Rain at Aqueduct Course

Despite the dlsagreeable weather, n
fair crowd of the faithful attended the
races at Aqueduct yesterday. The de-
plorable condition of the track made
by the heavy rains caused Wholesale
withdrawals, still those which were left
IN the various events furnished the
spectators with some interesting sport.
The Gazelle Stakes for three year
old FLIES over the mile and sixteenth
course, worth $4,000 to the winner,
was captured by Clifford Cochran's
Banksia. George Widener's Last Straw
was second, and the other half of his
entry, Chateau Thierry, third.
last minute play on Banksia sent
her to the post favorite. The field left
the barrier in perfect line, but they
had gone only few yards when
banksia drew out, closely followed by
Last Straw and Chateau Thierry. There
was no change in positions until the
field made the bend at the head of
the stretch. Banksia held the rail,
while Last Straw and Chateau Thierry
went wide. This gave Banksia an
added advantage, for she went out to
lead of two lengths, which she main
tanned to the end, winning under wraps.
Last Straw Falters
Last Straw weakened at the end and
was forced to hard drive to beat her
stablemate half length for the place.
The spectators started off poorly
when the three choices, La Kross,
Salute and Gloomy Gus, failed to get
inside the money. Ed. Peters's Chal-
lenger, at 10 to l, was returned the
winner, with Brink, another 10 to !
shot, second, and Horeb, 20 to shot,
third. La Kross made the running to
the quarter pole, where Challenger
passed him and went on to win quite
handily by a length, Brink, which had
been badly outrun in the early stages,
came through with a rush and beat
Horeb length for the place.
Sea Bryn, the heavily backed good
thing, won the second race, steeple-
chase over the short two-mile course,
but not until he gave his hackers the
scare of their lives at the last hedge.
Peccant, another tip, made the early
running and looked to have the race
won, but bolted to the outside fence
on the last turn of the field. This
gave Sea Bryn, which was laying
second, a big lead.
Coming to the last jump he was all
alone and it was only a question of
how far he would win by if he go.

and struck the top of the hedge with
his forefeet. When he landed he
tossed Bush UP on his, neck, but the
rider scrambled back in the saddle
and he passed the judges a length
