SAM McMEEKIN BID UP

The mixture OF runaway races an
hard fought contests which were serve
on the sixth day Of the westcheste
Racing Association at Belmont Park yes
terday failed to please the crowd Of 800
racegoers. Small fields ruled. except Il
the maiden race that wound up the pro
gramme. In two Of the events the I'm
ishes were indicated by extravagant odd
laid on the ~favorites. One spectacle
climbed up to the press box just befor,
Ginord A. Cochran's Triple Crown gal
loped away with the Bouquet Stake
from only n competitor and voiced hi
opinion that in races such az that unde'
way he was not getting his three dol
lars worth.
A contest worthy Of the history OF thu
Bouquet Stakes might a been pro
vided but for the forced withdrawal o.
James Buffers Breeze. U~nfortunatei,
this speedy son OF Ballot hit his leg Will,
racing at Jamaica and the leg filled W
after his final workout SO that there wa,
no alternative but to scratch him. Thi,
left the stake at the mercy OF Triple
Crown, which started a | to 6 ~favorits
and just breezed home eight lengths ir
front OF kImball Paterson's Old Drury
The explanation announced for the small
field Is that many OF the horses stabbed
at the track are coughing, and 1t is hoped
that the condition of affairs will be
remedied before long.
The Garden City Selling Handicap pro.
vided the best race of the afternoon. the
four horses finishing within two lengths
after a dash of six and a half furlongs
on the main course. clifford A. Coch-
rams Royal Martyr was made ~favorite,
but just as she appeared to have a chance
to win McCahey stopped riding and John
Whalcn's Pullux held a lengths ad-
vantage at the end. True as steel. as
usual, set a sizzling pace and opened a
lead Of two lengths, only to blow up In
tho stretch and finished las half "A length
behind Libyan Sands. which was beaten
a head for the place by Royal Martyr.
After James Buffers Ivory Black had
salloped of with tho first race for
maiden t~wo-year-olds the spectators
were treated 10 q real thrill in the
second because Haynes drew a fine
finish with August Belmont's Sam Nc
Meekin so that he only won by a head
from Emile Here's Ida Claire, which
set the pace all the way. Monocacy.
second choice to Sam McMeekin. ruined
his chances by running out on the back
stretch and again wandering from the
beaten path in the stretch run.
Two of the five competitors in the
selling steeplechase came To grief. Race

The white ard blue spots Of Foxhall
T. Keene flashed to the front for the
first time his season when Churchill. a
son Of Sweep. graduated from the
maiden class in the last race. Though
well supported his victory was some
