PETER PIPER BEATS
NOTED SPRINTERS
Mrs. Pane Whitney's Gelding
Leads Home Select Field in
the Richmond.
By HENRY ". KING,

The card at Jamaica yesterday was
only ordinary. but a big crowd saw the
sport. The feature was the Richmond
lightweight Handicap at Ave and a half
furlonEs. 1t went to Mrs. Payne Whit
ney's chestnut gelding Peter Piper The
son OF Peter Pan had a world Of speed,
ana covered the distance in the fast time
OF ;o6 LIS, only one-fifth of second be-
mind the track record established By
Lucullite last month.
Willie Knapp got Peter Piper away
from the barrier winsing. So fast did he
travel that At the FIRST sixteenth pole 8,
c. Hildreth's Out the Way was the only
one or his eight opponents that was
within striking distance. Rounding the
bend Peter Piper raced Out the Way into
submission and then came on alone and
won rather easily by a length. Out the
way took the second end OF the purse,
two lengths In front of Ina Frank, which
came with n rush through the stretch
and beat Willis Sharp Kilmer's My
Friend BY a length and half for third
honors.
The second race. at one mile and a
sixteenth brought together half a dozen
good handicap horses. Eleven were
named to start, but King Plaudit Over
There. Mormon Elder, QUESTIONABLE and
Marchesa I'D were withdrawn. With
them out the Beach Stables Pastoral
Swain was considered much the best and
made an even money favorite. He won
by only by a small margin. and that he
stuck his neck home first was due in
great part to an excellent ride by Lyke
The noted Jockey Is riding as he did
early last year, when he was the most
popular rider on the turf He got Pas
toral Swain away we'll, and then rated
him along behind Srystal Ford. the pace
maker. Entering the homestretch he at
tempted to 90 to the front, but Crystal
Ford had an abundance OF speed in re-
serve and put up brilliant fight All
through the stretch Pastoral Swain and
Crystal Ford fought 1t out stride for
stride. and II was not until two jumps
from the Judges that Lyke was able to
stick his mounts head in front. In the
next and final jump he increased this ad-
vance to a neck.
The Excelsior Handicap. which bears
the same relation to the Metropolitan
Jockey Club as the Brooklyn, Suburban.
Empire City and Saratoga handicaps do
TO their respective organizations, will
be decided this afternoon. II Is at one
mile and sixteenth, and eight high
class handicap horses have been en-
tered overniht to start. Among them
are Andrew MilleTs mighty Roamer and
r. T. Wilson's Corn Tassel the winner
OF tho recent Suburban.
Roamer Is expected to run a much bet
ter race than he did at Belmont Park
and probably will be the favorite. He
will carry only 121 pounds, a weight that
is just to his liking. Schuttinger will
ride him. Corn Tassel will shoulder ll5
pounds. seven more than he carried TO
victory in the Belmont Park classic
Buddy Ensor will guide him.
