SlaDle bought from jim fltZSlIIlIIlOIlS
last week for $4,000, finished first
and second yesterday afternoon in the
Carlton Stakes. the feature of the pro-
gramme at the Aqueduct track. KNOB
bic, which cost $4,000. led home Play
fellow the $4,000 brother of Man o.
War, by four lengths.
The race did not prove that Knobbie
was the better colt. Sam Hildreth de-
clared to win with Knobbie, and Play
fellow had nothing more than an ex-
ercise gallop. In fact, he didn't have
that, for jockey Fator held him under
restraint from start to finish. The pair
outclassed their opponents and at the
end of the one mile journey, Walter
Salmon's Careful, which led the re-
mainder of the field, was staggering
from fatigue half a dozen lengths be-
hind Playfellow.
Without doing his best Knobbe COW
cred the one mile route in 1888 1-5.
After the race it was the opinion of
all horsemen that Playfellow would have
galloped home in much faster time If he
had been allowed to run.
Confident Knobbie would win, Hill
dreth instructed Fator 10 place Play
fellow and allow him to run in the
homestretch il any horse threatened
Enobbie. 1t was the first time the big
brother of Man O. War had been placed
and he didn't seem to relish ii. Enter
ing the homestretch Fator gave him a
little free rein and In a few jumps he
was in second place. With only Knobbie
IN front of him. Fator took another grip
on the reins and allowed him to breeze
home in second place.
Hildreth was pleased with the work
OF both colts and said he believed Play
fellow would be the undsputed cham

Because of the price he brought, Play
fellow acted as magnet and brought a

lie leaped back as the kick started his
way, Dut MS Irlenu WHO was near re-
ceived a touch of II on the wrist. II
vas the first time the colt had ever
kicked any one and was big surprise
to his former stable hands. Always he
had been as gentle as a lamb and would
rether play than kick.
When Knobbie and Playfellow came
bounding down the homestretch far in
front OF their opponents the crowd.
which number more than 10000. gave
them a great ovation. But these cheers
soon turned to means. As they were
galloping past the judges Broomspun,
the fine bay colt belonging to Harry
Payne Whitney, which won the rich
Preakness. was hobbling about on three
legs on the other side of the track.
He had been kicked at the post by Ed
Nash's Bennington and had the bone in
his right shoulder broken. Despite the
terrible pain from this injury the cour-
ageous thoroughbred struggled on for
quarter of mile. Then he succumbed
and Jockey Hummer dismounted. The
poor fellows foot was dangling in the
air and Jimmy Rowe. his trainer, or
dered him destroyed immediately.
Mr. Whitney was at the course for
the first time in several weeks and was
despondent over the loss of his good
colt
The race wasn't much of a contest.
Knobbie darted to the front as soon as
the barrier went up Clifford A. Coch-
rams Smoke Screen and Careful fol-
lowed him two lengths back all the way
down the stretch. while Playfellow ran
in fifth position under a stout pull.
Rounding the turn Knobbie increased
his lead and entered the homestretch
three lengths in front Then. when
Smoke Screen and Careful began to
stagger. Playfellow came bounding
along and made them look as IL they
were standing still while Knobbie
romped home to an easy victory.
