ny HENRY ". KING.

Emotion. a two-year-old filly by Friar
Rock and Affection, beat a quartet of
older horses over the one mile and
seventy yard course yesterday after
noon at Empire City track. She car
ried only 95 pounds. but gave away
big humps of weight by the scale to her
opponents and won easily. Thimble, a
three-year-old filly. was second and
Lady Emmeline. fouryear-old miss,
was third
The event was the Navesink purse for
all ages. Little Eddie Hummer, who
has been riding as we'll as any of the
veteran jockeys recently, had the mount
on Emotion and she had host of
friends. She had worked exceptionally
fast for the event. and despite her age
she was heavily backed and went to
the post at the short odds of 1 to o
Little Hummer was alert at the bar
rier and got her away flying. He
quickly sent her to the front and then
rated her along at q nice. steady pace.
Rounding the turn he eased her up to
give her breathing spell and Thimble
ranged alongside. For a few strides

The remainder Of the programme was
made up of events for the cheapest kind
OF platers. The opener was for juveniles
at five and a half furlongs. 1t was
won by Nose Dive, which followed the
pace to the stretch and then went on

and Chewink third

as the Beacon Light Purse Asterisk

went went to the post in this event, but
refused to leave the barrier
Saddle Ring, the horse which caused
a. Collins to lose his license at Sara
toga last August, was the favorite for
the fourth event. He is owned by J. l..
Donahay and trained by J. ID. Millin.
Word went forth in the paddock that
the horse was at his best and he was
| heavily backed, but not by men who
watch or have men watch the morning
trials. According to all the clockers
Saddle Ring was not ready to race n
mile and seventy yards. They said he
wasn't ready for a dash. And j.dying
from the way he raced 1t seemed as il
the clockers were right. He showed no
speed at any stage of the race and
was beaten off.
May BE Questioned by steyvard..
1t is likely the stewards will ask Mr..
Donahay and his trainer few ques-
tions. about the horse this afternoon.

likely to meet his Waterloo in the
