TEN LEG SCORES IN
THE HIAWATHA
Runs Like a Champion and
Beats Good Field of
Fillies Easily.
BY HENRY ". KING.

Mrs. wilfrid viau's chestnut filly Ten
Lee ran like a champion In the Hia-
watha Handicap. the feature at the
Jamaica track J yesterday afternoon.
Slow to begin. she ran around her field
while rounding the turn, and taking
command entering the homestretch gall
loped home ahead of high class field
/ of fillies. With Clarence Hummer cas-
ing her up she stepped past the judges
two lengths in front of John SANFORD
imported filly Conine. George w. Lofts
Tamarisk was third, eight lengths fur
Their back.
III Ten Lee were thoroughly sound
horse she would give a good account
of herself in the fight for the title Of
! queen of the juveniles. She has bad
legs and suffers severe pain when rae
ing at her best. She Is a filly of ex-
IRENE speed and has lot of courage
and stamina but she fights against
racing, and 1t is only under urging that
she will leave the barrier and, race at
her best. Even a Prudery would have
to improve to beat her If she would
run her fastest.
Sandy" McNaughton has had a hard
job keeping her in training. but he was
paid for his patience and labors yestcr-
day for she went to the post in prime
condition and when Hummer got her
going she forgot her pain and earned
the $4,000 purse and big wager for
her owner and trainer. Tamarisk was
the first to show in front. She broke
on her toes and displaying a great fight
of speed quickly opened up a gap Of
three lengths on her opponents, which
were led by Conine BY the time the
bend was reached Hummer got Ten Lee
moving along at her best and she sprang

front. From then to the judges 1t was
merely q gallop for her.
Frigate Runs Good Race.
Frigate, the chestnut son of Frizzle
and Kaskaskia, belonging to the Oneck
Stable, ran fine race in the final event
and beat high class band of young
sters. including r. w. O'Briens Pluribus.
which finished second, three lengths be-
hind the winner. II. H. Sommer's Cur
few was third. a length and a half
further back.
The event was a handicap affair at
five and half furlongs. Pluribus was top
weight with lit pounds. while F'rigate
shouldered only 112 pounds But even
without this five pound allowance it is
almost certain Frigate would have won,
for he gave Pluribus more than a five
pound beating.
Frigate stepped to the front as soon as
the barrier went UP and made every post
a winning one. Pluribus broke we'll, but
met with slight interference soon after
the start an6 fell back last. Entering
the homestretch he made a dart for the
leader and got within length on HIM.
but Fairbrother gave Frigate kick Or
two and his mount went away and was
not doing his best at the end.
Lads Love, the son of Hamburg,
which formerly raced for Harry Payne
Whitney and for Mrs. Payne Whitney,
| ran off with the opening event. This
crippled four-year-old was at his best.
and taking the lead in the first furlong
sped along by himself and won easily by
| FIVE lengths. In his last start at Aque-
duct he pulled UP so lame that jams
Murphy. his trainer, thought 1t would be
necessary to throw him out of training.
20 to 4 Shot In Front.
The second race caused big surprise
| when Phedoden, 20 to / shot, beat
home a small field of platers. He raced
| Ting-a-Ling into submission in the first
quarter and then went on to score by
| two lengths. Ting-a-Ling was second
and Hendrie third.
| The Nephew and Germa were the only
| starters in the third. The Nephew was
much the better. He raced head and
head with Germa until the homestretch.
| There he drew away and passed the
| judges four lengths in front.
| Lottery. II to l shot. took the fifth
from a band of platers. He came from
| far In the rear in the last half mile and
won by length from American Boy.
! Lovely was third.

coma, Tippity Witchet and Halu will

| day. On Watch and Donnacona will
