on again in the final sixteenth and
might have won in few more jumps
Moonraker also closed fast Visil lost
ground but finished with rush. Tall
Timber was running faster than any
horse in the race at the end. with
even racing luck at the start he would
have been a keen contender all the
way.
Caveat Emptor covered the short six
furlong course in the real good time Of
1:l0 rs, only a fifth of a second slower

to cover it In winning the second race,
Caveat Emptor's race showed that he
is a true colt and that when he ran out

Rain for Handicap Horses.
Just before the horses went TO the post
for the Yonkers Handicap 1t began to
rain, but the track was still fast when
the quintet were sent on their journey
of a mile and a sixteenth. Grey Lag
was the top weight for the event, but he
was withdrawn, Sam Hildreth believing
the weight was too much for him and
that Knobbie or Mad Halter could do
the trick
AS the barrier went UP Knobbie. as
was expected, shot to the front. with
Devastation. carrying l02 pounds, second
and Letterman third. Captain Alcock
was fourth and Mad Halter last and
fighting hard for more rein. Rounding
the first turn Knobbe showed the way
by two lengths. At this point pevasta-
ton outran Captain Alcook and forced
the Quincy Stable horse inte pocket.
To get out of IL McAtee was compelled
TO ease back and lose several lengths.
Down the backstretch Knobbie stepped
along at a fast pace, still two lengths
ahead of Devastation, with Letterman
third. Captain Alcock was fourth and
Mad Halter fifth and sulking. He had
been crowded entering the backstretch
and was refusing to do his best
While making the next turn Knobbie
began to falter and Devastation went
after him. At the same time Captain

him with every bound. But the Captains
gains were only inches at time, and
with only fifty yards to go he was

putting up a whirlwind of finish or
Devastation and McAtee was ridins
Captain Alcock like a master. WITH
every bound Captain Alcock gained
but during this short distance his gains
were less than an inch mt time and trS
as McAtee might he was unable to ge

had been passed. In enc more jump the
Captain would have been returned the
victor.
The time of the race was AS AS, the

Three Locked at Finish.
The result of the second race ais,
was a thriller. Ten Lee, Pen Rose and
Dominique finished so close togethel
that the racegoers were In doubt abou
the result until the Official nurnber'

The Judges gave the decision to Tel
Lee by a nose. with Pen Rose O. simila
