.Brickley Spells
Clean Slate for
Five Favorites

Favorites romped home winners in
four of the five races at the third day
of the race meeting at the Staten
Island Fair Grounds, Dongan Hills,
yesterday. Brickley spoiled clean
slate of favorite victories when he was
unable to finish better than third in
the last race on the programme.
The crowd was the largest Of the
meeting, and apparently the majority
had thought well of the choices, as
they left the grounds in high spirits.
The racing was the best yet seen, and
the times made were fast.
The most thrilling finish was re-
turned by Checks, the chestnut gelding
of w. H. Hogan, who came with a
brilliant sprint in the stretch to win
from Hawthorne by head. The lat
ter, making her first start in many
months, showed a great flash of speed
for the greater part of the six and
half furlongs. He then weakened,
and Checks, which had got off none
too we'll, succeeded in getting with
striking distance of the leaders in the
homestretch. Eddie Taplin, who had
the mount on Checks, then let down
his charge and passed his rivals In
quick fashion, nipping Hawthorne a
few strides from the wire.
Preston Lynn recorded an easy VIC
tory in the fifth race, at one and one
sixteenth miles. off in front, Jockey
! Mulcahey kept Preston Lynn in front
throughout, and came home an easy
winner by two lengths. Brickley, the
favorite, swerved badly rounding the
second turn, and was never able TO
make up the lost ground.
Another sensational finish was seen
in the fourth race, when Brooks, the
brown gelding Of j. E. Davis, tram
Piled all over his rivals coming down
the stretch. Nonesuch, with Eddie
Taplin up, was rushed AWAY at the
start, and at one time had a lead Of
four lengths. However, Taplin found
that his charge could not sustain this
speed to the tape, as Nonesuch fall
tered in the final few yards. Brooks
was in a pocket for quite a distance,
but when he got running showed his
real speed. moving up from fourth TO
first, to win by a head.
