My Reverie Barely Lasts
TO b eat Out Emotion
and Penitent in Feature
By w. J. Macbeth

My Reverie, the crack wo-year-old
filly of R. J. Brown, which showed such
excellent promise early in the spring
time, proved her 'class in yesterdays
feature at Aqueduct. She won the
Beldame Handicap at five furlongs,
with $4,000 added, from a smart field Of
eight juveniles, but only after q thrill
ing drive through the final sixteenth in
which three finished inches apart.
Montford Jones Emotion was placed
second and Harry Payne Whitney's
Penitent third
None but the judges could pick the
placings, so closely punched were the
three at the end. For few moments
the number of Nancy Shanks, of the
Oak kldge Stable, was hung up as win
ner OF third position, but the Judges
were quick to correct this error of the
board man.
This race, which was worth S3,S25 to
My Reverie's winning effort, was one of
the prettiest Of the meeting. The
eight broke out of the chute in what
seemed almost perfect alignment. In q
few strides, however, Ny Reverie drew
aw-y from the others on the more
solid footing of an outside position. AS
she flew around the elbow My Reverie
was good two lengths in front of the
others.
However, in spite of Clarence Turn
er's lustiest efforts, the tilly simplv
would not answer guidance and bore
away over to the outside rail- The
move cost several lengths at a crucial
period of the test Emotion, the con-
tender, and Pentent both took the
curve with ease and grace and, avoid
ing Ihe heavier going near the rail-
were consequently almost on even
terms with the favorite when all were
Strengthened for the run home.
Rice Keeps Filly Going
An eighth from home NV Reyerie
seemed the easiest kind of winner
Dut IN the impending drive that extra
run began to tell and toward the end
the speedy filly began to stop. Rice
Went to work with might and main. In
spectacular whipping finish Teddy
Kept his mount alive just long enough
to last. Penitent closed most gameIv
OF the three, but could not quite get up
to Emotion, the contender all the way.
Inc secondary feature was the
United States Army remount service.
chase Handicap at about two miles
Tor bona tide property Of the United
States Army or officers of the regular
nlshed one of the three upsets of the
afternoon-favorites being returned
triumphant in the other half of the
card. Jay Bird and Avonbear, of the
United States Army Remount Service.
We're coupled as the 3 to favorites.
This upset was due mostly to the
poor handling of Avonbear by Lieu
tenant McCreery, the old steeplechase
Jockey. Lieutenant McCreery had his
mount under 81 strong pull the last
turn OF the field, though possessed of
only one good arm. Chester Two
whlch set The pace for a mile, was
his move with Jay Bird turning for
home
,Avonbear. Chester Two and jay Bird
all took the last fence practically to-
gether. Then Avonbear bore in and
lost several lengths before he could
be Strengthened. Chester Two had
plenty in reserve and ran away from
the others in the final sprint through
the fiat. Chester Two was none too
we'll handled and probably ran a quar-
ter mile further than any of the
others.
Favorite First in Opener
Benjamin Blocks two-year-old colt
Mawrcoron won the opening dash OF
SIX furlongs in commanding style--a
popular victory, as he was we'll
played favorite. He sprinted into 9
good lead and galloped with Wilson
the rest of the way. There was a
thrilling finish for the place, Com
mander McMeekin, Doughnut and Bell
atrix, all literally supported, finishing
inches apart in the order named.
The distance race-the third at a
mile and a observation-disclosures a
Knockout to form when E. G. Soule's

G. A. Marshall's Rep.
Lampus, which was a split favorite
with Arapahoe in the fifth race at a
mile, beat the latter by three lengths
at the end. Arapahoe, which led almost
to the sixteenth, quit under F. Wilson's
amateurish handling
