Sweepment, under an impost of 1853
pounds, easily won the greensboro
Steeplechase Handicap over distance
of two miles and half, the feature of
small but interesting card at Aque-
duct yesterday. j. S. Cosden's Bullseye
was second and third money went to
j. E. Dayis's Valspar. II. w. Maxwell's
Decisive, coupled in the betting with
Valspar, and the only other starter, fell
after completing full turn of the
field. Sweepment's victory added ST.
900 to his winnings.
1t really was no contest, as Sweep
ment outclassed his company and from
the moment the starter gave them the
word he never left the result in doubt.
Mergler, who rode the gelding, took q
nice hold on him and let him race along
at his own pace. Coming down the
straight for the last time, Sweepment
drew away and won under a stiff pull
by four lengths. Bullseye moved up
fast in the last half mile and was an
easy second, fifteen lengths in front of
Valspar.

Chateau Thierry, carrying the colors
of John Sanford, did not have to ex-
tend herself to win the fourth race,
the Cleopatra Handicap over the mile
route. Chateau Thierry was we'll sup
ported by the form players and after
turning for home she gave her hackers
little cause for worry, for she drew
away from her company and won as
she pleased by three lengths Edwina,
which lay in third place during the
early running, came on in the last fur
long and took the place from Elected
III, the pace-maker, by four lengths.
Escarpolette ran wide on the home
turn, as she did in her last start, and
was just beaten for the short end Of
the purse.
c. A. Stoneham's Rcbuke was made
an evenmoney choice for the opening
event, five-furlong dash for maiden
two-year- -olds, but failed to get share
good thing from the Foreign Stable,
was returned the winner after hard
tussle with Attoo in the drive. Night
boat got the decision by length, with
Attoo a like distance before Miracle
Man.
Mercury. with Fator in the saddle
galloped off with the third event, much
to the joy of the badly bent talent He
made all the running and won off by
himself by three lengths. Sea Cove,
which had laid in second position all
the way, remained there to the end,
lasting just long enough to beat the
fast-coming Teddy R. by q short head.
Polythia, after showing prominently,
stopped to nothing in the last furIong
and finished last.
The first real upset of the afternoon
came in the fifth, selling affair for
three-year- -olds and upward at mile
and five -sixteenths. Dark Hill was con-
sidered a good thing and was installed
an even-money choice, but after lead
ing to the end Of the stretch he quit
and finished poor last in a field of
three. Lady Emmalne, which had
trailed the field until half way down
the stretch, came on through the final
furlong and won going away by two
lengths. Huoncc beat the firing Dark
Hill length and half for second
money.
Fog Settles Over Track
When the horses were called out for
the final event a heavy fog blew in
from Jamaica Bay and settled over the
track. 1t was utterly impossible to
see the horses while they trotted down
the backstretch to the start and the
crowd did not even know the race was
on until the shadowy forms loomcd up
at the ee-sixtecnths pole.
Then it was seen that Dolores and
Emotion were fighting it out and the
latter got the verdict by scant head
Pierre Qui Roule was third. four
