would have drawn the death penalty
from any half-mile outlaw merry-go-
round.
A. X. Macomber's Motor Cop, clev-
erly ridden by Johnny Lotus, won
the Montague Handicap with $1,000
added, which was the feature of the
afternoon. Lotus, as is his wont,
simply out-jockeyed those presumably
high class riders opposed to him, and
these were of the best in silks appear
ing on the metropolitan tracks.
The Macomber colt, which carried
the heavy impost Of i2s pounds, had
only one good chance to show his heels
to his company. That was to sprint
out from the barrier rise and race
the others dizzy and leg-weary. This
the crafty LOTUS did without undue
display or ceremony. He held the
race safe all the way.
But it should be remembered that
there is nothing under saddle that
has greater earlier foot than High
Cost. This one is the greatest three
furlongs thing seen this season. High
Cost broke with Motor Cop, yet High
Cost permitted Motor Cop to outfoot
him from the very. start. A bad in
sinuation against Troise and High
Cost, doubtless, but merited one.
This High Cost, wonderful sprinter
that he is, trailed the heavy-weighted
Motor Cop throughout the first five
lengths. 1t looked bad. mighty bad,
looked worse when Troise insisted
upon taking long and tortuous
course around the stretch turn and
through the stretch run. How his
ride ever got past the stewards with
cut question Is puzzle as mystifying
as the age of Anne. Salvestra, an
added starter, ran a remarkable race
and took the place in the very last
stride. This one came from next to
