Jamaica meeting over going much SIM
.lar to that of yesterday. which ap-
uesred somewhat more sloppy than
heavy, the winner Of one division of the
rich Preakness was an odds-on favorite
in the field of eight that paraded to the
uost. Eight only were named origi-
nalIy to 90 in the classic. w. r. Goes
imported Nutcracker and A. K. Macom-
ber's imported Porte Drapeau were
both scratched on account of the un-
favorable condition Of the track. but
Chief Lally and Bolster were added to
give the field its original balance.
Jack Hare Well Placed
It was classy looking lot of three
ysar-olds that paraded to the post for
the feature race, though of the lot Jack
Hare, Jr., seemed to fit in nicely where
he was placed, both in the parade and
st the fnish-in position No. 1. The
start, of course--it being mile and a
sixteenth race-was right in front of
the densely packed grandstand. Mars

feet alignment. Lyke was right on the
Job, and had his mount on his toes for
the spring Of the webbing.
The favorite was in a pretty good
position, being fourth from the rail and
out bit from the sloppiest footing
Lyke was therefore able to crowd the
favcrite to slight lead over Matinee
Idol before the first turn. On the turn
into the backstretch the favorite had
drawn out a full length in front Of
Matinee Idol, which in turn was being
closely pressed by Recount.
eByrne, who had the leg up on Mat
nee Idol, here made mistake that

Jack Hare. meanwhile, was keeping
up his grilling pace and drawing
further and further away from Recount
at.eyery post. Evidently Lyke had de-
cided after his favorable getaway to
run away from the others before the
stretch was reached, if possible. Re-
count hung on gamely, however. As the
was seen that Lyke was riding Jack
Hare, Jr., for all he was worth-and
Lyke can ride. be it remembered.
