by Ginger" Land made his Eastern
debut at the Empire City racetrack
yesterday afternoon and, in the pres
ence Of some $4,000 people, walked
away with the $4,000 Whirl Stakes, the
feature event Of the Saturday pro-
gramme at the attractive Yonkers hip
podrome Admirably ridden by young
Max Garner. the handsome son of Ulti-
mus and WOODLAND picked up 121
pounds ard ran six other promising
youngsters of their feet, winning by
the greater part Of two lengths from
August Belmont's greatly improved
speeder, Deer Trap. which beat Andrew
Miller's Ticket to the wire by scant
head.
The other feature race of the after
noon, the Fleetwing Handicap, was ac-
counted for by Louis Feustel's bay
geldng He Will, winner Of the Nevada
Handicap at Jamaica. A world of
money was sent in on High Noon, James
Buffers entry for this embryo classic,
but the son Of Voter was not equal 70
the task of conceding eight perfectly
good pounds to He Will, which was of
to a flying start and made every post
winning one. High Noon got home in
second position, five lengths behind the
leader and two in front of Jacoba, a
black flly entered by w. X. Coe, which
ran third to Sand Marsh and High Noon

lIussy Disappoints.
Perhaps the saddest disappointment
of the afternoon came in the last race
of the day. when Hussy. a Star Shoot
filly owned by Willis Sharpe Kilmer
and backed into l-to-2 favoritism on
the lawn, failed miserably in her at
tempt to stall off the challenge Of her
half-sister. Fairy Wand, from the Gift
ford A. Cochran stable. Fairy Wand,
held as cheaply as 3 TO | by the mem
DRY brokers, made the atmosphere boil
as she few around the saucer, eyentu-
ally beating her relative to the wire by
three generous lengths.
Although Mr. Butler was forced to
cOncede the Fleetwing 70 Mr.. Feustel,
his afternoon was not without its pal
liating circumstances, his dainty filly
Capra, winner of the Kings County
Handicap and second to Celandria in
the Ladies Handicap at Belmont Park.
taking the measure of Mr.. Schorr's
other invader" Ed Crump, and three
other high class stake horses in the
second event of the afternoon.
The daughter of Ballot-Cap and
Bells, although practically neglected
in the oral wagering, was easily the
best of the field at the weights. Plotted
by Jockey Shilling, who rated her along
Just off the pace until the stretch was
reached, the Butler flly came on like
a New York Central express in the
final stages and raced Crump into sub
mission, covering the mile and seventy
yards in l:43 80. a fifth of second
slower than the track record.
Slumber ii Wins.
Slumber II, J. O. Talbott's pride and
10y. stepped out of his class a trife
TO win the opening event from a field
of seven fair selling platers. This Ham,
burg gelding, which has been running
as good as third 70 such horses as
Sand Marsh and Flying Fairy in the
Excelsior at Jamaica and Frlar Rock
and Pennant in the Brooklyn Handicap
at Aqueduct, had no difficulty whatever
in romping home in front of Bob Hens
ley, Libyan Sands. Plumose, Spring
mass. Tinkle Bell, Alberta True and
Day Day, which finished in the order
named.
The biggest field of the metropolitan
season faced the barrier for the fifth
contest, fifteen thoroughbreds thunder
ing over the mile course in quest of
victory. Carlton c., on which as good
as 10 to was obtainable from the
genial layers of odds, skipped home
ahead of the other fourteen ambitious
selling platers, with Good Counsel sec
ond and Ninety Simplex, the favorite,
a rather Indifferent third. Such horses
as Ambrose, Humiliation, Fuzzy Wuz-
~ and Ahara were lost in the shuttle
for position at the start. while DR..
Gremer and Napier were practically
left at the post.
Jockey Lee Mink led the afternoons
riders, having the stirrup on two win
ners and a third in four tries. Slum-
Der II was the only public choice to
come home in front. all the other win
ners being second choices or rank out
siders. so far as the form players were
concerned.
