tho ovation was mild because his hol-
low victory did not appeal to the rank
and file OF racegoers.
Following the fiasco through the field
on Wednesday the steeplechase was
good contest All of the eight maidens
except Plumcot did their best. Plum
cot was ridden by negro named I.
Barrett. He lost one OF his stirrups
after going a mile and half and fear
ing fall slid out Of the saddle. AS
soon as the race was over Joseph Il.
Davis had Barrett in the stand and
asked him several questions. He adj
mitted that he made a neat fall and
the stewards suspended him for the
meeting.
A Real Chase.
When he fell off Plumcot was con-
tender running third close behind Surr
and Franc Tireur. AS he galloped along
riderless the other seven contestants
We're well punched, and it was almost
any ones race Until quarter of mile
from home. At that point Surf and
Sea Scot began to draw away, and they
went over the last hedge almost abreast
In landing Sam Bush, who rode and
trained Sea Scot lost one of his stirrups
and Surf went On to what seemed an
easy victory. But hundred yards from
the finish Woodruff, ridden by Hunt,
came with rush and went to the front.
Fifty yards frorl home Bush regained
mis- iron and by putting UP sensational
finish managed % land Sea Scot home
tnei winner by a head Woodruff was
second and Surf third.
The Hudson Handicap furnished a
stirring race. Devastation and Parader
We're the only contenders, and almost all
the racegoers lroi ed for Devastation to
score an easy victory. But he didn t.
he was beaten in nip and tuck finish
by head.
r. I. Wilson's Duncecap beat big
fleld OF juveniles in the third event.
Bullman held him off the pace until well
IN the homestretch. There he gave him
crack with tie whip and the son of
Olambala responded gamely and won by
length from ?ud Fishers Evil.
Ed Soule's Edwina beat good field
or fillies in the opening event. He was
lated behind the pacemakers. which were
led by Ten Lee until the final furlong
pole was reached. There he sped after
the fast tiring leaders,, and under a Wig
orous ride got up in time to win by a
half length. George ID. Widener's Last
Straw was secon ! and Penrose third.
D. ;. CoSden's Roulette led home a
tield OF half dozen high class juveniles
IN the final race, including Santa Clara,
2 Western star belonging to j. c. Milan,
the trainer who developed Miss JOY for
Montford Jones. Roulette followed Harry
Payne Whitney's Yankee Maid for a fur
long and then went to the front and won
easily by length. Yankee Maid was
second and p. y. Clark's Exterminater
third. Santa Clara was fourth. Santa
Clara, which is reputed to be a whirl-
wind on dry track, apparently did not
like the heavy going and failed to show
any great speed at any time. She left
the starter all tangled up and floundered
about all the way.
