HAVRE DE GRACE. Md, September
16.-H. c. Hallenback's four-year-o
black colt, The Finn. this afternoon
won the best race for older horses that
has been run this year. 1t was in the
Chesterbrook handicap, for three-year-
olds and upward, at a mile and a six
feenth. and the son of Ogden and
Tivonia earned his victory. Behind
him were Roamer, Stromboli, Short
Grass, Bayberry. Candle, Daddy's
Choice, Borrow and Capra in the order
named. While The Finn won, and at
the end was going handily. Roamer.
last years champion. might have turned
the tables with better racing luck and
q better ride. Andrew Miller, Roamer's
owner, put up Jockey ]. LOTUS instead
of Jimmy" Butwell. who has ridden
the son of knight Errant in all Of his
winning races. and this change of
riders probably cost Mr.. Miller the
race. LOTUS gave a poor exhibition OF
riding and succeeded splendidly in get
ting Roamer into all kinds of pockets
during the running Roamer is a front
runner. and. breaking quickly today, it
appeared that he could have gone to
the front, but at the first turn he was
shufhed back, and going into the back
stretch Roamer was bottled up in the
bunch. Meantime capra and Bayberry

the backstretch there was a general

brief. however. and he retired TO the
ruck. The Finn. on the outside, then
began to move up, and Roamer and
Stromboli were struggling along nobly,
trying to wiggle through. Schuttinger,
on The Finn, was clear of interference,
and on the upper turn he had closed
on Bayberry Candle, Capra having re-
tired LOTUS. unable to get through,
took Roamer to the outside, and the
gallant little gelding began his run
The handicap he suffered in the early
running. however, was too great, and
The Finn, who had disposed of Bay
berry Candle, came on to a two-length
victory Roamer made determined
effort to close the gap, but was un-
equal to the task. Johnny McTaggart,
on Stromboli, after separating himself
from the bunch, saved ground on the
turn for home. and Stromboli easily
beat the others, but he could never
get to Roamer. Short Grass, as usual.
