BY HENRY ". KING.
William Daniels Blanc SEEING finished
first in the Mineola selling stakes. the
feature OF the program at Belmont Park
yesterday afternoon, but he didn't get
the 5000 purse or any part of it. He
was much the best in the race and went
past the judges galloping a length in
| front of Harry F. Sinclair's Thessaly
but few minutes later he was dis
qualified and the major end of the prize
was warded to Thessaly.
For disqualifying Blanc SEEING the
stewards were highly commended by the
big crowd of racegoers present. Soon
after the start Merimee guided Blanc
Seing across his field and nearly
knocked down John E. Madden's Wild
rake, Willis Sharpe Kilmer's Sweep
Hawk and Joseph Z. Widener's Anony-
nous. The stewards as well as almost
all the racegoers saw the foul. and as
soon as the horses weighed In they sent
for Ensor. Bruening, McAtee and Meri-

judges and z. c. Potter. the steward at
the start. All agreed Merimee was to
blame for the foul and Blanc Seing was
disqualified and the young jockey sus-
pended for the remainder of the meet

For not making a complaint Buddy
Ensor was reprimanded. He was told
that the next time he failed to complain
against such a foul he would be pun

That Wildrake, Sweep Hawk and
Anonymous did not go down seemed
miraculous. When Blanc SEEING cut
across they were going at top speed.
lighting for position. AS he got in
front of them Ensor on wildrake was
forced to pull up abruptly and nearly
went out of the saddle. While taking
back he took Bruening on Sweep Hawk
with him. This move probably saved
both horses from going down. Anony-
i nous. which was on the rail, was pulled
up so suddenly to escape being hit that
he wrenched a muscle In his near front
leg and pulled up lame.

contest. Only four horses competed,

The disappointment Of the race was
George D. Widener's Lanius. This aged

ner before the race and was made a
l to shot. He displayed no speed at
any stage of the journey and was
beaten off. He probably had an internal
hemorrhage. He has bled frequently

A big band OF Futurity candidates
went to the post In the final race to
run five and half furlongs down the
straight course. The winner turned nm

winner of the event and was at / to g..
The Whitney pair had not had any trials

| them ran exceptionally green. On the
main course they probably would have

good colts and will give better account
of themselves In the big stakes to come.
Bluemont didn't run straight either.
He seemed unaccustomed to the straight
course and ran all over the track. IL he
had run straight and true he probably
would have won by several lengths He
covered the distance in 1:05 2-5, excep-
tionally fast considering the fact that he
took zig gag course and lost many
lengths.
Between races Joseph r. widener sent
two of his Futurity candidates, He'll

winner OF the Preakness and the Bel

impressively. His trial was in prepare
