P. A. Clark's -year-old FLY
Nancy Lee. won the Demoisclle Stakes,
the feature of yesterdays racing pro-
gram at the Empire City track. She
beat Harry Payne Whitney's Pantalette
by eight lengths in the easiest manner
imaginable. Pantalette finished five
lengths in front of the Foreign Stables
Maiden's Ballet, which was the only
other starter
This feature race was sop to the
students Of form-the only sop, or con-
ISOLATION, or vindication. or whatever
you wish to call it, of the entire after
noon. The three FLIES finished just
about where form figured them to
finish. And still there was no great
occasion for any salvo of cheers in the
lone instance of FORMS vindication.
Nancy Lee paid 3 to in the winning
slot and was out for place and show.
Pantalette paid 1 to a place.
The balance of the entertainment
was succession of nightmares, in
which the favorites finished nowhere
and in which the most unexpected
flip-f flaps and somersaults of form had
the good men who speculate running
around in circles. The most startling
surprise was the victory of H. Mar
shall's Translate in the Old Hickory
Purse, at mile and a quarter, which
was fifth on the card.
Great Coup on Translate
Translate, which quit under 90
pounds to poorer company after six
furlongs last Monday, came from no
where yesterday under 100 pounds and
simply ran over everything in the
stretch. There was play on Trans
late both days, but nothing on Mon
day like that of yesterday. Translate
yesterday was hammered down from
% to / to 8 to l at post time. The
black gelding furnished the medium
for one of the greatest couDs of the
season.
AS to the Demoiselle Stakes. This
PANIED out mighty poor feature at
traction. Originally six were named,
but two of these, Ten-Lec and Mavour-
neen, elected to race in the first event
instead and George w. Loft scratched
Tamarisk. Nancy Lee opened l to
2 favorite, but there was hot tip out
most of the play until Nancys price
rose to 8 to 5 at post time.
When it came to racing there was
nothing to it but Nancy Lee. Panta-
lette, as in her two previous races,
showed early foot and little else. In
the run up the back stretch she opersd
a gap of a couple of lengths. But@it
was plain that Nancy was under wraps
even then. Pantelette began to blow
after three furlongs and without any
effort whatever Larry Lyke took the
pacemaker when he cot ready. Though
Pantalette tired badly in the last fur
,loo MofJ 1pt
never threatened the place.
Now, as to Translate, the luscious
melon OF the afternoon. The difference
in ms two races may be explained away
by the difference in Jockeys. Weiner
had the leg UP Monday; j. Mooney was
in the saddle yesterday, and Mooney
is just about az promising a youngster
as they come.
Fine Ride by Mooney
Translate yesterday was badly out
run at the start, but Mooney was at
work every inch of the way. He grad
ually made Up ground through the
back stretch, came with a great rush
rounding the far turn and finally sue
ceeded in running down War Plume
at the sixteenth pole. The rest was
easy. Clacuer the favorite, led to
the stretch, where he quit cold Goaler,
the second choice, ran very sluggish
race.
Jockey A. Johnson put over two good
things. The first was Ten-Lec, which
spread eagled a field Of eleven maiden
two-year- fillies in the opening trial
at five and a half furlongs. II. P
Whitney's Forgetful and ]. W. McCle[
lands Wild Thoughts, both starting
the first time, finished away back
in the ruck. Both ran very greenly
Wild Thoughts was favorite, but was
pinched off shortly after the start and
never could get through.
Johnson scored again in the third
race, at about six furlongs, with Elected
II. He ran Alphee, the favorite, into
Alphee quit to nothing and finished
outside the money. Elected II was tir-
ing fast at the end, but managed to
stave off Salvestra's challenge.
Dinna Care, the odds-on favorite OF
the second race, at mile, had plenty
of early foot and showed the way for
seven furlongs. There the gelding quit
to a walk Coltiletti rated the Mar
rome stables Whisk off the early pace
but came away in the stretch to win
about as he pleased. Georgia closed
place from Dinna Care by q scant head
NJ j. Murphy's lemons Bon made
every post winning one in the clos
ing race at mile and sixteenth
Air Man ran an excellent race and
with better handling than Maurice
Rowan was able to give probably would
have won AS it was Great Gull came
with rush through the stretch and
nosed out Altman for the place in the
very last stride. Ballast, the favorite
was never contender.
