Of eyes saw II differently. Belphri-
renis, ridden by Marinelli, was the
heavily played fsvorite for the FIVE
and a half furlongs dash, but the hlly
was not az alert as the Riviera Stables
Miss Star, which MeAtee broke on her
toes and took out into commanding
lead az the field swept round the bend. /
Marinelli took a chance 20 jam his
way through between the Raneoeas sta I
ble's Curtis and Montfort Jones's The 1
Clown, which were running close to-
sether. There was not quite room. I
belphrizonia ricocheted between them, I
stumbled and bumped down The Clown, I
which was running on the outside: /
sChiek" Lang was so close behind /
Belphrizonia with John Z. Madden's I
Pay Dear that he had no time to pull /
up or pull out. He and his mount .
vent down in a heap over the pros /
trate horse and fallen rider. The I
struggling thoroughbreds and scram-
bling riders were lost in a cloud Of .
dust as the rest Of the field swept on I
toward the finish.
Pay Dear Is Destroyed
Miss Star held her advantage to the .
and, though the Sanford Stud Farms 1
Clentilt and the Raneocss Stables Cur
lis both challenged resolutely at the /
end Belphrizonia and The Clown gal I
loped down riderless behind the held .
and past the judges. Pay Dear was .
caught by the railbirds who hurried 20 .
the assistance Of the injured jockeys.
John Z. Madden had to have Pay A.,
1nstWrvad uFhar IL VS. found that
the Star Shoot-Afection flly had suf- /
fered q fractured leg and internal in
3uries.
A crowd Of several hundred attend
ants and patrons who were within a
abort distance Of the scene Of the 4
accident soon fastened 20 the spot. All !
three boys were completely knocked .
out for a time. The ambulance was
soon upon the scene and the doctors
found the unfortunate riders in no
sense badly injured, with the excep-
tion Of Lang. who will be out Of the
saddle for many weeks. Almost TO a
man the big crowd remained until the
Jockeys had been brought back TO the
Jockey room, and until it had been
demonstrated oeularly that the re-
ported death Of one or more was ex-
IRENE exaggeration.
The intense spasm Of excitement fol-
lowing the spill in the last race was
only one thrill Of many shocks. For
tunately, the preceding thrills had 70
do with the running and not the fall 4
ing Of thoroughbreds. The Rancocas |
Stables ThundeTclap, which won the /
Hudson Handicap at a mile, which was
the feature Of the days card, furnished /
as fine a thrill as the track will pro- |
duee In many a day. ThundeTclap /
proved, too, by the ease with which !
he packed his l25 pounds over the mile |
IA the fast time Of 1888 3-5 that he /
must be reekoned among the best Of !
the handicap division.
Old-Fashioned Betting Bee
A real old-fashioned betting race
this was. Thunderclap opened Z TO
8 fsvorite, but drifted' TO s to 3, so
heavily were some Of the others played.
The wise fish, and more especially 80
those Of the West, could see nothing /
In the race but d. Breckenridge's Lady /
kadcAp, supposedly one Of kentueky's |
very smartest tricks. Clifford A. Coch- /
rams Smoke Screen was the clocker's |
tip and n wagon load Of money showed 4
for him at the last minute.
Well, when Smoke Screen left that /
barrier IL didn't seem as II there was
TO be any horse race at all. II looked |
a. II McAtee would be unsaddled be-
fore the others finished. Smoke Screen /
shot out Of the pack as IL the others |
we're stuck In the mud. A length, a
length and q half, two lengths. two /
and o half and three he opened up and /
foing stronger all the while. About the /
time he hit the far bend Smoke Screen /
vas actually ten lengths 20 the good.
Thunderclap was the only one Of the /
Acid that could keep within gunshot |
Of that crazy horse so far in front. /
Sande seemed confident 20 bide his /
time awaiting the inevitable-no horse /.
could maintain the pace Smoke Screen |
was setting 70 the end Of a mile. Sande |
was saving something for the pinch. /
But all this time Thunderclap, under |
slight restraint, had driven Lady Mad |
cap 10 her limit TO keep within strik- /
ing distance. When Smoke Screen |
turned for home fully eight lengths in |
front IL did seem as ~ be could coast ]
the rest Of the way. But the big colt ,
soon began 10 shorten his stride and
foot by foot Thunderclap erept up on
the outside.
A furlong from home Smoke Screen
could hear the snorts Of his challenger !
pressing closer and closer. McAtee went
TO the whip with right good will. but |
Smoke Screen was through. Inside the !
sixteenth Thunderelsp roared past the |
Cochran colt as the Montreal Flyer |
passes the Saratoga station each morn /
ing. Thunderelap won by a length, /
with Lady Madesp three lengths be- |
hind the staggering Smoke Screen.
Serenader Beats GalantmSn
Quite as thrilling was the finish OF |
the Expectation Handicap, at mile, |
which had q guaranteed cash value OF /
5000. This also was a fne betting /
race, as IL seemed mighty open prop /
osItion. The race was won by TIE /
Sanford Stud Farms Serenader, the |
chestnut colt the stable thought better /
than snob III before il sold the latter /
70 J. S. Cosden. Coupled with Athel- |
stan, Serenader ruled second choice.
The Creentree Stable combination.
Csisntman and Pirate Gold, ruled IA
vorits at 8 20 2.
ssrensder proved q high class three
year-oid under ~-s.ipetent handling.
Heretofore nc aad been allowed 20 90
% the front and set the pace. Jockey
A. johnson rated Serenader on the
early pace OF the Greentree pair after
they had attempted TO race him into
the ground. He made his run through
the stretch and outgamed Chairman IN
the Anal drive. Athelstan, which laid
far back all the way, came with
great rush through the stretch and
nossd Pirate Gold out Of third money.
r. T. Wilson's highly touted Camp
Fire colt wilderness, succeeded in get
ting out of the maiden class by beat
ine a cheap field in the fifth at five
and a half furlongs. This colt raced
