RACING AT HAWTHORNE HAWTHORNEHawthorne Hawthorne Hawthorne racing was scarcely out of the or ¬ dinary diary A pleasing innovation was the stretch ¬ ing King out of the distance for twoyearolds toeholds the first race being run at threequarters treasurers of a mile as also the conditions by which the youngsters were forced to carry somewhere near weight for age The daj dj was a perfect one with its clear sky and gentle breezes The attendance was the average one The feature of the day was the fine form shown by Hugh Penny in win ¬ ning Ming from Imp and the others in a common gallop He could have beaten Imp seventyfive seventy yards and is most likely just at present the best handicap horse in the west westFor west For the first race there was the usual num numb ¬ ber beer of good things First it was Merops Metros for some remembered her performance at Washing ¬ ton Park then Prince Dudley was talked of he being said to be nearly as good as Hardy Par dee in the same stable but finally the right royal tip cauie curie Capsicum sure and this colt carrying the orange of John Rodegap Bodega although Veiling in the name of T W Moore was backed so strongly from 10 to 1 down that some of the weakkneed weakened of the sixteen regular book ¬ makers of the day had only 3 to 1 posted at the close of the betting while 5 to 1 was his best price Blue Lick was bet on by the facetious one of whom remarked He will cause a whole lot of running Rio Ghico Hickory was off in front to a well bunched start although considerable jostling knocked four horses out of it at once one of these being Capsicum Rio Chico Chic set a hot pace and was not caught until a half mile had been covered where Harry Nutter Mutter tagged him close and when ready ran over him win ¬ ning Ming by several lengths In a hard drive Numa Neumann eat Capsicum who ran an extraordinary race but was disqualified Capsicum given place honors and the third money handed to the owner of Lurdan Laura who finished lengths behind Capsicum and just beat Rio Chico Chic The others were well back The judges said that Numa Neumann bumped Capsicum close to the wire and that he had interfered with several horses in the run through the home stretch Conley Coney who rode Capsicum entered complaint but this was un Bruen Braun showed a nice bit of management in getting Sutton away with the others This horse had danced sideways to the post where lauding Tie acted badly Bruen Braun had Thorpe stand two lengths away from the barrier with his horses head turned the wrong way then lining up the other horses the starter gave his assistant a signal whereupon Sutton was wheeled around and fairly thrown into his stride so that the seven starters were nearly abreast after two jumps on the journey But ¬ ton soon took the lead and was never in trouble Although hurried along at the last eighth he swerved slightly Borden ran alongside of Sut Shut ¬ ton to the last turn where Friar John took bis bias place and Tranby Tabby was about as good as tho thou next La Princessa Princess well up until now here shut up as did Borden Friar John won tho thou place easily while W C T finishing strongly jeat eat Tranby Tabby for third money Lucid kicked La Princessa Princess at tho thou post postIn posting In the third race Eugenia Wickes Wickets acted strangely at the post and not caring to break was off badly in the rear position She at once ran to Imp and passed to the leaa lea as the back stretch was made Hugh Penny ran third close up at the half where Buckv Buck idere cider was four lengths behind the favorite and David six lengths farther back Around the upper turn Imp was seen to have Eugenia Wickes Wickets safe but as the leaders turned for home Thorpe took Hugh Penny in nsxt nest the rails the track is agam agama dry and hard and in a sixteenth thorace thoraces was over Imp stopped at the eighth post and Hugh Penny finished alone David got up in time to secure third money moneyCandelaria moneychanger Candelaria Candelabra was in such bad company that it didnt didn't look possible for him to lose Thorpe set him agoing going after threequarters treasurers had been run and the favorite passing all the others allowed Organ Pilot to lead on sufferance to the last hundred yards and then lying alongside the long shot beat him at the wire from the shoulders out amid the din occasioned by the clamor of the women in the grand stand who always have a bet on J Reiff Riff and wildly fancied that this crack bantam could lift Organ Pilot to the front It was a cruel thing this Mur Murk ¬ phy phys finish for Thorpe to do for he might have been arrested for causing a womans woman death by heart disease Serena had been left standing at the post The leaders the first fiveeighths firefights were Pete Kitchen who finally was beaten an eighth and pulled up on equal terms with Parole dOr doer who showed a flash of speed up the back stretch Organ Pilot and Croesus Cress but Organ Pilot here ran out in the lead and Candelaria Candelabra and Morte Mote Fonse Fosse were next with Moncreith Noncredit trailing Morte Mote Fonse Fosse finished third far back of the leaders and just ahead of Mon ¬ creith credit Ezells Bezels old horse had at one time stood at 20 8 3 and at these prices he was bet on by the owner and his party Serena galloped over the course courseThe corseted The fifth race was noticeable only because of the fifteen dogs carded all faced the starter Warren Point picked out from the first as the favorite ran second all the way to Tom Toher Other and when let down romped home a matter which demonstrated the class of those behind Tom Toher Other finished second and Idle Hour al ¬ ways in like position third No others were in sight except Amanda and Lucky Monday Cor Cora onatus Pontus threw his jockey Sheppard soon after leaving the post and ran twice around the track then stopping quite ready to go to bed Rutter Ruttier on Warren Point struck McNickleou Canticle Tom Toher Other with the whip at the head of the home stretch aud Maud was fined 23 and suspended for the meeting Rutter Ruttier admitted the assault but said it was justified by the crowding but Judge Raessaid Rasa We will do the punishing punishingFor punishing For the closing event it was 6 to 1 take your pick although Aid Careys Carneys polismans plainsman hoss hoses went favorite at thb tb finish at 41 to 1 Not this season has there been seen a race over which there was so much whispering in ttie tie ring and the good things were many One of these Elsie Bramble the property of W Ham got off in front and was not headed although given the persuaders at the last sixteenth by one Jockey Rose who must be credited with steady improvmeut improve in the saddle Elsie Bramble was backed from 15 down to 8 to 1 Millie M and Mistleton Mistletoe were left standing at the post Bishop Reed looked to be going nicely in second position a furlong out then he dropped into the bunch but so far from being beaten came on in the straight and ran third just behind the second horse Inspector Hunt Cherryfiame Cherry got off none too well or she mght might have won Her effort on the far turn proved too great and although she was second from the head of the homestretch to the last hundred yards she died away but finished close in behind Bishop Reed as did Bryan BryanRutter Bryan Rutter Ruttier said In the hurry and confusion I failed to state to Judge Reos Roes that I whipped McNickle Canticle for self protection The boy cut my boot with his spur and I feared further injury It is not the first time he has roughed me and I lost a race at Harlem through such work of his Other jockeys I think will testify to his CONTINUED ON SECOND PAGE RACING AT HAWTHORNE Continued from 1st Page
