i'm Fast Time.
BY HENRY ". KING.


Penrose ran one of the best races Of
her brilliant career In the Pocahontas
Handicap at the Empire City track yes
terday afternoon. She carried 126
pounds, beat big field of high class
mares and covered the short six furlong
route In the fast time OF 1 :09. To win
she was compelled to race her best, for
Elected II. ran an exceptionally fine
race and was at her throatlatch at the
finish. Genie w. was third, two lengths
back
Only once during the meeting was the
distance covered in :09. That was
when Dominique beat Krewer, Gladiator
and some other renowned sprinters.
Sande had the leg up on Penrose yes
terday, and despite her heavy burden
she was made the favorite and heavily
backed. At the post she didn't act any
too well. She switched her tail and
jumped and kicked about like a crazy
mare and gave her hackers several
uneasy moments.
But when the barrier went up she was
ready and sped away on her toes.
Elected IL chased along with her. but
Penrose had the more speed and at the
first furlong was In front. Then she
drew away, and starting up the hill was
two lengths In front, with Elected IL.
a similar distance In front of Genie
w. Rounding the turn and all the way
down the homestretch Sande Rugged the
rail- and 1t was a good thing he did save
ground, for Penrose began to hang In
the last sixteenth while Elected came
strong and gained with every bound.
But under Sande's sterling ride Penrose
held on, to win by a scant margin.
Genie w. ran good race. SO did
Edwina. Chateau Thierry finished fifth
and should have been much closer up.
Keough gave her a poor ride. The FLY
seemed anxious to run, but he seemed
bent on placing her.
This got her caught in a pocket and
made her lose several lengths. Once,
while rounding the turn. she found clear
sailing and fairly flew. but that was
for only hundred yards. Then she got
| lost in the shuttle and finished in the
ruck.
After half dozen attempts old Pick
wick finally earned a purse. He beat a
band of the worst platers In training In
gallop. After the race he changed
barns. A man named L. NJ. Kardas
claimed him from Ill Clancy for 81, 800
Sidereal beat Yankee Maid. Modo and
three other Juveniles in the opening
event. He got a bulge at the barrier
and held command all the way. Yankee
Maid ran a good game race and was
rapidly overhauling the leader at the
end. Modo, which was the favorite
showed nothing under Keough's han
ding and finished a poor third.

stretch, where she came with a rush
and won easily by two lengths.
Edgar Allan Poe. carrying the colors
OF the Xalapa Farm, ran away Will

to win handily by length and a half
Curfew was second.

to win eased up by four lengths. She
/ was entered to be sold for $1,000. Aftel
