i which he won the Empire City Ha
vas the feature of the opening day q
Yesterday afternoon.
Well ridden by Jockey Laverne
s..or this game son of Star Shoot-Miss
v,nie picked up the heavy impost of
10 mounds and galloped home in front
:. tnnr other first rate stable horses
e,ev lag led at the end by more than
go lengths. The Xalapa Farms Bon
s.ms wss second and S. Pettit's De-
mstation third.
Devastation, indeed, might have won
~. lions snare Of the prize money, which
VAS $3.50 with q little better racing
,,,. B. Marinelli certainly was guilty
= nsay racing fault during the long
;.u,,ey. His mount was sloughed
.ssrly after the start and then was
suided into no less than three sepa-
sste and distinct pockets. Not until
,rsIl down the stretch did Devastation
Ind free running room and then he
elosed on the leaders with rare cour-
age and resolution.
GREY Lag, too, experienced his diff
entities, but Fator wisely laid off the
Killing pace and moved up gradually in
the long run through the back stretch
sstor eventually made his bid when
tslf way around the far turn, and
coming TO the outside of Captain Alcock
md Bon Homme soon sprinted into a
eommanding lead
Captain Alcock Surprises
It was Captain Alcock that cut out
he early pace, which astonished most
,slks, as the Captain is known as
dsw beginner. Jockey c. Ponce hav-
ns been set down, j. D. Mooney rode
sie Quincy Stable candidate, which NAV
zsnner in which Captain Alcock was
.ndled. Mooney simply took the track
I'D raced his mount in front as far
Is he would go. The ultimate result
Us a foregone conclusion. Captain
Asock eventually folded in turning for
tare and was run down by Bon Honme.
L was then that Fator went to work
rth the favorite and Grey Lag re-
ponded like the good game horse he is.
Tribune Wins Fifth Event
Tribune closed with a great rush
through the final furlong of the fifth
,ace and won going away from Cum
Sab. The Quincy Stables Mystic hung
On more gamely than usual to land
saird money.
H. NJ. Howard's St. Allan simply
spread field Of nine in the third heat
at about six frrlongs. James Buffers
Picnic got the place while Samuel
Ross's Crank closed with great burst
Of speed TO grab the short end of the
prize money. The Marrone Stables
Whisk was the hot thing of the trial
but tailed off badly after being prom
inent for half mile. Bud Fishers
Muskallonge also folded at the top of
the stretch, killed OF by the fast pace
Of ST. Allan.
Nrs, N. S. Aliens two-year-o!d geld
ing Faisley won the Arcadia purse. a
hve and 8 half furlongs dash that in
sugurated the meeting. Jockey R. Car
Nr ran down Daniel, which was also
ihriy we'll favored in the sprint up
ss back stretch and took a safe lead
the run around the bend. Paisley
ssld the race safe to the end though
be was straight at the end of the
issrney ~
Lady lnez Finishes Third
Lady 1nez, which finished third
might have been troublesome with bet
sr fortune. This one was slow to be-
gn after very unfavorable start, but
a,csed with a brilliant burst of speed
through the stretch. Sam H. Harris's
True Flier never figured seriously.
j.. Murphy's good mare Thimble.
walch was favorite for the second race
AZ a mile and seventy yards, won
easily enough. with Frigate second and
Iangerne third. Frigate held on
ssnely for six furlongs, but chucked
gong around the far bend. Bell
so!ar and Iangerine meanwhile were
@Sn-dozen Sin lengths behind the pace.
SsAsoIar, slow beginner, looked
a.gety dangerous swinging into the
suetch, but failed to develop her usual
smart hnlshing ability and could not
sS sS9ueeIe INTO the money. The Roll Call,
tne only other starter, was badly out,
The Empire City opening attracted
