Racing out at the Jamaica track yes
terday afternoon developed into a
"grudge" contest between Buddy
Ensor and Clarence Turner, in which
Ensor, as usual, came off with the
hons share of the glory. Ensor and
Turner between them ate five of the six
slices of the afternoons pie. Buddy
oeat Clarence to the extra piece, while
another Clarence (Kummer), who will
ride Man O. War in his great match
race with Sir Barton at Windsor next
tuesday, managed to pussy-foot one
OF the slabs while the principals were
quarreling as to which was entitled to
the first bite.
Hummer stole the biggest slice at
that, for he annexed the feature race
OF the afternoon with George w. Lofts
On Watch. There was no unusual
glory for Hummer in this attachment.
