messed the racing to-day the surprise OF
the season when he won the fourth race.
a seven furlong handicap. with Friz.'e,
a French horse that he purchased this
spring for s. X. Knapp for $500. FIFE.
Gle was at the fine odds Of 20 to at
one time and won out In a drivlns nhisn
from Blind Baggage.
When Karrick bought Frixxle the horse
was high in flesh and not IN training.
Frizxle showed "A great deal OF temper
and Karrick had a hard time to make
him work. In two tsrts at the local
New York tracks he practically was ieft
at the post. Recently Frixxle's temper
improved and a few days age he worked
a fas. six furlongs. He steadily Inn
proved, and to-day with only 1oi pounds
up Karrick considered him worth a bet.
Frixzle broke poorly. but made up n
treat deal of ground and caught Blind
Baggage, the leader. at the head OF the
stretch. From there home Frizzle wore
down Blind Baggage n won easily.
Two OF the side lights In connection
with this race was the failure OF Jockey
Davies. the regular rider OF the Oneck
stable. to seriously consider Friszle's
chance TO win. Davies accepted the
mount on Blind Baggage to win and re-
ceived u shock when he found Friszle
alongside OF him at the head OF the
stretch. Davies rode desperately to a
u his stables horse. but could not pre-
vent him from winning.

The other incident Of the race was the
attempt by A. n. Macomber to. win -
race with a native bred horse. Hank
O'Day. Mr.. Macomber has been racing
English and French bred horses all year
and to date has not won "A race all sea-
son. Hank O'Day ran far below his pre-
vious form here-he had previously won
two races-and the Macomher colors
again trailed In the dust.
Clifford A. Cochran. the wealthy turf
man Of New York. mad a lucky day. His
clever trainer. Willie Midgele.. scored
twice with Burlcsque and Madeira, the
hllies winning the first and last races re-
spectively. Madeira outc!assed her op-
ponents. and many Of the clubhouse con-
tingent that had lost heavily on the first
lve races evened up their losses when
she galloped rome the winner In q romp.

Shyness was a topheavy favorite at :

margin Of three inches from Gold Crest
