Rat brihiant as was the performance 4

,ss Stable This week paid the Quincy
sabls respective sums of $4,000 and
st5 eo0-there was touch of pathos
n The running of the Carlton; Harry
psyue Whitney's Broomspun, which
Won the $4,000 Preakness at Pimlico
and which was one of the most
proninent candidates for the three
vsar.cla championship, was so badly
,iured it was found necessary to de-
s:roy him.
Broomspun Is Destroyed
groomspun, which broke we'll with
he field, suffered broken leg almost
gmmediateIv after the start. The bone
n bis right front leg was snapped
fiesn just below the shoulder. With
fhst gameness characteristic of the
thoroughbred. Broomspun painfully
ard riteously hobhled after his field on
three legs, giving everything he had of
efort in his pain and misery. Broom
suun covered nearly three furlongs be-
fore Clarence Hummer could pull him
nm sufficiently TO dismount. Broom
snan was shot as soon as he could be
led off the track behind an adjoining
stable and out Of the view of the vast,
sympathetic crowd.
One Of the very largest crowds of
thoroughbred enthusiasts that ever
watched the thoroughbreds at historic
Aaueduet was on hand for yesterdays
entertaining program. The weather was
.deai for the sport, though the jam was
80 pronounced on the lawn and in the
stands it was about the hardest and
hottest work Imaginable for those
speculatively inclined to back their
judgment with the oralists.
But it is probable that the big holi-
day crowd thoroughly enjoyed itself,
despite physical discomforts, for the
horses continued TO run much better
10 form than was the custom at Bel
mont Park. No less than four favor
ties cakewaiked down to the wire in
front. and there was a thrill or two
in every race.
The Carlton, of course, with it's
$500 added, was the feature of the
Saturday card. But, like The Hudson,
which brought out a high class field
Of tgo-year-olds and which preceded
the Carlton, it was unfortunate that
some Of this seasons prospective can
didates were scratched. Grey Lag,
which won the Brooklyn Handicap in
such impressive fashion on Friday, was
not asked so soon to race again, of
course Waiter J. Salmon put the as
sgnment up to Careful and kept Step
Lightly, Futurity winner, which had
raced the previous day, in the barn.
Many Entries Scratched
Billy Mclaughlin, Idle Dell, Dimmes-
dale ard John Paul Jones all declined
the issue. In The Hudson the Ran
egcas Stable scratched William A.,
thought by many the best two-year-old
shown so far in the East, as he had
not fully recovered from the wounds
inflicted upon his leg by Bigheart in a
recent race at Belmont Park. j. S.
Cosden scratched the good colt Lord
Baltimors, which, like William A., had
been assigned staggering impost, and
pinned his faith to the lighter weighted
Bigheart.
Just how good a bargain Hildreth
made when he paid $115,o00 for Play
fellow remains to be seen. The full
brother Of Man o. War finished out like
his llustrious brother after laying
sway back off the pace until the
stretch was reached. 1t is possible he
might have run over Knobbie at any
time mad Laverne Fator crowded him

PlsylelIow was running away while
