IN such clear-cut style.
Sun Briar. which was favored by
,,r,ssn mounds over Lucullite, and
.b;-,sen over Tracksend. caught the
psir tiring in the last sixteenth, and
srove ahead TO win. He received d

when the final test came.
Old Rosebud Real Horse
Second in importance on an excep-
,;o,al card that provided some Of the
hes. racing seen this season was the
oueers County Handicap. for three
vssr.olds and upward Old Rosebud,
whose return 20 form after serious
breakdown three years ago hss peen
enc Of the features Of the year, was
hrs, home. beating Andrew Mlllers
Rosner and J. I. WNener's Chiclet,
among others.
Old Rosebud ran back 70 his race in
he Brooklyn Handicap when he fin
iAsi third 70 Borrow and Regret. He
was the best Of his company, and,
moving into the lead while rounding
the first turn, proceeded 10 set dizzy
pace for the remainder Of the dis
tance. The track was slow and heavy
after the rain Of Friday, but Old
Rosebud ran the mile in 1887 3-5 sec
onds. This was only 1-5 seconds be-
hind the record for the stake, set by
Short Grass last year.
The one flaw in an otherwise perfect
afternoon Of racing was the cuppy
condition Of he course. A clearer,
brisker day could not have been
wished. A snappy breeze kept the
temperature down within bounds, and,
while the horses had TO race against
Il running through the stretch, there
we're few 20 complain.
When the field Of five answered the
,all 70 the post in the Great American
chief interest centred around Lucullite
and Tracksend. In their only other
meeting. which took place in the
Kssne Memorial, the Macomber juve-
nile won handily over a muddy track.
He enjoyed an advantage Of twelve
pounds in that race, and speculation
was rife on the outcome Of this race,
when weights were almost equal. Sun
Brar, Pspp and The Spinner. the
other starters, received s.ant stten-
} ton. Drastic alone was scratched.
Tracksend Breaks in Front
Al the fash Of the barrier Tracksend
broke in front, racing 70 the lead with
a show Of foot that was remarkable
under the conditions. Hard at his
side ran Pap2, the speedy but tempera-
mental Loft entry. Lucullite was
kird and Sun Briar next to last. 1t
, vas not long before the hooded head
81 Lucullte showed in front by mar
row margin. with Tracksend racing at
'is throat latch.
