noon In the Kingsbridge lightweight
Handicap. the feature at the Empire
City track. Daydue is now owned by
r. Firneno and trained by Clarence
Buxton, and Happy Buxton was his
rider yesterday. He was alert at the
post. and when the webbing flew up he
flew under it running and gained an
| advantage. of three lengths in the first
| sixteenth OF a mile. p A. Clark's Dun
boyne. the colt which won the Futurity
two years ago. chased after him for q
quarter OF a mile and then quit. When
he faltered 8. c. Hildreth's Lord Brigh-
ton, which was carrying top weight OF
1870 pounds, challenged. lie displayed a
good burst of speed and was bothered
as he made his bid. Meanwhile Daydue
was speeding along in front at fast clip
and entered the homestretch three lengths
ahead OF his field. When Strengthened
out for nome Lord Brighton made an
other bid for the lead. He made up a
Let of ground, but after chasing the

and Ticklish coming with a great burst
Of speed from the rear ran past him
and reached Daydues saddle girths
But the Loft castoff Is game and stuck
tenaciously to win by half a length
Tlcklish was second, two lengths in front
of Lord Brighton.
The racing as whole was good for
the flag end OF the year and despite the
threatening weather big crowd was
out Among them were hundreds who
MADE the trip especially to wager on
buddy Ensor's mounts. The great little
jockey was absent and his followers
were greatly chagrlned. Buddy was az
the track before the first race, but before
he had chance to don silks for he first
race he received a telegram from his
home in Baltimore that he was the
daddy of baby girl. After reading it he
let out wild whoop, yelled over to
Tom Healey. his employer TITS GIRL
rushed to the secretary's office, cancelled
his mounts and hurried for a train to
Baltimore. He will be back this after
noon.
The opening event went to p. A..
Clark's Flambette in a stirring finish
by head. That she won was due to a
Garrifon finish by Earl Sande. He
fairly Nlifted his charge over the finish
line in front OF Ocean Swell. Crimson
Rambler was third, half q length further
back.
Sande put up another whiriwind fin
ish in the final event and managed TO
get Machine Gunner home tho victor by
few inches. Glare Frances went to the
front rounding the turn and quickly
opened UP a gap OF three lengths on her
opponents. which were led by Tout Or
At the final furloDg pole she looked like
a sure winner, but she tired badly in
the run to the judges and Machine Gun
ner came up with 81 rush and under one
of Sande's best rides got up in the last
stride to earn the purse So close was
the finish that only the judges could
select the winner. Those on direct
line with the finish were under the i'm
preston that Glare Frances had won.
The Highland purse. claiming affair
at six furlongs, the second event on the
card. was won by Table d Honneur in
handy fashion. He broke last, but Fair
brother rushed him up to contending
position in the first .furlong and then
waited with him until well down the
homestretch. There he went TO work on
his charge. and, taking command six
teenth of mile from home, sped to the
judges two lengths in front of Ace of
Aces, which nosed out Regal Lodge for
the second end of the purse.
