Jyntee set new figures for the six

which was one-ffth second faster than
the old mark. made by W. Il. Goes
Polymelian the second day of the pres
ent meeting.
Tuscaloosa. one Of the two winning
favorites. was really one of the very
best bets of the meeting, but such a
heavy play was made on the Coe Stable
that the odds against the favorite re-
ceded from to to to 6. Tusca-
loosa had such foot that it was only
q question OF getting any sort of an
even break at the barrier.
Runs Away From Rivals
Little Walls got the favorite off

others. This clever jockey took the
shortest route home and almost with .

AT the quarter he was leading by
nearly a length and at the half had
opened up gap of five good lengths. :

had some sort of an argument with
Trainer Walter Jennings the day after
the running of the Belmont at Belmont
Park. During that race, in which ne

1t was insinuated that he had not rd-
den War Cloud according to stable in-
structions.
Buxton succeeded LOTUS, but did So
poorly with these good thoroughbreds
that he was excused several days ago. :
Macomber's horses, with such good
riders as Lyke and Robinson, showed
such startling form reversal the past
few days that the reinstatement Of
Lotus was a foregone conclusion. The
stable will be represented in all the i'm
portant stakes, and it would have been
impossible to secure the best riders
from other stables, which also have
engagements.
To be sure it would have been i'm
possible to get LOTUS anywhere else.

one Johnny LOTUS. He is the last word
