NionShlp OF the current year.
Yesterdays was the fourth consccu-
I've victory for this unbeaten son of
Peter Pan. AS in ell his other tri-
Umphs, Tryster did all that could be
asked of first class thoroughbred.
He picked up 1870 pounds, conceding
fourteen pounds or more to each Of the
other eight high class ones that op-
posed him and then, after breaking
raced quickly to the front and won
just about as he pleased without ever
once being fully set down.
Tryster IS Il fine colt and may go on
to great things. Yet his victory was
not as impressive as it might have
been. AS yesterdays Youthful Stakes
was run. q lot Of the speed in the field
opposing him never had an opportunity

though slightly underszed, son of
Peter Pan.
Big Crowd on Hand
This race, which attracted one of the
largest crowds of the season, should
nave been the best two-year- old test
of the year to date but for a jam
shortly after the start that eliminated
most OF the opposition to Tryster. In
the Jumble Clarence Hummer was
knocked from the saddle Of A. K. Mac
ombers The Bohemian, which was ia
vorite Of the race.

bumped back or pinched off everything
inside of him except Plurbus. which
broke so speedily at the rail as TO
avoid trouble. Pluribus, Trvster and
st. Michael, that drew the extreme DO
Sitlon to the outside Of Tryster, alone
avoided the jam.
Wherefore. great colt that he seems
10 be. Iryster's victory of yesterday
should not be taken too seriously.
After the accident that eliminated his
chief contender, he had only Plurl,
bus and st. Michael, two of the out
siders, to beat, which of course he
should have been able to do as he did
logging.
This race was not run In anything
approximating record time. Tryster
won off by himself like a good horse.

Houyhnhnm made up so much ground

is no telling what might not have hap

had not been knocked out of it shortly
after the start. Certainly The Bo-
hemian figured to OUTRAGE Houynhnm,
and Houyhnhnm, had he been closed up,
would have made Tryster know he was
out for something more serious than
an exercise gallop.
Bar Turner for Meeting
The fault for the ruination of thu,
feature race appears to have been with
K. T. Wilson's knight of the Heather,
or rather with Clarence Turner, who
mad the leg up on this fine colt. knight
of the Heather bore over sharply
toward the rail with the rise of the
barrier. He slammed Sobrigade into

ne himself hit The Bohemian again.
hummer, on The Bohemian, lost his
stirrups at the first jostle. AS a re-
suit of the direct collision with the
Wilson colt he was brushed out or
the saddle
The stewards showed a commendable
initiative in Investigating and holding
Turner directly responsible, and acted
promptly by setting him down for the
meeting and referring his case to The
Jockey Club.
No one can feel particularly sorry
for Clarence Turner. This boy, who is
fine rider, has shown far too great
disregard for the rights of others in
his engagements this year. He has
been guilty time after time of rough
and foul riding that did not even

who has little license to lord it over
the other boys, for he was returned to
good standing this year after having
been down several seasons for alleged
conduct such as ended the career of
many more brilliant performer in the
pigskin.
