dame-Martian Takes High
weight Handicap.

Two old campaigners won the feature
races at Belmont Park yesterday after
noon. ]. w. Mays six-year-old chest
nut mare Bayberry Candle romped on
with the Bedame. six furlong dash
for mares three years old and upward.
while II. W. Sages old brown gelding
Martian galloped home first in the
Swish, lightweight handicap at a mile
and half on the fat
That Mays old mare would take the
Beldame was the belief of practically
every one at the track. On past per-
formances she outclassed August Bel
mont's Sereneet. the Oak Ridge Stables
Sea Wave and H. II. Hewitts Avis, the
| other starters, and those who were
willing to lay price against her made
her the prohibitive favorite at 1 TO ).
After leading every foot of the journey
Bayberry Candle finished three lengths
ahead of Sea Wave.
! With Martian in the Swish It was
! different He has shown great flight
Of early speed in recent races through
the field. but always stopped before
three-Quarters OF the route had been
! completed AS a result few racegoers
believed he could beat such good stayers
, as r. l.. Gerrys Sharpshooter or r. L.
Ahles's Little Nearer, and the liberal
odds of to 1 were ohtainable against
| him. As in his other races Martian
darted from the barrier and quickly
opened up big gap He didn't stop un-
til he had passed the judges four lengths
ahead OF Little Nearer, which was hve

Corn Tassel by a Nose.
r. r. Wilson. Jr.'s. imported gelding
Corn Tassel displayed plenty OF courage
in the fourth race. a sweepstakes at one
mile. Apparently out of the race at the
head OF the stretch. he came with a
rush when Strengthened out for home
and in a driving finish managed to wear
down p. A. Clark's Battle and win on
the post by head
Because OF his great race with Skeptic
last week Emil Herzs Manister Toi was
an odds on favorite with Corn Tassel
second choice, and to l obtainablo
against Harvest King and Battle, the
only other contestants.
The sixth race went to A. X. Ma
comber's bay colt War Machine after a
desperate drive through the stretch with
August Belmont's Drastic. Drastic had
the most early speed and was two
lengths in front of the Aed an eighth Of
mile from home. He faltered in the
final run and was unable to beat of
War Machines terrific rush at the end.
Easy for Doublet.
J. F.. widencr's Doublet scored an
. easy victory in the two mile steeple-
chase. After boltng to the side Of the
track after clearing next to the last OBJ

the Folly Farms Pandean without doing
