By w. ]. Macbeth

~ was Rs L. Wilson'S turn 70 usurp
the spotlight at the Jaalaica track,
which has become fashionable FOR
double and triple victories this year,
and the only two OF his thoroughbreds
ssddled by Tom Healey came down TO
impressive victories yesterday after
noon.
Mr. Wilson's old gold and green
silks flashed first across the imaginary
line at. the finish in the feature race,
the Stuyvesant Handicap, at q mile,
when Sedgefeld won thrilling race
from the Quincy stables Knobbie by a
length and q half.
Knight OF The Heather az i.npres.
sively, or rather more impressively, &C.
counted Gor the third race at six fur
longs. So this particular double"
came in sequence.
The Stuyvesant Handicap, worth s6,-
coo, returned a profit Of s4,Sb0 FOR The
winner. 1t WAS race OF thrills, for
several different contenders at various
stages OK the running appeared to have
the call and sent their respective sup
porters into thrills Of ecstasy.
A field Of eight excellent three-yeag-
olds paraded to the post and there waa
not one or the lot which was not sup
ported. But yesterday was q day Of
upsets and the unexpected cropped out
in the feature, too.
Favorste Next to Last
Charles A. Stoneham's Dry Moon, "a
vorite in Che Stuyvesant, finished next
TO last, trailed only by Merchant Ma
rines an outsider which was pulled up
by Albert johnson as soon ss be saw
there Was no hope OF landing IN the
money.
Dry Moon waa uuIucky enough 20

tho scramble for position, racing 60
the clubhouse suyn, was slammed by
Banksia and Knocked for a goal. The
out OF tbs running.
The start was almost perfect, per-
haps the best Mars Cassidy has shown
all season. Exodus, fast colt of the
II. P. Whitney stable, was crowded to
the front by Clarence Kummer with
the barrier rise. Rounding the first
turn. Exodus drew out In front Of the
pack.
In tha run up the back stretch, he
opened lead OF length and half.
Knobbie was lying second, Muskallonge
third and Sedgefeld fourth. Coltiletti
had snug hold on Sedgef1efd.
After three quarters Of the mile, had
been covered Exodus began to tire
under Hammer. Then Muskailonge
took command. Coltiletti decided il
was about time to make his bid. He
sent Sedgefield up on the outside. The
colt was full Of running and in the
next furlong went out and stole a lead

as taxes at the eighth pole; then he
suddenly tired and Coltiletti had to
ride him out to stave off Knobbie's
spirited challenge. Knobbie, which
came down like a big train through
the stretch, beat Muskallonge five
slengths for the place. The rest OF the
field was strung out almost Indian file.
Mr. Wilson's knight Of the Heather
showed & wonderful performance in
the third -acs. He was OF poorly, bat
inside the first furIong shook of the
field by three lengths or more, racing
around the bunch. There might have
been q different story to the finish
had the saddle not slipped on Jyntee,
the odds-on favorite. Hummer had to
pull this one uY to maintain his seat.
Arrowhead Takes Place Money
Once knight OF the Heather took the
track, the race was won. Little s.
Bullman hugge6 the rail-, saving all the
ground possible, and won in gallop.
There was q great fight for the place
between Arrowhead, a long shot. and
Rancocas. which came with q rush at
the end. The former, which was the
contender throughout, just managed Co

Some thrilling finishes were seen
during the afternoon, but none more
exciting than that Of the second race,
at a mile and sixteenth, when 8. A.
Clopton's White Socks beat the favor
ite, NJ. +. Murphy's Chief, by g. scant
head.
2. J. Grefer's Mr.. < first raced out
into a long lead. followed by Chief.
Circulate and White Socks. Turner
made his run with Chief rounding the
far turn. He ran down and passed Mr..
K. But then Coltiletti moved with
White Socks and coming 20 the out-
side soon hooked up with the favorite.
Through the last furloug il was as
pretty 8 duel as could be- imagined,
the lead alternating as each head
bobbed down. White Socks happened
to have his nose down as the finish
line was reached.
Another bang-up finish was seen in
the fifth race, for cheap two-year-old
FLIES, when Grace E. got the decision
over Miriam Cooper. The start really
won the race, as Miriam Cooper had
three lengths the worse OF It. How
ever, Miriam Cooper, which was backed
from 2 to l to 20 10, could have won
with 8 more spirited ride. The filly
appeared to hang right at ths end when
she had the race won, but She hung be-
cause Rodriguez seemed TO have nc in
terest in winning. He certainly rode
listlessly, to say the least Clarence
Hummer has tossed of q few lately.
but he never took the chances that
Rodriguez took here.
Frank Regau's whimsy and the
Quincy Stables Leading Star, the fave
rite, had battle throughout the six
furlongs of the first race. Earl Sande
saved ground all the way with Whimsy
and won by grace Of ynose spirited
finish. Carline s. came with rtIsh at
the end, but got in bad pocket in the
last furlong aud could not get clear.
