BY HENRY ". KING.

Joseph e. widener's imported colt
Trompe La Mort came back to the races
after long absence yesterday afternoon
and romped of with the Hamburg Han
dicap, the feature of the card at Aque-
duct. While working at Belmont Park
early In the season he spread hoof ard
was thrown out of training. Under care
full handling by Thomas Welsh the in
jured hoof mended quickly and yester-
day 1t was apparently as good as ever.
The Hamburg was at eleven furlongs
and Trompe La Mort, George Starr.
lima Frank and L'Errant were the only
contestants. Trompe La Mort was top
weight at 1925 pounds. but this weight did
not dull his speed. He followed the
speedy and light weighted L'Errant to
the final quarter pole. then went to the
front, and won with Fairbrother holding
him hard all through the last sixteenth
OF a mile. He covered the distance In
the fast time OF "a 10 and was a
length and half in front at the end.
LErrant was second half dozen
lengths in front of Ina Frank
George Starr, the favorite, ran bad
race and was never in the hunt. He
finished last. When returned TO the
ales he appeared tri0e lame.
The Broomstick Handicap was won
by Andrew Miller's Snapdragon. with
African Arrow second and CONNIE CT
third. Schuttinger held Snapdragon far
in the rear under snug pull while Afri-
can Arrow, followed by Paddy Whack,
stepped along at terrific gait.
Rounding the bend Schuttinger gave
his charge free rein and improved his
position. When the homestretch was
reached he was in third place and run
ming faster with each stride, while Afri
can Arrow and Paddy Whack were fall
tering from the strain. At the eighth
pole Snapdragon went to the front and
won easily by length and half. AZ
rican Arrow was stopping to walk near
the end and 1t took McAtee's mightiest
efforts to land him in second place half
length in front OF CONNIE CT, which
came with a rush in the final furlong.

ran the best race of her career in the
second event. She sped away from II
high class field of FLIES over the one
mile route and won gallopins by four
lengths in the fast time OF / :3S. She
opened up big gap on her opponents
during the first quarter of a mile, made
every post a winning one and had plenty
of speed in reserve at the end.
Herodias always has been known for
her great speed, but unlii yesterday she
didn't seem able to carry 1t more than
six furongs. She is a delicate filly,
which won't feed well nor work well.
As a result William Karrick. her train
er. was unable to predict what she would
do. Mr.. Coe was not at the track to see
her race, but his trainer placed small
wager on the filly for him.
Phantom Maid. belonging to J. w. Nc
Clelland, took the second end OF the
purse, three lengths in front OF James
Fitzsimons's Ballet Dancer II.
The last race resulted in a head VIC
tory for Mr.. McClelland's Phantom Fair
She beat Montford Jones's Thelma L
on the post by a nod. Thelma E, ridden
by Lyke, displayed great burst of
early speed and furlong from home
was two lengths in front and running
easily. During the final run she began
to stop and Phantom Fair came with a
rush and beat her in the last stride.

manded the Jockey for having made too
much use of the FLY in the early part
Of the struggle and for putting up what

Marchesa probably was the best horse
in the race, but with a better ride
Thistledon undoubtedly would have
pressed her hard at the end. McAtee
rode a wretched race. Three times he
ran Thistledon into the same pocket
while rounding the turn and then finally
