Racing was resumed in the metro
politan district yesterday afternoon
after a lapse of month while the
thoroughbreds were sojourning at
Saratoga The reopening was at Bel
mont Park and fairly good crowd
was out to see the contests. There
were two features on the card-the
Tomboy Handicap. for Juvenile finies
and the Manhattan Handicap, for al
ages.
Frank Farrelrs Nancy +. beat home
big field OF high class fillies in the
Tomboy and Charles A. Stoneham's Yel-
low Hand defeated Tryster. Mad Halter.
Careful, Paul Jones and Capt. Alcock
in the Manhattan.
! Yellow Hands victory was sensa-
tional one. This four-year-old son of
RossendaIe ran the best race OF his
career. and galloped past the judges
three lengths ahead of Tryster, after
having covered the one mile route In the
exceptionally fast time of :S6.
That the race was so fast was due
largely to the fact that Careful and
Tryster were in II. They are two of
the fastest horses in training and they
went away from the barrier as a team
and raced each other dizzy. They COW
cred the first quarter In the neighbor-
hood of "a seconds, and continued at a
terrific pace until both staggered. Then
Yellow Hand. which had been running
-
taking command at the final eighth
pole. had little difficulty winning the
stake.
Mad Halter Fav0rite, Third.
Tryster held on courageously. After
shaking off Careful at the three-quarter
pole she struggled on and was fast and
game enough to gain the second end of
The purse a length ahead of Mad Hat
ter, the favorite.
Mad Halter had bad luck during the
/ race. He isn't as good as he was
in the spring and it is a question il
he is able to give Yellow Hand eight
pounds, such as he was doing yester-
day, and beat him with luck even.
Sande got him away from the barrier
well, but while Tryster and Careful
were dashing along half a dozen
lengths in front he got caught in q
pocket behind Yellow Hand and he
, was unable to get clear sailing until
we'll into the homestretch. Then he
showed a spark OF speed, but hung in
the hast fifty yards and was lucky to
be third.
Mad Halter has been beaten half a
dozen times this season while trying
TO come from behind, and when it
was certain that would be the case
: yesterday with such speed marvels
as Careful and Tryster In the race.
hundreds Of his former friends turned
their faith and wagers to one OF the
other contestants.
Nancy F.'s race in the Tomboy was
= good one, but nothing bordering
on the phenomenal. She ran as she
always runs-like deer for five fur
longs. Then she began to tire, but she
was so far ahead Of her opponents
that McAtee had little difficulty keep
ing her going long enough to win by
a length. James McManus's Marie
Patricia was second and Joseph E.
Davis's Prodigious third.
The race was down the straightavay
and, as has been the case for several
years. there was a lot of herding and
crowding.
Two for Raneocas.
The Rancocas Stable scored a double
during the day when Thunderclap wof,
the first and valor led home a cheap
lot in the fifth.
Thunderclap's race was remarkably
fast. He carried 127 pounds and stepped
over the six furlong main course in
10 4-5. one-fifth Of a second behind
the track record established by Lucul-
lite two years ago. And he accomplished
this wonderful feat in the easiest BOSS.

Peter Piper and Routledge sped along

The stcepiechase resulted in a victory
for Joseph E. widenerss Joyful. He won
rather easily by half a length from
