AQUEDUCT RACE TRACK. Sept.
22.-The Rancocas Stables Thund-
efclap and Little Chief ran one, two
in the Potomac Handicap. a race
which Charles Stoneham hoped to
win with his 3-year- Flannel
Shirt. The latter was third. Thun-
derclap carried 1873 pounds and ran
the distance in 1895, within as
of a second of the track record.
Sande, who rode Thunderclap, got a
great reception when he returned
to the steyards' stand.
1t was no race at all for Thunder
clap. He simply let Little Chief,
Frigate and flannel Shirt go out and
beat themselves and when he was
ready in the stretch he just breezed
past all three. At the end Sande
had a snug hold of him, half
length in front of his stable mate.
Little Chief. with Flannel Shirt
giving up his all at length back.
This made the third winning mount
of the day for Sande He previ-
ously had ridden Wildrake in the
first and Violinist in the third. In
the second race he was third on
Hephaistos.
Oil Man was good thing in the
second race, a six furlong handicap
for 3-year- -olds and he delivered.
He and Pirate Gold came down the
stretch almost locked. Shuttinger
went to the whip, and finally Oil
Man drew out to win by a comfort
able margin. They had a bit of a
humping match, but it didn't seem
to affect the result. Hephaistos was
third. The stewards sent for Tap
lin. who rode Pirate Gold, and after
questions ordered the red ok board
up.
