Eugene Leigh Wins First
Purse Of Season With
High Olympus

With the Lawrence Realization 20 be
run this Afternoon at Belmont Park
and the long-lookcd fos meeting be
tween August Belmont's Hourless and
Wilfred Viau's Omar Khayvam, both
imported horses. the dsy looms up as
the biggest offered by the Wcstchester
Assc citation during the season.
Both colts are apparently ut ahd
ready for the trying mile and ha!f
test. Omar Khsyyam was brought over
from Havre de Grace b. Trainer Car
man and he was brnezed six f1rlongs IN
1865. ard il was sufficient to demon
strate that ne had his foot Hour
less has had his final and IL was salts
flying to Trainer Hildreth, and with
favorable weather and track conditions
a great race is sure TO result.
The feature Offering yesterday re-
suited in very much OF q surpi1se when
Emil Hers Daddy's Choice, colt that
has been we'll beaten in recent races,
was winner over he nile and SIX
teenth distance of the Cedsrhurst
Handicap from James Buffers Wisttuil,
8. c. Hildreth's Viewpoint and Joseph
L. Widener's imported son Of Spear
mint. Chiclet. On his last previous
race Daddy's Choice, under the same
weight, was badly beaten ny Beaverhlli
and Bally. Yesterday he was diff
fcrent horse, and after following the
pace to the stretch he came on TO a
very clever victory. On his previous
showing il was natural TO expect that
all three Of those starting against him
would beat him home.
Reddest Wins Chase
The steeplechasc Of the afternoon
went to Reddest. the Canadian jumper,
owned by D. Raymond, of Montreal, and
trained BY James Boden. 1t produced
first class contest, but WAS marred by
an accident TO Med Henderson, who had
the leg I'D on Morton L. Schwartz's
Archdale. At the second fence Arch
dale made a bad landing ard Hender-
son was tossed from the saddle. FOR
time il was feared that ne had been
seriously hurt and the ambulance was
rushed across the field, bat il later de-
welcomed that he haG been only tempo
rarily knocked out, and It IS probable
that ne will be seen in the saddle again
this afternoon.
II. Eugene Leigh. who trained on both
sides OF the Atlantic with success, won
his first purse Of the season when high
Olvmpus. n colt he purchased from Au-
gust Belmont, ran off with the :ifth.
selling affair for the two-year-olds.
At a meeting OF the stewards OF the
Jockey Club held Thursday the appl-
cation of Thomas McTaggart for
Jockey license was denied. McTaggart
was SUSPENDED early in the season Tor
a violation o. the rules prohibiting bet
ting on races except through recog-
nized agents or employers.
At the same meeting Captain Cassat..
was sustained in his Interpretation OF
the French claiming rule as 1t has been
applied 70 American racing. captain
Cassa.t claimed Alteration I'd at the
conclusion CT one OF those races during
the Saratoga meeting. The stewards
ruled that under the conditions OF the
race the claim could only be made be-
fore the running. This ruling was re-
yersed by the stewards Of the Jockey
Club. and John Sanford has been IN
s.ructed to turn the FLY over TO Cap
tain Cassatt. The claim was made only
for the purpose Of testing the rule, and
Il il probable that Captain Cassatt VIII
sell the FLY back TO Mr.. Sanford.

South America for considerable time,
was granted a jockey license, while the
application. of ". I. Anderson for
license 10 train was denied.
