whitney shows New Marvel.

Harry Payne Whitney showed the big
crowd of racegoers here another speed
marvel. He is Flagstaff, half brother
10 the mighty Whiskaway. He is by
Broomstick out of Inaugural. while
whiskaway is by Whiskbroom I'd out of
Inaugural.
Flagstaff made his debut in the sec
ond race, a five furlong event for
maiden Juveniles McAtee had the
mount on him and got him away fairly
we'll, but the colt acted green at the
start. and before the first sixteenth of
mile had been run he was in sixth
position.
McAtee settled him down to running
quickly and the colt displayed tre-
mendous burst of speed. He ran around
the leaders, which were running almost
abreast and in about seventy yards
was in front This move took lot out
Of Flagstaff. and when he reached the
home stretch he was a tired colt. But
McAtee piled the whip often and he re-
sponded under 1t courageously and won
by two lengths. The Triple Springs
FARMS Pittston was second and John
Il. Madden's Cheapside third. Flagstaff
ran at least twenty lengths more than
his opponents and covered the five fur
longs in 100
Grayson's Colors First.
For the first time during the meeting
the colors of Admiral Cary Grayson
flashed home in front in the third race.
They were Borne to victory in sensa-
tional fashion by his old chestnut mare
Knot She followed Desha Breckin-
ridges Braedalbane closely until well
into the homestretch. There Fator went
10 work on her and under one of the
best finishes of the meeting Knot got
home head in front of Braetalbane.
Mrs. Payne Whitney's Exodus was
third. four lengths in front OF Montford
Jones's High Cloud. Knot stepped over
the six furlongs route in Ill 2-5.
The Mohawk Selling Stakes was the
feature OF the program. 1t was for
three-year-ol at one mile. William
Daniels Costigan won the race by a
head from Modo. which was head In
front OF Tangerine.
Costigan's race was a form reversal
OF the worst kind. In his last start he
was beaten off. At that time he was
the favorte. To-day he was at 10 TO /.
Costigan wasn't the best horse In the
race Neither was Modo Tangerine
ran as IL twenty pounds the best, and
with anything like decent ride prob
ably would have won eased up. Thomas
had the mount on him and any stable
lad in Mr. Wilson's barn could have
ridden him better. Thomas went away
from the barrier pulling up, then the
colt nearly ran off with him and
Y Thomas guided him into a pocket on the
back stretch. Unable to run. the colt
lost many lengths and seemed hope
lessly beaten entering the home stretch.
There. through no effort on his Jockeys
part. Tangerine found clear aeiling and
bounded after the leaders. He made
I'D half n dozen lengths and looked as
II he couldn't lose the race, but Thomas
found another pocket for him and kept
him pinned in until the race was over.
II was the worst piece OF jockeyship
displayed here this season.
Modo's First Race since Spring.
Costigan covered the mile in the real
, good time OF i :37 2-5 1t was Modo's
first appearance since the spring. He
showed plenty OF speed. but ran as II
short. He is likely to show vast i'm
provement In his next effort.
John Paul Jones, an odds on favor
lite. merely galloped 10 win the fifth
race. lie allowed Galantman to lead
until entering the home stretch. There
he went to the front and coasted home
! 10 the easiest kind OF a victory. lie was
four lengths ahead of Gaiantman at the
end.
Harry T. Slnclairs Curtis showed a
big Improvement over his effort of a
= few days ago and beat a big field OF
maiden two year-olds handily. He went
to the front rounding the turn and
|, under vigorous ride by Sande re-
4 mained in command to win by length.
Cape Clear was second and Pow Pow
third
At the final furlong pole Cape Clear
interfered with Bill Clancys Stony Point
and made McAtee pull up. For some
unaccountable reason the stewards didn't
even ask any question about the foul. Il
was the same way in the last race
,esterday. when Great Luck interfered
with Boys Believe Me and Moonraker.
both fouls we're committed right under
20 eyes Of the stewards. but because no
complaint was lodged they took no ac-
tion.
Susiana, which formerly belonged to
the Syndicate Stable, beat big field OF
heap juveniles In the opening race.
She won on the post by head from X.
r. Wilson's Ducks and brakes Buddy
Ensor had the leg up on the Wilson
youngsser and rode a remarkably fine
