It's hold on New Workers yesterday when
n crowd that seemed TO exceed In num-
bers the vast assemblage on the opening
day poured through the gates Of Rel
mont Park TO witness the running Of the
third days programme. Uncertainty Is
one Of the chief charms Of the sport and
considered from that standpoint the
visitors to the beautiful track yesterday
had a glorious day. Long priced horses
rolled home one after another and the
climax was reached when August Rel
mont's imported colt Hourless won the
historic Juvenile Stakes from a field OF
nine richly bred youngsters.
In the short dash Of i've and . half
furlongs the Belmont entry was, with
the exception Of the added starter Sol

chance Of victory. tt brown son of
Negufol-IIour GLASS II. was making his
first start and had shown nothing In his
trials to indicate that he could hold his

several smart youngsters, four OF which

Al incident which reminded old timer

complement of m mbers of the Coaching
Club. in time to take luncheon before
attending the sale and viewing the Faces.
The coach, perfectly equipped. Sc mod

than did the countless automobiles whi,h
taxed the capacity of the parking spaces
and brought, hundreds from their Long
Island homes as well as thousands from
the greater city.
There was a crush in the clubhouse
enclosure and on every hand were seen
men notable in society and in the busi-
ness life OF New York. Most conspicu-
u Of all was Robert billiard. who re
ated a record for the season by sporting
a Palm Beach suit. The actor looked
comfortable and like a winner early in
the day. when the sun shone with its
greatest powers, but II, looked as 10 he,
like most of the had picked

It was a brilliant collection tina. an

hrst Of the big two-year-old stakes of
the year.. one that has helped to max,
turf history since 1874. when it was
first run at Jerome Park. Two of
the imported horses that are depended
on TO enliven the sport this saa-
sol were among the nine which
sported silk. one being W. II. Goes Jack
Mount, a distinguished looking son Of
Amadis. which had the honor of leading
the parade.
The other was Hourless, almost neg
lected before the race. only to he lionized
with greater fervor after his gallant VIC
tory. Though imported Hourless is an
American product. as he was bred by
Mr.. Belmont in England. His sire, Ne

richly bred. he being by Chlldwick, a
son OF ST. Simon, while his dam was the

that the win was acceptable in every
way to the chairman Of the Jockey
Club.
Jack Mount had won imprcssively on
his first start on the opening day at
Belmont. and was considered so danger

Butler pair, Breeze and Ivory Black.
The Cochran pair. Jock Scot and Mary
