noon. John E. Madden's Best Love,
with M. Garner up, was one of the very
best fancied of afternoons favorites,
though at the last minute q ton of
money hammered the odds against
Aladdin from to ] to to 2. H. H.
Hewitt's Banter sprung surprise on
the others. She was away from the
gate like Careful and in no time had
opened lead of three or four lengths.
Best Love was closest in pursuit, with
Aladdin only a length back.
Turning into the homestretch it
looked as if nothing could head Ban
ter. The others were not gaining an
inch But about the eighth pole Ban
Love closed resolutely on the outside,
but outside of him again came Aladdin
under a most spirited ride by Laverne
Fator. Best Love was sandwiched in
between the firing Banter and the
charging Aladdin. This placed Garner
at a great disadvantage through the
final sixteenth, as he was unable to
use his whip as the others were doing.
AS it was, he seemed roughed up
bit by the horse to either side. But
there was no claim of foul. Aladdin
won by the scantiest of margins, while
Banter was given the preference over
Best Love for the place.
Montfort Jones's Miss Cerina stole
a long lead in the opening trial of
five and half furlongs and withstood
the challenge of Daniel, the favorite,
at the end Daniel was perhaps the
better of the two, as he was sent away
in a tangle while the winner got a
step at the barrier.
Long Shots Lead the Field
William Martins Zed, at II to l..
came from far back in the stretch to
win the fifth race at mile Callahan
gave one of his greatest money"
finishes. Carefree, another Is to
shot, finished second, and King Albert
third. Orcus threatened to "spread"
the field for six furlongs, but tired I'M
der the early PAGES.
j. S. Cosden's Good Times took the
track and romped through the six fur
longs ahead of Sleiveconard, the
highly touted and heavily played ia
vorite. Bud Fishers Violinist was
third.
1t had been planned to hold seven
races to-day, but owing to the heavy
rains and the many early Withdrawals
of maiden two-year-olds it was not
found necessary to do so. The limo
walton will doubtless wait now for
several days.
The track is bound to be uncertain
until we'll along in the week, for after
a fair afternoon the storm has set in
heavily again tonight. There is every
evidence of continued rain.
The exodus of Saturdays visitors
taxed every available transportation ia
cility from this city not only on Sat
| urday night, but throughout Sunday
and Sunday night as we'll. Broadway
here tonight is as deserted as Oliver
Goldsmith's village, for which the rain
is partly to blame. Bad weather, with
out doubt, scared back to their homes
many of Saturdays visitors who came
bent on a visit of several days

t
the day on the two-year-old colt Alad-
din in the second race, at five and a
half furiongs. He came from far back
and won out in a most exciting and
sensational finish against D. Connolly
on Banter and NJ. Garner on Best
Love, that finished inches apart in the
order named. The next two efforts
which succeeded in sequence were just
like breaking sticks. In both these
trials Fators mounts won off by them
selves under wraps.
Despite the fact that scratching was
unusually heavy because of the recent
deluge that left the course soggy with
usually heavy Original entries had
left each field SO congested as to be
unwieldly had all gone to the post
There were an even dozen to contest
the feature race, for instance. after
Bud Fisher had added Adventures.
Winner Pays IL to /.
Fator won this feature race, the
Schuylerville, q dash of FIVE and half
furlongs for two-year-old FLIES, with
Edict, of the Rancocas Stable. There
was such balance Of class among the
dozen starters that odds as liberal as
IL to ] were laid against the winner
The public fancied both E. B. McLean's
Comixa and J. S. Cosden's Henna above
Edict, which was known in her turn
to fancy the sort of track that had
been left after the deluge.
But when it came to stepping or
skating through the ooze and mud
Edict was in a class all by herself
question with Comixa, and she settled
it in such fashion that the Mclean
FLY, after racing herself dizzy in the
first half mile, folded like wet rag
and dropped away back into the ruck.
Fator struck the home turn two lengths
in front of the favorite and peeping
back to see if there was anything else
dangerous. He had snug hold on
Edict all the way down the stretch and
could have won by twice the distance
had he so desired.
AS it was he was three good lengths
ahead of Miss Smith, which in turn
for the place. Great Luck, which was
off poorly from an outside position and
so forced wide all the way, ran a most
creditable race and made up a world of
ground in the stretch. She had to
travel many lengths further than the
front runners and is well worth remem-
boring.
The third race, the North Creek
handicap. at mile, for three-year-olds,
was only gallop for the Rancocas
Stables Little Chief. Here field of
nine was scratched down to three
F. E. Browns Hephaistos and Mont
ford Jones' Rockminster completing
the trio Little Chief was literally
backed off the boards by his stable con-
nections and the public, being ham
mered down from 8 to to to S. He
won as a l to 10 shot might be ex-
pected to do.
Fator Rates OFF Pace
1t was a procession all the way.
Fator took his mount to the front
where ne rated him a couple of lengths
ahead of Hephaistos, always maintain
ing that advantage irrespective of the
cballenger'ss best efforts. Rockminster
quickly was outrun and dropped from
all contention. Hc splattered past the
finish more than ten lengths behind
Hephaistos.
The second, a dash of FIVE and a half
furlongs for -year-olds, developed
by far the prettiest finish Of the after

Catcher. And Poison Both

The editor of this column has never
vet seen farmers as Il whole show as
great an interest on anyone thing as
they are showing just now in the
plans to extcrminatc the boil wccvilS
from the cotton in the county and
make crop this year. There are
probably 100000 acres planted to cot
ton in the county this year. If the
systematic fighting of wcevils would
only result in the increased yield of
a tenth of bale to the acre. the
money value would run up to a mil
lion dollars. In former years. cot
ton that was poisoned in different
localities has done much better than
this compared with cotton that was
left alone.
There have been sold to date about
a thousand boil wcevil catchers in the
county, counting orders for future
delivery. More than that hundreds
are showing interest in the calcium
arsenate poisoning plan. fostered here
by the First National Bank. Many
farmers are planning to use both
