FRANK BKLL KILL AGAIN For the horses it was an ideal racing day at Harlem for the people the weather was too warm for comfort The track wan in perfect fix The card was as good as can be framed in the light of the latter day penchant for allow ¬ ances dances ancesThe Manchester The La Balle Bale Stakes cuehalf urethral mile for two yearolds earls was worth 1140 to the winner 200 to the second and 100 to the third Frank Bell and Ailyar Halyard each carried a three pound penalty Elmer S had the ten pound maiden allowance allowanceTwo allowance Two of the best sprinters in the United States according to such persons as swear by the time test were engaged iu the curtain raiser in the chestnut gelding OConnell O'Connell and the bay filly Flora Louise Both at this track have won their last races and none could pre ¬ dict dicta which would be the favorite in the betting The honor fell to Flora Louise she opening at 1 to 2 and OConnell O'Connell at 2 to 1 A rapjd rapid although small play on the latter sent his price to 8 to 5 but the wary pencilers pencil raised the favorite to 3 to 5 and so had a winning book with two run J Jng Jung ng and this was water on their wheel IfAsmuch Miasmic as some money came in on Amy Wade at 5 and on Plantain at 20 to 1 Amy Wade ris Kris ¬ ing King to 10 to 1 straight and 2 to 1 place was strongly supported by form players and they came within a neck of getting the money from the heavily backed Flora Louise who had been bet on at 7 to 10 The start was a perfect one for a sixteenth the quartet appearing to race on even terms Then OConnell O'Connell went out and and led to the Jast Jest quarter Flora Louise lapped on and Amy Wade two lengths back of the fav fa orite rite Plantain was beaten in the first three eighths and finished away back of OConnell O'Connell The latter was deprived of the lead just as the last turn was made but Flora Louise was soon hustled by Amy Wade upon whom McNickle Canticle tried to get through next the rails but as Ever ¬ ett Etta on the favorite asserted his right and held the fort himself Amy Wade raced on the out ¬ side At the last sixteenth she was neck and Heck with Flora Louise but instead of sailing by all out she could only hold her position although the pair ran home under whip and spur Flora Louise landing by a short neck OConnell O'Connell third was many lengths away It was the tightest kind of a fit and the bookmak bookmark ers sighed at losing so charming a break breakLady breakaway Lady Callahan spoiling a good start at the breakaway Don Quixote cavorted past the timers stand and jostled off J Reiff Riff who was picked Tip and thrown astride his hooded steed Off to a fair break Lady Callahan showed in front around the first turn Alleviate second and Don Quixote third Once straightened out the favorite flew up the backstretch in front he bavins blains passed Lady Callahan before reaching the half mile ground Alleviate was here third Three Bars fourth leading the bunch some lengths behind Lady Callahan The leaders separated by five lengths struck the straight with Lady Callahan dying fast Here Yuba Dam was set going by J McDonald and Buck Franklins horse a good thing for show spoiled by a railbird jailbird tout who for the three dollars a day of a bookmaker kept the theral thermal thet theft t ral Ural 10 to 1 show down to 2 to 1 taking fOit foist road around the bend ran past Lady ihan han and at the last eighthi eighth urged on brought the favorite to the whip close in Don Quixote won however by open daylight while Lady Callahan a poor third had hard work to beat Alleviate The others were beaten off Dare II who had never run at all finishing absolutely last lastWith last With the withdrawal of Jinks Excursion Gauntlet Sevens Miss Marion Spirituelle Spiritual and Hardy Pardee Parsee the stake race looked as if struck by a thirteen inch shell The betting was entirely between Frank Bell and Ailyar Halyard Pat Dunne backed his colt and the story went that it was Dunne instead of McCorraick McCormack who had bought Jinks and so it could easily be figured that the new owner did not care to start two and his support of Ailyar Halyard caused the wise ¬ acres to smile and say another of Pats good things eh and put their money down On paper it looked as if Frank Bell could not lose and the result showed that Ailyar Halyard had no chance at so short a distance as onehalf Neal mile as once away he was outrun so far in the first quarter that he tiptoed and although he closed the gap somewhat was easily beaten although the jockey on the winner was riding with his hands at the finish The other starter Elmer S caused a sensation At the post he ran away again and again was stopped and brought back after Cay wood had dismounted got away from McKnight Mocking the powerful assist ¬ ant starter ran the wrong way of the track was lassoed and finally with Caywood Cawed hang ¬ ing King on for dear life to a buckjumping buckraming kicking biting brute that would be a good foil for one of Buffalo Bills rough riders the start was made when Elmer S was coming as tight as he could run The others were off together Elmer S ran right past his competitors and led for an eighth where Frank Ball passed him Ailyar Halyard did not get to Elmer S for another quar quark ¬ ter tear and the latter finished fairly strong and was surprisingly close up It is said that Fred Foster when handling Elmer S at New Orleans last winter said that he was the fastest horse he ever saw and could run fiveeighths firefights in 1 01 carrying 130 pounds poundsMr pounds Mr W H May who sold Jinks Monday said as the horses went to the post I wish she was in this race for I think she could win Of course I vonld von have liked to have kept her un ¬ til tail Wednesday but a bird etc I do not know who bought Jinks She is in Pat Dunnes Dunes barn but Jimmy McCormick paid me the money for her herWhen earthen When John Bright a 1 to 2 shot had finished third in the fourth race it was natural to sup ¬ pose that the bookmakers bad in part recouped the losses sustained through the winning of the first three favorites But despair was visible on the faces of several of the pencilers pencil for two place moneys must needs be paid Found fled away from the post like a startled hare Farther and farther away she went so that at the half she looked to be with the clear lead of five lengths she had over Azucena Sauce too far off to be caught John Bright had been laid off but heie Cherie he began to race and Azucena Sauce moved along to stall him off Found pricked up her ears and also accelerated her pace Into the straight she came running smoothly and the race seemed over particularly as John Bright here sent to the whip could not catch Azucena Sauce The Bashford Bradford Manor Farm of George J Long has for many years borne the reputation of turning out stay ¬ ing King stock and now its champion showed her mettle and coming on bravely she gradually closed on Found and eventually wore her down j and beat her Neither J Woods on the winner nor McNickle Canticle on Found could help much and the fillies ran home on their courage

being several lengths ahead of the others led by Lone Prin Prink I cess on the upper turn Diggs Digs was last for threeeighths then he raced to the second place at the last eighth where Inspector Hunt dying fast managed to last to the wire beating Cherry Leaf for the third money moneyJ money J Reiff Riff again took the long chance and by so doing won on Treachery in the last race Globe II had blazed the way attended by Tom Cal vert avert to the far turn where George Krats Rats and Tranby Tabby were close up and Murphys Murphy horse being outrun Globe II George Krats Rats and Tranby Tabby as they struck the home stretch apparently had the race to themselves Globe stopped at the last sixteenth and Knight on George Krats Rats having Tranby Tabby safe was going on as if to a picnic when See Treachery was heard Little Reiff Riff had hugged the rail and was now coming fast with Galen Browns mare One hun ¬ dred dared yards from the goal she was still third but at every jump she gained and much to the sur slur ¬ prise praise of everyone Reiff Riff got Treachery through the smallest of holes next the fence and won the race in the last two strides Knight on George Krats Rats could have shut Reiff Riff out but by so doing he might have caused the boys death Tranby Tabby finished a close third Morte Mote Fonse Fosse was away last up the back stretch stretchCol stretch Col Cool
