Runs Impressive Race In Stuy- Vesant Handicap - Kelsey Has Narrow Escape In Bad Spill.

JAMAICA, N. Y, June 2o-H. c.
 Hildreth's Purchase gave J. W. Me Clellands Eternal four pounds anS d
 beating in the Stuyvesant Handicap at S5,OOO at one mile over the Ja- maica track yesterday.
 Some insisted that the son of Or mondale won easily, some thought that 1t was only handily, but which ever 1t was Johnny Loftus, who had the mount, was taking things mighty
 easy through the last sixteenth, to win by a scant half length, whereas Eternal was driving.
 Purchase ran the mile, the first
 race of this distance ever decided over the track, in the rather slow time of 1:38 4-5. Most of the train
 CTS, however, called it a good per- formance as the going is rather deep around the first turn and both | horses had their weight up. The fact
 remains. however, that Purchase did everything required and Sam Hil- dreth says he is the type of horse which will do just as much as he has to but no more.
 After the finish the impression seemed to be general that Purchase is now the only three-year- capa- ble of giving Sir Barton a race. And yet there were SOIne-and good l judges, too-who were not convinced that he could repeat his victory over External the same way weighted, be- l cause of certain happenings during | the race.
 Johnny Loftus got a shoot as the | barrier went up, whereas Eternal ! was a bit slow to move, and as a re- | suit the latter was in a bad pocket rounding the first turn which caused | Shuttinger to take back and go up ! on the outside, all of which cost him | two or three lengths. Ophelia made the early pace on | Suffrance with Loftus waiting and l watching for Eternal, so that when 1 Schuttinger made his move and | moved up with a rush on the outside, l half way up the back stretch, Loftus went with him, and so forced Eternal | to run on the outside all around the upper turn.
 Eternal, the leading money winning g | two-year-old last year, and the colt which beat Billy Kelly in that famous special race, has had a rather un- lIhappy life as a three-year-o1d He | has chased Sir Barton home in three races, and now he has had to bow to Purchase. One thing is sure-Jim McC1e1land and Kimbal1 Patterson have been game, and sent him out only after the best. Kelsay, the jockey who rides for

 The junior track and field cham pionships of the Metropolitan Asso- cia ton of the A. A. U., which will be held at Stevens Institute Field, Ho- boken. N. J., on Saturday afternoon, June 2s, have aroused great in terest.
 Especially among the clubs in the local district the interest Is keen, and from all indications a very large en- try will be received before closing time at the A. A. U., headquarters, No. 2so Broadway, New York
 The Registration Committee of the Metropolitan Association will hold a special meeting tomorrow night in New York to take up matters of
 
 several athletes who competed in re- cent games without registration num- bers will be asked to explain their actions.
 That there are going to be some important changes in the manage ment and of conducting of games in the future is apparent. The over running of the track by officials, ath- letics and spectators is going to be done away with if the registration committee has any say. It has been learned that the Eng fish style of conducting indoor and outdoor meets will be followed here. No athlete will be allowed on the field until his event has been called There will be no warming up as Is now in vogue here.
 The officials also will be barred from the field with the exception of those who are listed for the event being contested. When that event is over the officials must leave and the officials for the next event will come on.
 These suggested changes have aI- ready met with approval by the A. A. U. heads. They will be of great benefit to the spectators. With these rules in effect a clear view will be had of all that is going on. An invitation has been extended to Charley Pores. of the Mi1lrose Athletic Association, and Max Boh- land, of the Paulist Athletic Club to go to Pittsburgh and compete in the annual modified marathon race to be held there on Saturday, July 19. Cirrus, a stable companion of Pur- chase, was scratched in the Stuyve- sant Handicap, but worekd a mile in public in 1:41 2-5.

Purchase Finds Course To His Liking En Jamaica Race And

George w. Loft, had a narrow escape from serious injury, if not death, in the running of the second race. He tried to come through an opening on the rail just before the stretch turn, but when half way through it closed up and the horse crashed down.
 The boy was stunned for a minute or two, but soon picked himself up and escaped with bruised shoulder, a badly scraped leg and a general shaking up. The stewards would not fix the responsibility, so no punish ment was meted out. Kelsey simply took a chance and lost.
 Zenith was the favorite and was moving up so easily that the race ap- parently was at his mercy until he fell.
 R. T. Wilson's Thunderstorm ran a remarkable race in the Flight Handi- cap, and, closing with great coura ge, got up in the last stride to beat Arrah Go On by head. Loftus got every pound out of the latter and rode one of his strongest finishes, but to no avail.
 when idpdSeur was Srdouated from the maiden class in the fifth race it recalled the fact that J. E.. Widener bought this three-year-old as a yearling for s9,600 after a tilt with George D. Widener, who also wanted him. At the same sale, George D. Widener, through Jack Joyner, paid s9,500 for Mistake, which started for the first time a day or two ago and was left at the post.
