crossed the wire and David Tennys Tennyson number went up there was raised a storm of cheers and the handclapping handicapping from the grandstand was general for the combina combine ¬ tion ion of Pat Dunne and J Reiff Riff was a strong one and the small bettors were down to a man CONTINUED ON SECOND PAGE RESULTS AT HARLEM Continued from 1st Page V as shown by the shrinkage in price at the post But Butv But v to the storm of applause succeeded an ominous calm There was a hurrying to the judges stand and an excited mob roared Fervor Colonel Clark rang his bell much quicker than usual and Sweeney Serenely ran to the betting ring where he yelled David Tenny Teeny first Fervor second Cant Dance third Now broke out in the vicinity of Colonel Clark such cries as reminded one of the old days of Chicago racing such as Robbery Get a rope Thief etc etc but as usual the tumult quieted and the muttering the balance of the afternoon was the last of what seemed at one time a serious matter The horses got off well together but as Cant Dance hugged the pole he gained many lengths at the first turn and led at the quarter Here David Tenny Teeny picked him up and soon went to the front All of the horses ran in a bunch at the half mile ground except Storm King already out of it At the turn into the home stretch Roach took Dr Sheppard so wide that the chance of Fos UFOs ¬ ters tears horse was destroyed At the last eighth Reiff Riff began to work hard on David Tenny Teeny and as Fervor came alongside at the last sixteenth the midget whipped Dunnes Dunes horse so hard that he began to swerve in toward the inside rail Now the two horses were nearly abreast and Holden Olden on Fervor was holding his mounts head high in air and not using the whip A great finish between the pair and the decision as rendered The presiding judge of a race track isjsupposed to know best how the horses should be placed and Col Cool Clark was certainly in the place best calculated to measure the dis dais ¬ tances stances between the horses David Tenny Teeny fin ishedlclose shells in under the timers stand while Fervor was if anything further out than the center of the track Cant Dance beat Dr Sheppard for third money When Roach was posted as Dr Sheppards Sheppard jockey the inquiry was general Who is he No one could say until a man was found who said Roach had riddeu ride Abuse one day last spring and got the horse beaten Yesterday he certaiLly certainly put up a miserable ride on Dr Sheppard against whom one bookmaker laid 1 to 5 to show showJinks showings Jinks a 1 to 5 shot won the last race away off although getting away third at the start Cheval dOr doer off second was soon outrun and finished fourth Silver Tone looked to have the place won at the turn for home but W

Chaplin Gores and the Palmer House Now really I havent haven't stated my plans to any re ¬ porter in fact I do not yet know what I shall do next winter My contract with Burns Waterhouse Warehouse does not expire until November 1 next and I can remain with them if I wish These gentlemen however I agree with as to theiricutting terminating down expenses They won with their stable 54000 last winter in
