler at
jump on the backstretch.
Death did claim one victim. however.
Always First broke his leg and had to
lie destroyed.
Hanovia has developed an ugly tenn
per. She wanted 10 do everything ex-
cept face the barrier in the slX-fur-
long handicap and gave McCahey and
the assistant starters bad three min
utcs.
Tommy McTaggart. who was rein
stated this spring after years sus-
pension, will be az the track on FRIDAY
ready 20 accept mounts. lie Is on ms
way here from Denver. and for the
present will ride as a free lance.
Buekhorn. winner Of the Brooklyn
Handicap last year. made his first ap-
pearance in the East in the Queens
County Handicap. but was never promi-
nent. lie looked well. however. and is
likely TO do better the next time he
