The feature was the $4,000 Tre-
+ mont Stake for juveniles at six fur
longs, the longest distance the young
sters have been asked TO travel thif
season. 1t was won by ]. S. Cosden'$
Martingale. bay son of Martinez and
Lady Irma. He displayed a great
burst Of speed, plenty of stamina and
a fondness for the mud. He led all
The way and won rather easily by twa
lengths from John E. Madden's Bud

finished third. Over the sloppy track
Martingale travelled the six furlongs
IN the good time of 112 2-5.
While the fremont was the feature
and brought big field to the post. It
didn't furnish one bit better race than
did the Brookdale Handicap at one
mile and furlong. While the Tre-
mont was being run Sam Hildreth

nowned Grey Lag, leaving only the

Easy for Captain AIcock.
| Capt. Alcock was best of the trio. The
heavy track and his light impost OF Io
pounds suited him exactly, and he had
little difficulty winning the $4,000 purse
At the ju he was running easily
a length aud half in front of Bon
Homme. who was three lengths in front
of Letterman. The time Of the race was
1853 3-5.

The fremont brought together an even
dozen, with Goshawk carrying top
weight of 100 pounds. and Mrs. Payne

away. as he did last week in the great
American. He unseated Park. and on
| three different occasions tried to jump
over the outer rail. His bad behavior
caused long delay at the post. This

along and had little difficulty In beating
him for the second end Of the purse.
Martingale's race was a real fine per-
formance and stamped him as a colt far
above the ordinary. especially in heavy
going. In his last start he beat a good
field and on two previous occasions he
met with repeated interference early in
the race and never had chance 70 show

at 10 to l.
Bon Homme had the most early speed
and went to the front as soon as the
barrier went up. He sped up the back
stretch two lengths in front OF Captain
Alcock. who was a similar distance
ahead OF Letterman. Just before the
bend was reached Captain Alcock began
TO move up. and so did Letterruan. with
