ny HENRY ". KING.

Cirrus, the three-year son OF
Tracery, which II. s. Hildreth bought
from Harry Payne whitney last autumn
for s25, 900, won the Roseben Handicap
at the Aqueduct track yesterday after
noon like a real nice colt. He was out
run in the early part of the six furlong
dash, but when called on In the home
stretch displayed good burst OF speed
and an abundance Of courage and beat
home Mrs. Payne whitney's Peter Piper
handily by half length.
During his rush to victory he was
rot touched by either whip or heel. He
was ridden by Johnny LOTUS and all
the noted Jockey had to do to land him
home In front was to give him a snug
nand ride.
Ultimatum, carrying the colors OF
Samuel Ross OF Washington. and maxi
ing his FIRST appearance Of the year un-
der silks, was the early pacemaker. He
was short" and quit at the head OF the
stretch. When he faltered Peter Piper,
which was shouldering the heavy i'm
post OF 1913 pounds, took command and
quickly opened up a big gap on his OPP
ponents. At the final furlong pole he
looked like a sure winner, but It was at
this point that LOTUS called on Cirrus
to make his run. The Hildreth colt had
plenty OF speed In reserve and gained
ground with every bound. At the six
teenth post he was at Peter Piper's
ftsnks. and from then to the end needed
little urging to win going away.
Youneed Wins Union.
Youneed. the little bay colt by Ogden
and The Nurse. which formerly belonged
to George w. Loft, won the Union Sell
ing Stakes from a big field of high class
N Ia Mt In ha
heavy going. and. taking the lead soon
otter the start. held command to the end
TO win by q length and a half from
War Mask. Daydue was third. two
lengths back.
Andrew Millers unreliable and err
rattle Ticket, which was considered a
top notch handicap horse two years ago,
landed among big field Of cheap SELL
ing platers In the fifth race and had
little difficulty in leading the way home.
The track was to his liking, and 1t was
expected that he would be the favorite,
but he had so few friends that his odds
receded from to to to /. He was
slow to break and did not get running
at his best until a furlong from home
Then he ran over his opponents and all
Schuttinger had to do was sit stili and
guide him straight to the Judges. With.
out doing his best he crossed the finish
line a length and a half ahead OF Sasin,
which was a similar distance ahead Of
n. X. Beal. Ticket was entered for
$1,000. A few years ago he could not
be- bought for five times that gum
The steeplechase furnished the most
thrilling finish of the afternoon. After
desperate struggle all through the last
half mile Edward NJ. Yields Belle o. the
Sea beat home Mrs. r. Ambrose Clark's
imported geldiDg Elyssian by half a
length. That Belle O. the Sea won pre-
mier honors was due to great ride by
specs" Crawford. He outrode and out
generalled Kennedy on Elyssian. Three
or four times Kennedy rode dangerously
close to Belle o. the Sea. but Crawford
would not be inundated and kept his
mount going well enough to win.
