The Nursery this year brought out a
field Of nine high-class two-year- olds,
though none Of the strongest cham
pionahip candidates accepted the issue.
Coupled with the fily Solisa, Cherry
Pie ruled a particularly strong favor
ite, opening at to and closing at
2 to l. There was strong play for
the Quincy Stable entry Caveat Emp
tor and Carolas well as fer w. J..
Salmon's Vigil.
Starter Mars Cassidy sent the nine
away in good alignment. Aladdin, of
the Raneocas Stable entry, was the
first to show and in the first fifty
yards drew off 70 a half lengths lead,
closely pressed in turn by Caveat Emp
ing over for position in the run to the
turn, FIRST pinched off, and then herded
in the coal black colt of the Quincy
Stable.
Jockey L. Morris, who seemed to-
hesitate about jamming his way
through on the outside of Aladdin,
soon lost all opportunity to improve
his position and was carried wide all
the way around the turn, thus being
forced to run much further than the
front runners. Caveat Emptor closed
resolutely under the lash and might
possibly have had something more def
mite to say about where the victory
belonged had Morris been less timorous
at the start.
Meanwhile the Greentree Stables
gelding had gone out after Aladdin
and soon put him away after a brush
around the turn. William Tell worked
through on the rail and took the con-
tending position when Aladdin faltered.
1t was procession in this order from
the head of the stretch clear across
the finish line, Cherry Pie holding the
others safe for the lions share Of the
purse and William Tell doing the same
for the place money.
Cherry Pies victory was an i'm
pressive one, as he ran the three quar-
ters under top weight of 118 pounds in
the very fine time of I'LL 2-5, which
was only one-ffth second slower than
Dominique's time for the same route
IN the opening race. Dominique car
RED 125 pounds, it is true, but he was
under hard drive. Cherry Pie fin
ished galloping
The day started none too auspi-
ciousiy as Dominique, of the Allies
Stable, beat cut G. D. Widenerss
heavily-played Lanius, favorite of the
first heat For five of the six fur
longs it appeared that the Widener
gelding surely would win, but toward
Iit1 Cnu ne UeBdn TO tire ana hanE as
if short, and Dominique closing with
rush, got up to win by half length.
j. e. Widener's Frank B. stole q
'ong lead on his field and won the
teeplechase at about two miles
hough he was a mighty tired horse
nd at the finish had to be whipped
rom the last jump to make good his
dvantage. The Greentree Stables
fohican was much the best of thu
others. The Virginian finished a dis
tant third. Sea Void was taken al
oyer the course by L. Goings, who wa:
evidently unfamiliar with the course
Royal Greens refused at the sixth
obstacle
The Rancocas Stables Little Chief
and Thuhderclap ran one-two respec-
lively in the Manhattan Handicap o1
q mile, the secondary feature of the
afternoon. The pair finished neck tc
neck in the excellent time of 1888
The race was run strictly to form, as
H. Waterson's Brainstorm, the second
choice, beat the Greentree Stables
Galantman, the only other starter, fol
the consolation end of the money
The victory added $3.50 to Little
Chiefs earnings.
Shortly after the start Galantmar
tcok the track and drew op to a lead
of three lengths. Little Chief was the
contender here, with Brainstorm 8
