CIRRUS CAPTURES
.AQUEDUCT FEATURE
HiIdreth's Colt Romps Away
With Queens County
Handicap.

NEW YORK. June 26.-Cirrus. the
four-year-old son of Tracery. which
won the Brooklyn handicap by head
last Thursday. came back today and
romped off with the Queens County
handicap. one Of the stellar attrac-
tions at the Aqueduct track. He car
ried 120 pounds, twelve more than he
shouldered in the classic. and he ran
much more impressively. At the end
of the one-mile journey he was fight
ing hard for more rein three lengths
in front of Harry Payne whitneys
three-year -old. Wildair. which was
added a few minutes before the race.
Five lengths back and staggering
from fatigue finished Commander
Ross famous sprinter. Lion dor.
Cirrus negotiated the distance in
the real good time of 1.3s. and ii is
possible that he could have run sec
ond faster if he had been compelled
to do his best. OF course. he did not
meet the same kind of horses he op-
posed in the Brooklyn handicap. Boni-
face was not in the race, neither was
Exterminator. nor his stable mate,
Mad Halter, but it was far from
cheap field, and his race caused all
those who doubted his present form
to proclaim him a great horse.
Although nearly a hundred of the
best horses in the country were NOM
mated for the event only half doz-
en- were named over night as starters.
OF these Mad Halter and Boniface
were scratched and then Mr.. Whitney
added Wildair. Still RENE mbe ring
the wretched ride Ambrose gave
Wildair in the Brooklyn the crowd
made Mr.. Whitney's colt the favorite
\ -. a.
received plenty of support. Hildreth
and his friends wagered on Cirrus.
