MY REVERE RACES
LIKE A CHAMPION
Gives Away Weight, Comes
From Behind and Beats Good
Fillies in Stake.
BY HENRY v. KING.

Ny Reverie, the sturdy bay filly which
Dick Brown of Sheepshead Bay named
in memory Of his son who was killed in
the war, showed conclusively yesterday
afternoon at the Empire City track that
she is the best Juvenile filly shown this
year. This daughter Of Ultimus and Re-
flex won the Demaiselle Stakes like a
champion. She carried 119 pounds.
came from behind end earned the major
portion of the $4,000 purse easily. AT
! the end she was under pull length
in front of Harry Payne Whitney's Peni-
tent. Frank J. Farrells Nancy II. was
third.
Clarence Hummer had the leg UP on
My Reverie and guided her perfectly.
| Outrun by Nancy +. in the early stages.
she stepped along under slight restraint
until the homestretch. There Hummer
took her a trifle wide to get the better
going and shook her UP. She bounded
after the leader and at the final fur
long pole was in command. From there
to the end she stepped along nicely with
out urging and had no trouble with
| standing Penitent's belated challenge.
The Rancocas Stables Rose Brigade
had rough journey and didn't do her
best when she got clear sailing.
1t was My Reverie's fourth victory.
She bNgan her career at New Orleans.
where she won two races and showed
such good form that Mr.. Brown decided
to reserve her for the rich stakes on the
metropolitan circuit.
As yearling she cost the proverbial
song. Mr.. Brown getting her and two
other fillies for $4,000. She was at sh
to In the betting yesterday. but that
her odds were so good was due to the
fact that she had a blister on one Of
her hooks, and racegoers who viewed
her in the paddock feared it would hurt
her when she ran. 1t didn't, neither did
it give her any pain after the race.
Royce Roofs Faster Than Ever.
Willie Travers has turned Royce Rools
into a great horse. This rheumatic son
OF Salvation. which was discarded from
several stables, ran like q wtirlwind in
the Tucloahoe Handicap. He beat PEN
rose and Sedgefield over the one mile
and seventy yard route, and he could
have beaten them at five furlongs. He
was full Of run and, following the
speedy and game Penrose for three
quarters of a mile, went to the front
and galloped the remainder of the way
to win by half a dozen lengths. Pen
rose finished second, two lengths ahead
OF Sedgefield. Royce Roofs travelled the
distance in the real good time of :43.
So fast did Royce Rools run that a
majority OF the racegoers believed PEN
rose ran a bad race and quit. 1t was
Royce Rools's great speed that made IT
appear as X she was stopping. All horse
men agreed that Royce Roofs would have
beaten Knobbie II Sam Hildreth hadn't
scratched him.
Grey Lag had little exercise in the
final event. He started in an overnight
event at one mile and had as opponents
Joseph e. Davis's Quecreek and S. A.
CIopton's Parader.
They were unable to make him ex-
tend himself at any stage OF the Jour
ney and he won in canter by four
lengths. Quecreek made the pace for
him for six furlongs. Then Sande al
lowed Grey Lag to run and in a few
bounds the Rancocas colt was romping
along by himself Quecreek had little
difficulty taking second money.
Lady Delhi beat a cheap band OF
juveniles in the opening event, Sammy
Kelly led home field of old platers in
the second and Ting-a-ling beat fifteen
cheap ones in the fifth.
That Ting-a-ling was returned the
victor was because Arrowhead, which
had a world OF speed and was leading by
half a dozen lengths. bolted all over the
track in the final furlong.
After Gypsey Lad was beaten In the
second race A. b. Gordon claimed him
for $4,000
One of the largest weekday crowds
that ever attended the Yonkers track
was present to see the contests.
