a high class stake horse yesterday az
ternoon In the New Rochelle Handicap,
the feature OF the card at the Empire
City track. He beat 8. c. Hildreth's
Krewer and Thomas Ryans Sea Mint in
q gallop. Passing the Judges he was
eased up three lengths ahead OF Krewer.
which beat Sea Mint q length for second
honors.
Krewer set the pace for a quarter
OF q mile and then Sea Mint went to
the front and sped along at fast
clip until rounding the far turn. There
Buddy Ensor, who had the leg up on
Yellow Hand, gave his mount his head
end the Wilson horse bounded past the
leaders in a few Jumps From then to
the finish he was not extended. III
pressed he could have won by nearly n
sixteenth OF mile.
Mad Hatter, the son OF Fair Play and
Madcap. owned by 8. c. Hildreth. again
showed that he is In the form that made
him famous last season. He merely gal
loped to win the Ormonde Stakes from
Tom McTsggart and Goaler. He went
TO the front as soon as the barrier was
sprung and quickly opened up a gap of
two lengths on McTaggart. which was
leading Goaler by a similar distance.
Going down the 'backstretch Ensor gave
Mad Halter his head and the big colt
in few Jumps Increased his lead TO
q dozen lengths. Then Ensor took a
tight hold on him and allowed him to
gallop the remainder of the way. AT
the end he was hghting for his head six
lengths ahead of Tom McTaggart. which
was three lengths In front OF Goaler.
Mad Halter was . probibitive favortte
at to 10.
Charles A. Stoneham, John McGraw
and several members OF the Giants won
a fortune when Ross r. was returned
the victor In the opening event They
considered him a sure winner and
wagered on him heavily. And the colt
didn't disappoint them. He took the
track soon after the start and made
every post q winning one. At the finish
line he was eased up eight lengths ahead
OF Craftsman. Fading Star was third.
Lads Love. the four-year-old crippled
son of Hamburg, which formerly raced
for Harry Payne Whitney. won another
purse for James Murphy. He ran a
powerful race for an old cripple and
beat a big field OF good sprinters. lie
won only by head and that he got
the verdict was due In great part Of the
fine ride he received from Ensor He
terfered with. But Ensor kept him 60
Ing we'll until entering the homestretch.
There he slipped him through on the
rail and took command. In the final
sixteenth he began to tire and Ting a
Ling came with q rush and reached his
throatlatch. But that was the best he
could do. Osgood also made deter
mined bid for the lead In the final fur
long. He finished stronger than any
horse In the race and probably would
have won in few more jumps. He took
third money half a length behind Ting
a-Ling.
Under superb ride by little Jockey
Weiner Great Gull scored In the fifth, n
mile and q quarter affair for platers
Great Gull was badly outrun in the first
half milo and seemed hopelessly beaten
But Weiner kept at him and, gradually
cverhauling his field. managed to get
him past the post first by half length.
Challenger, with Joe Mooney in the
saddle, was second, and Tom Brooks
which set the early pace, was third.
There were several claims In for
Great Gull after his victory, but Peter
Rolllys bid of s1.75o WAS best and he
went to his stable.
. Buddy Ensor scored triple victory.
He won with Lads Love, Yellow Tail
int' Mad Halter.
Earl Sande yesterday signed a con-
tract to ride for q. G. Hildreth next
season. Earlier In the week ne agreed
