AUTUMN RACING
AT ITS HEIGHT
Tryster Takes Havre de Grace
Feature, While Exterminator
Wins Toronto Cup
FOUR BIG TRACKS OPEN

Probably never before in the history
OF the turf was there brighter day IN
racing than on Saturday. Four big
tracks were in full blast-IIavre de
Grace, Toronto, Latonia and Aquc-
| duct-and important stakes were de-
cided at each track. Tho most inter-
csting race was the Toronto Cup at
| WOodbine, where the valiant old EX-
terminator carried 1877 pounds to vic
| tory over a route of mile and fourth,
defeating My Dear and Golden Sphere,
! in which race Boniface was unplaced.
The Potomac Handicap for 10000
was the brilliant feature at Havre de
Grace, which was won by Harry Payne
Whitney's Tryster, which defeated BY
Jimminy and Bygone Days in hard
drive. Mr.. Whitney won another stake
| in New York, when his Damask shat
.cred the track record in the Aqucduct
Handicap, defeating Mad Halter. Mr..
Whitney won that feature last year
with John p. Grier.
Also ExterminRtor won the Toronto
Cup last year. The Toronto Cup fire.
quently has been won two years in
succession by the same horse. Rancher
won 1t in 1915 and 1916. 1t was not
run during the war. In 1912 and again
In 1908 and 1909 It was won by
Bouquet. The Havre lie Grace feature,
the Potomac, was won last year BY
Man O. War.
Upsets Mt LatOnia
In the Latonia feature, the Twin
City Handicap, n number of things took
place, among which was the winning
of the stake by II. T.. Soleman, an out
S;dcr. at odds of about twenty to one.
That ordinary horse easily defeated
Black Servant, and Behave Yourself,
the Kentucky Derby winner, broke
down. The failure Of Black Servant
marked the seventy fifth day since the
large +. r. Rradlcy stable has won u
race. Just when the jinx will be routed
from Idle Hour Farm can not be fore
told. Ordinarily it would be thrown
out the window today, when Bit of
White. highly bred and fleet filly will
meet her interiors, but who would
hazard Judgment on the Bradley for
tunes now?
OF slightly less interest than the
feature number ut Latonla was the
running of the Gun Club Handicap, in
which Guy, deemed selling platter OF
the better order, defeated four or five
Of the best sprinters now racing, IN
Guiding Distinction, Miss Jemima,
Brookholt, High Cost, DIR. Clark and
Ginger.
The race of kcenest interest Of the
last week was the showing of Norwich,
The two year old son of Runnymedc-
Hymir. in winning the Eastern Shore
Handicap at Hnvre de Gracc's opening,
marking his tenth victory in which he
hoe won S72 4St llp has never been
defeated. Norwich was bred by a. B.
spree kles. Of California. Hymir, the
dam of Norwich, has only one other
representative, the three year -old filly
Segurola. Hymir was by DR.. Leggo-
Georgia Girl. Runnymede, the sire Of
Norwich, was by Voter Running
