By w. !. Macbeth

| Though everybody seemed to be all
| WI long, as customarily, at Belmont
Park yesterday afternoon. the adver-
tised feature provided by Racing Sec
rctary A. Mel. Eariocker ran to form,
even though an outsider carried off the
lions share of the purse.
Any racehorse that runs to a record
vindicates form, whatever way you may
look at it, And H. w Maxwe1l's six
year old chestnut gelding Decisive,
which won the croas country race, beat
a record as far as Man O. War was ac-
custonled to beat them at his best.
Decisive won the International
added, for four -year-olds and upward,
al about two miles. He covered the
course in the remarkable time Of
$40 2-5 under an in1post of 1876 pounds
The old record was short-iived. 1t had
been established by Mrs. C. w. Lofts
five-year-nld Sweepment, one Of the
sweetest timber~5oppers in training, on
May % last, at .3;53 40. Sweepment
carried 147 pounds.
The J. Z. Widener entry was warmly
favored for this feature and went to
the post at even money. The West
mount Stables Ticket was second
choice. Frank B., as usual, went to the
early pace and for turn and half Of
the field showed the way.
Takes Lead Near Finish
Cheyne laid off the pace with De-
cisive. Four jumps from home he at
tempted to go up on the inside, but
was pinched off. 1t made little differ
ence, for he Immediately took up and
to the outside, and, coming around

jump and won in a common romp by
more than five lengths.
There might have been a real race at
the end had specs" Crawford not lost
Il stirrup on the second to the last
jump. Ticket closed resolutely and
beat Frank 3 for the place by half a
dozen lengths, after Crawford succeed
ed in getting his feet back into the
right stirrup after landing over the
last barricade. Wisest Fool, the stable
mate of the early pacemaker, Frank
B, was outrun from start to finish
The Quincy Stable put over a nice
oyear-olds at four and half fur
longs that opened the program The
favorite, John E. Madden's Tulwar, was
Unable to finish in the money
Andy Schuttinger should be penalized
fol tossing off the third race at six
| furloDgs with the fayorte, Penrose.
This mare raced all the others dizzy
and was coasting home to the easiest
kind of victory But Schuttinger,
II, persisted in watching them over his
right shoulder while the outsider
Eanksia charged on him along the rail.
Penrose was being carried wide be-
cause Schuttinger was looking behind.
The jockey didn't wake up until
Banksia lad him headed. Penrose
came on again and at the end was
racing Banksia down, but lost the ver-
dict by a scant head, Had Schuttinger
kept Penrose straight he could not
have lost.
Easy for Thunderstorm
Thunderstorm was pounds the best
in the fourth race ct mile. Yeargin
rode very clevegly. He avoided the
early pace of Greentree Stables Deba-
dou and at the stretch turn came
around the field to win in a common
| gallop. Genie w which followed the
pace closely, hung on we'll for the place
Carpet Sweeper, the second choice, ran
a dull race
The fifth race at mile and six
teenth was a procession. Royal Lodge
was hundred pounds the best and
fomped, under heavy restraint, from
| stalI 10 iIlSn+ Inc 0Cner three were
strung out Indian file all the way This
looked like one of those things.
Scotland Yet. Is to 1 shot. got all
the money in the closing gallop of
mile, Vice Regal and Top Sergeant,
two supposedly good things, went at
each others throat and raced them
selves into the ground in the first three
quarters. They shook off the pack bv
ten lengths, but at the end were blind,
dizzy and drunk.
1t is expected that in the Belmont
tomorrow there will be eight three
year-olds, Leonardo H., Sporting Blood,
Quecreek, Montalvo Touch Me Not.
Grey Lag, Exodus and John Paul Jones'
Commander ]. X. L, Ross's Star Voter

of stall for him.
