PEARL WALKERS MISFORTUNE The races at Harlem yesterday were run over a course that was dry and rough on the outside and dry on the surface but yielding on the in ¬ side Horses having inside positions at the start had the worst of the going In the second race the winner finished near the inside In every other finish the winner was close to the judges stand The only mile race on the card was run in 1 47i Three quarters were covered in the second race in 1 17i 17iFoxnette Foxnette Fondest the favorite for the first race got away well on the inside She had the worst of the footing and in an eighth of a mile was beaten probably because she was not so good as rated Half way around the turn Mazie Maze V took a clear lead Mazie Maze O off next to last on the outside ran around the field and landed in second position before reaching the stretch Clawson Lawson had her straight pointing for home At the south end of the stand he caught Mazie Maze V The latter rallied briefly and then surrend

althea The second race was an extremely unsatisfac unsatisfactory ¬ tory one King Bermuda was the opening and Pearl Walker the post favorite Pearl was strongly backed She was beaten by the flag Her backers were sore and ugly in expression after the race Some blamed Starter Dwyor Dwyer Others blamed Clawson Lawson for accepting the start King Bermuda got away with the track but quickly surrendered it to Nellie Baker who had it to the end Off a bad last Clawson Lawson rode the best race he has yet ridden here He sat per j fectly featly still until coming around the turn Pearl gradually moved up getting into the stretch third Below the furlong post Pearl challenged for the lead Nellie Baker shook her off Pearl came again a hundred yards from the finish aud Maud then weakened Nellie Baker had some ¬ thing left and won cleverly ASked about the start Clawson Lawson said What else could I have done She wouldnt wouldn't turn round I was back there she happened to turn up went the gate and down went the flag Thats Hats the only way they could have beaten me Its the only time this year that I have got off that way wayTony Watson Tony Licalzi Laical furnished the favorite and win ¬ ner near of the third race It was but a romp for Al Fresco La Salle Sale cut out the work Al Fresco and Locust Blossom closed with him on the back stretch At the half he drew out again and led around the turn Then Al Fresco and Locust Blossom passed him and the result was never afterward in doubt doubtThe doubt The Proviso stakes furnished the surprise of the day Pearl Barnes was an almost pro ¬ hibitive hobbit favorite and Sevens was also at odds on for the place The bad track had interfered with the proper preparation of the starters and nobody could estimate their respective chances with any degree of accuracy Boney Bony Boy was lightly considered The Kentuckian and Arthur McKnight Mocking despised When it came to racing The Kentuckian was away the quickest Pearl Barnes wrested the lead from him in a short spin and led into the stretch But she could mot get away from the Kentuckian and when Clawson Lawson sent the colt after her she stopped The finish was between The Kentuckian and Boney Bony Boy with the others straggling stragglingHeats straggling Heats of five furlongs provided a departure from the usual dash racings tracings Three heats were run to decide the purse Alabaster was a 1 to 2 shot before the first heat Miss Casey Come Quick and the favorite were abreast at the end of half a mile of the first heat Miss Casey won The favorite was third and seemed to be decisively beaten The only repeater however was Alabaster and he won the next two heats easily The final heat was settled in the first furlong furlongGood furlong Good Friend was 1 to 2 in the betting for the last race She won but as if the odds were right The finish was warm and between the first four horses Roger B came from nowhere and was a keen fourth fourthW
