Der 12.-Outlaw, a 5-year-old bay
steeplechaser that was sired by Sir GAL
lshad, Sd, in the same year as the ia
nous Gallant Fox, won tie second an
nual running of the Llangollen open
steeplechase, on the John Hay Whitney
estate here today.

$4,000 to his owner, Mrs. Marshall
Field, and placed in her possession for
the next year the Llangollen gold cup,
presented by Mrs. Payne Whitney
Mrs. Allen Potts game Chestnut Ber-
rDldon Flash finished the 3-mile brush
course in front of Outlaw, but was dis
qualified for impeding the ultimate Win
ner near the finish. H. Murdock, who
apparently best in the field, claimed
Berrilldon Flash pulled over despite his
efforts and interfered with Mr.. Nc
Kinney, on Outlaw, in trying to find
solid footing in the quagmire turf His
defense was not allowed, ard Outlaw
moved into first place, Mrs. George
Atwell, jr.'S. Huffy into second, and
Mrs. John HAy Whitney's Spar in third.
5000 Spectators Attend.
The feature race of the day climaxed
q series OF sour events that furnished
sport and spills for the entertainment
OF some 5000 wind-bloWn spectators
who thronged the high knobs Of Jock

Malcolm McGiffin's reliable Stonedale
repeated his 1881 victory in the Pied
mont Gold Cup, the days opener, win
ming by 15~ lengths breezing, after the
other starters. James Ryan brought the
aged chestnut home in easy fashion,
with Campbell Weir'S Kahler, William
Street,, up, second, and the highly re-
garded Fugitive, owned by Mrs. T. w.
Durant, tagging third. Five faced the
barrier in this event, and Of the other
two one fell and the second was
pulled up.
Riders returning from the first round
of the Aiken fences brought news Of
ankle-deep mud and nasty going at the
take-offs. Few were surprised. there

of the afternoon. Edward H. B. Allen
of Philadelphia was the first to go
down, when Mrs j. H. Whitney's Lieut..

q mean header after running almost
sideways into the jump. Scarcely had

Frost Gets Victory.
Charlie Castleman and T. Frost, who
had the leg up on the two horses left
running in the test, made real race
of It from that point until Castleman's
tiring mount tried to turn out at the
last Jump and left the way clear to VIC
tory for Frost on 3. OF. Randolph's
Iipan Lad.
Eleven Of the best steeplechasers in
training went to the post in the Liam
gollen speciality, which, unlike the other
races. allowed this year professional as
well as amateur riders.
From the moment the Substituted
Jockeys broke their mounts before the
eyes Of the field judges until the six
survivors passed the last line it was q
front-running contest between BerTill-
don Flash and Hilf1y. The former
rushed to the front at the start, and
held O careful lead on Huffy until they
had almost completed an entire round
of the course. Then Thorndike took
Huffy forward, Hunt brought the Whit
ney's Spar In to separate the first lead
ers and the decision appeared TO rest
neither here nor there.
Berrilldon Flash, with stout courage,

again, ard the pace hit clip that was
dropping the faint-hearted at every
fence. Mrs. r. M. Gould's Daniel SCOT
spilled Sessa, Harraway was thrown
from F. Ambrose Clark's Louis Dor and
received the worst injuries of the day,
Price Mckinney was kicked in the face
as his own Portrait tumbled and Gipsy
King, I'd. and Watsonia we're out OF 1t.
Outlaw Comes Forward.
Huffy hit full stride as the forerun-
ners swung into the last three-quarters
of mile and went away In impressive
fashion before the field reached the final
: jumps. At this point Outlaw, which
{ Rigan Mckinney had laid back COM
sfortably OF the pace, came from no
kwhere 70 join the chief contenders and
shortly thereafter met with the inter-
ference wlxich gave him the race by
forfeit.
Thorndike apparently had misjudged
his opposition, for Huffy tired and lost
the money place as the three turned
into the stretch. Both Berrilldon
Flash and Outlaw galloped by before
they broke the tape.
James Ryan on Bachelors Drake and
Randy Duffy on Bandit ran at even
weights and matched stride for stride
during the early phases of the fourth
race, the two-and-one-half- Blue
Riband Chase, but Duffy had only to
let out notch at the end to win easy.
Ryan took his mount forward as they
broke, while Duffy put the smooth
running Bandit In place q short way
back and hung on to the leader like a
1eech.
The two never were seriously chal-
1enged throughout the route, and Duffy
finally came away at will to win the cup
for Owner Augustus F. Goodwin. Bach
elor'S Drake was second and Hardie
Scott brought his own Lorenzo in third
far back. T. w. Durant's Special De-
livery was the only one to fall in this
event, and his rider was not seriously
hurt.
The day ended with an amusing mule
Faca.
