er, Wins Feature Race
at Belmont Terminal
By Harriette Underhill

A trip to Belmont Terminal yester-
day in quest of news concerning the
spring meeting of the United Hunts
Pacing Association convinced us of the
wisdom of spending ones vacation in
New York, as we are doing. We agree
with Dulcinea, cts the best summer
resort" for out at Belmont course it
was at least 10 degrees hotter than it
was in town with never shade tree
or cloud even as big as mans hand.
The air was filled with aeroplanes and
one huge dirigible floated overhead,
but no one paid the slightest attention
to it.
The opening race was called the
$3.50, scheduled for 2:45 and run at
1850. Light Wine was scratched We
knew she would be even before we
looked at the board. and it seems un-
fair to the little filly to saddle her
with that name just at present.
If David Belasco bad had the staging
Of that race r. 7. Wilson's Roseland
would have won instead of finishing
close second, for he carried the orange
and green which Dark Rosaleen car
ried when she won her famous race on
the stage Of the Belasco Theatre. As
matter of fact, Roseland looked like a
good one to pick, much better than
Dark Rosaleen, who won so handily
with novice up. But such is real life.
And Limerick Lass, which should have
carried the green, won.

The fourth race was the big race.
1t was the United Hunts Steepechase,
and that great little gelding The
Brook came out carrying 174 pounds
to go over the jumps for two and a half
miles.
1t didn't seem fair, and our heart
went out to him when he was crowded
at the last jump and came in third
with his head down. 1t was a big
task to ask of any horse and The
Brook ran noble race.
Trumpator, an added starter, won the
race with Blake up. Trumpator car
ried only 1877 pounds.
Last week w. F. belkamp was
W. F. Knebelkamp and this week he is
Barklie. This change of names is most
satisfactory to all save the space
writer's. Barklie was a good second in
the big handicap.
Something happened to both of AL
Davis entries in the last race. which
was calle dthe Westbury Steeplechase.
Davis him mself rode Bill Dudley, but
along about the middle of the second
mile Bill decided to go around one Of
the hedges instead of over it. And
Northwood, with Young Rowan in the
saddle, didn't come in either for some
reason or other. This narrowed the
race down to Mr.. Bayard's North Star
Garter, from the Triple Springs Farms.
both added starters, and Toynbee, which
finished third.
Lofts Papp Winner
Pierce won his FIRST race to-day in
rode George Lofts Papp to victory
over Chimney Swift. It was easy to
see that Papp was the gladdest horse
that ever trod the sod when he reached
the goal, for Chimney Swift was going
just about twice as fast as Papp when
they swept past the stand. Two more
yards of contested ground and Swift
would have been the swifter. 1t was
nice finish.
The fact that stradvarius was badly
beaten in the second race conjures up
or out Of tune or not keyed up to the
race-but what's the use! Decisive
beat him and so did Full Cry, and
Stradivarius was the favorite with
others besides ye scribe.
This finishes the spring meeting of
the United Hunts Club and it was n
pretty successful meeting, particularly,
we should say, for the man who owned
the rights to the soda and pie sals
under tho grandstand. Soda was as
cents a glass, but you could have milk.
