Pounds Too Much for Him
in TuckahOe.
NJ HENRY v. KING.

s. c. Hildreths Lucullite was defeated
by James Butler's Baily in the Tucka-
hoe Handicap at tho Empire City track
yesterday afternoon. The renowned son
OF Trap Rock and Lucky Lass ran a
real good race. but he was unable to
give Mr.. Buffers hve-year-old son of
Ballot seventeen pounds and was beaten
In a driving finish by a length.
The result indicated the Judgment of
Walter s. vosburgh. the official handi-
cspper. He assigned Lucullite 130
pounds, Bally ia, Ticket 1o5 and Mary
Maud 80. In his opinion these ailot-
ments gave every horse chance OF
victory. but the men who lay the odds
did not agree with him and made Lucul-
lite a prohibitive favorite at to Z, with
Bally the second choice at to 1.
But as In nearly all handicaps there
was no to shot In the race when Mr..
Vosburgh had finished his work. His
figures had made the race an open one,
and they were not far out of the way
for only Mary Maud disappointed HIM
She showed little early foot. but quit
at the three-quarter pole and was beaten
on. Ticket ran a good race and waf
close third.
The victory OF Bally was a popular
one. 1t was the first slime this season
that Mr.. Buffers colors flashed home In
front, ana when Bally passed the judges
the crowd accorded him a royal ovation
