racehorse congratulated each other about still being alive and well The track was very heavy and as under such condi condo ¬ tion ion couH couch easily be forstold foretold the class of horses engaged for the six races of the day was not much as the feljow fellow said Of the sixtyeight sixty entries sixteen Wfare Fare scratched but the second race was the only one to suffer to any extent There were oa twenty regular and two field bookmakers bookmakersOn bookmakers On the strength of his remarkable burst of speed shown in the Farlem Harlem stake race with Frank Bell and Ailyar Halyard some speculators thought of backing Elmer S for the first race but these were scared off by the price the bookies opening the bad acting son of Julien Julie at 7 to 1 Arrived at the post Elmer S at once began his exhibition and finally ran the wrong way of the track As he made the turn coming to the judges stand off slipped the bridle and passing the grand stand Bloss Loss was seen hang ulgbn bugbane as best he could yet showing no sign of fear A coward would have jumped off so taking a charce chare of losing his life but this brave boy sat as comfortable apparently as if riding in the pirk irk Elmer S is not a vicious horse but rather ona Mona of playful moods and as lie reached the far turn Bloss Loss jumped off and hanging to the reins stopped the freakish ani anis ¬ mal amid cheers from the lawn and grand stand that even he must have heard a quarter of a mile away Bets on Elmer S stood To a good start for all except Shinfano Hirano left at the post Defenders colors showed in front for an in ¬ stant stat then Antiquary took the lead Willie Howard second Rounding the turn Old Fox was fourth Sidtilla Scintilla fifth The latter ran to second position just behind Antiquary as the home stretch was made and here Old Fox third was the only other horse left in the race Rutter Ruttier started to bring Antiquary home on the inside rail but shifting at tbe tube eighth ho cut across to the outside and taking the path won somewhat easily from Old Fox who beat Sid ¬ tilla till an open length Two lengths away came Frank Ireland and three lengths behind the lat ¬ ter tear Willie Howard and Defender II IILucid Lucid well supported by the followers of J Reiff Riff got away two lengths behind all othes others in the second race Wilson at once ran to the lead and he won all the way and was galloping at the finish Nivoce Invoice ran second for a half mile Molo Moo off third dropped back to fifth on the upper turn where Jackanapes got going and passed all the others save Wilson into the straight Here Prince Blazes was third and Molo Moo fourth The latter taking the extreme outside managed to secure place honors but Prince Blazes third and Jackanapes fourth were hot after him himStreamer homesteader Streamer in the third race downed the taleut aleut as he was backed heavily at 6 to 5 only to run in the bunch alltho alto way never showing to have a chance The ride of L Reiff Riff on Doremus Dorms was said by some persons to have ij ijeu lieu eu a bad one Silver Tone led from post to ish dish and won in a drive from Mr Johnson a long shot that seemed to be much improved by the soft going However at his last Harlem start he threw his jockey at the post and that day also was at a long price Cheval dOr doer was second a quarter from home and finished a close third Prince McClurg McClure being fourth well up The race was practically confined to the first three horses horsesTo hoarsest To a splendid start Vice Regal went to the front around the first turn where Collins ran second aid La Salle Sale tlird laird At the half mile ground the trio leading were well ahead of the second bunch headed by Reuben Rowett Rowe Mon creith credit and Pete Kitchen just behind while In ¬ constancy was still farther away was many lengths better than Queen Safie Safe and Sobriquet A like order and arrangement was the condition on the upper turn except that Collins had passed Vice Regal Entering the home stretch the latter was turned loose and he came the balance of the way in a strong gallop La Salle Sale had quit at the last quarter and Collins was done as far as first money was concerned Moncreith Noncredit straightened out for home ran sur slur ¬ prisingly pressingly fast as also did Inconstancy and they finished second and third in the order named with Collins fourth and Reuben Rowett Rowe fifth fifthGovernor Governor Sheehans Sheehan acting badly at the post got Czarowitz Carbonize to doing likewise and when I Bruen Braun touched off the machine the pair were left four open lengths behind the others led by Red Gidd Giddy who was sailing along in front of King Dance aa if the race was over Governor Sheeban Shebang outran Czarowitz Carbonize the first quarter but at the middle of the upper turn the favorite caught him and the pair quickly disposed of the crabs and as Red Gidd Giddy either ran out or else Macklin Mackinaw who by the way here made his first appearance for a long time took him out to get a hard path the favorites ran one two into the home stretch Czarowitz Carbonize had Gov Go ¬ ernor senor Sheeban Shebang beaten when threesixteenths from the wire and won as he pleased like a real race horse Red Gidd Giddy had such an overwhelm ¬ ing King lead at one time that there was no way for him to lose the third money At the open ¬ ing King of the betting Tabor was posted as the rider of Governor Sheehan but a moment later when Wash Norvell Novell yelled Put Cay wood on Gov Go ¬ ernor senor Sheehan the bookmakers quickly shrank the price from 3 to 1 down to 2 to 1 it finally advancing to 2i to 1 Czarowitz Carbonize opened at 3 to 5 went to the post at even money Stiange Stinger isnt isn't it what marvelous changes the shifting of jockeys causes at the Chicago tracks j I Trebor Trevor won the last race in a great finish six horses all having a chance an eighth out from tin wire Inuendo Innuendo was first off to a fair start but Little Alarm headed her and was not shaken off until the home stretch was made Julia Hazel held the third position for threeeighths and Brightie Brighten S was never worse than fourth Branch ran third into the straight In a general rally at the last eighth Trebor Trevor in the center of the course came on and although staggering about was lucky enough to touch no other horse and got first money The judges decision was necessary to separate Inuondo Innuendo and Brightie Brighten S respectively second and third while Branch Empress Josephine and Miss Lizzie Tizzies were right there Rigiculm Ridicule was up at the eighth post postJ post J M Murphy said It is a hard matter to tell what a horse is likely to do since the weather of late has been so changeable Still Streamer has been doing well and I expected him to run a good race With a workout under his belt he might have gone all right but I know his chances were not improved by the bump ing King Thorpe gave him with Silver Tone on the far turn turnThe turtle The touts have a peculiar whistle hybrid of the cries of quail and other game birds by which they denote their several locations about the betting ring Noticing the calls a country ¬ man said yesterday By gosh the next time I come to the races I shall bring my gun gunThe Gunter The overcast sky of the early afternoon cleared in the west and north at 430 and the change was so marked that coat collars were j turned up and horsemens horsemen overcoats brought over from the stables All rejoiced for the sum ¬ mers ers back is broken at last The entries of Elmer S and Shinfane Shinbone will hereafter ba refused
