resterdayS racing 3s the Jamaica tr2ch.
IF three horses saddled by the veteran
trainsr OF the Rancoeas Harry F.
sinclair stable, two sped past the
indpes first, while She other was good
second. Inciuded in the two victories
II the day was the feature race. This
vas the Newton Selling Stakes. with
$4,000 added, at six furlongs, fer three
year-olds and upward, and there was
noshiug in the field Of FIVE that could
make yaIor work up decent gallop.
This aged horse never Won an easier
sase5 worth cf oats for his owner and
he has a number of clever victories
suaer his old chestnut hide. That is
Inc amount yesterdays feature was
worth to the winner, which probably
woald have laughed himself to death at
the righteousness of It all If his horse
sense could appreciate the humor. It
wasn't race; it was a parade.
yslor was enc Of three favorites to
and the brackets during the afternoon
and like the other two was an odds-on
selection. Earl Saade had the mount
and got away from the barrier like q
holt cf lightning. In few jumps
yalor had drawn out far enough to
: take the rail aud it was then seen it
rss all over but paying off. Sande
mad a Ian full of the horse, which cor
tinued to draw away under wraps.
Crystal Ford Poor Third
Victor McLaughlin's Fort Churchill
was the only one of the ether four
which could keep within hailing dis
,snce Of the pacemaker and ne had the
time Of his life doing that, Going
raund the far turn, the field was
strung out Indian file with plenty of
DAYLIGHT showing everywhere. Billy
clancy's Crystal Ford that runs like
Man O. War to-day and like mutt
to-,norrow. was about the biggest dis
appointment of his career.
Ee had been backed rather heavily
sor. the place, but he couldn't get up a
doc srot. He was as frigid as the face
al landlord Crystal Ford trailed
ths field till furlong from home,
when he managed to stick his muzZle in
'front.' of knight of the Heather. Our
goots ran a fair race, though he never
seriously threatened Fort Churchill
FOR the place at any time.
The victory Of Valor atoned in q
MEASURE for the disappointment of
Rose Brigade in the opening race, at
1--WE furlongs. This trial was for maiden
two-year-old FLIES, and the Rancocas
candidate was considered sure thing
bv the elect. The checkers had reported
hsr 3 bay streak, and as the Hildreth
horses. without exception, have been
ccing to the post lit for the races Of
their lives. the filly was made favorite
and strongly played.
But s. A CIopGon, who trains part
Of the RI. P. Whitney string, had a
trick up his sleeve in Pastoral, chest
nut flly by Whisk Broom T-Sylvan,
which was facing the barrier for the
first time. Coltiletti got this one off
Ike Careful, and always held Rose
Brigade safe. The latter was much the
best OF the others.
D. Wideuer's Galeta. backed from
70 to to 2. seemed sluggish and was
bumped about a bit considerably at
The start Once she found her racing
legs she came down the stretch like
a scared iackrabbit, though too late to
get more prominently into the pictures
than as winner of third money. The
Hidener FLY will bear watching.
Hackamore Scores Easily
There was cnly one distance race,
the fifth, at q mile and seventy yards,
which attracted field of eight and
developed the biggest surprise of the
day. Likewise, it furnished the finest
melon-cutting Of the meet TO date, as
T. 5. 2. Randolph's four-year-old geld
ing, Hackamore, tow-roped the lot
and won as easily as Valor.
Hackaniore was hammered down by
the wise money from los to IS. Ciar-
ence Turner shot him out TO the front
at the start and took the track before
ne reached the clubhouse turn After
that 1t was simply a case of sitting
tsht. Hackamore never was let down.
nut always maintained an advantage
Of nearly half dozen lengths.
1t was q different case with the
iavorite, P. G. King, which also had

sanin attempted to whip his horse
around the field most of the way and
.:faveied about sixteenth of a mile
ufsher than the other eontenders as
q consequence.

though it must be confessed Hacka-
more looked about the livest horse
soas mad gone to the races in coon's
age. ?. 9. King made a game effort
sfFongh the stretch, but he never had
chance to get up.
sslvestra Wins in a Drive
ne second race, at Ave and a half
toiongs, furnished the only real thrill
1ag hnish OF the afternoon. J. j.

nnehced Woodstock could do. for
Ninneconne and so saved startling
upset. Carline s., the second choice

u short an eighth from home.
another killing was made with j
:. Nash's Bennington in the third. at

SaeSsd from 10 to 1 TO 4 to i, had &C
