second at Brighton Beach She is a good looking daughter of Prophecy well re ¬ membered member hereabouts hereaboutsSigns hereabouts Signs of the betting ring tended toward the conviction that Mary Black would have a hard race and ou the strength of a strong play on Timemaker Tidemark the price of E Wishards Wishers entry advanced from 4 to 5 to even money although the 12 and 5 place and show against Sef Self ton told the tale that the stable bad only one string to its bow A good start for all but Sefton Seton practi practice ¬ cally calmly left he finished pulled up an eighth out paired with Sun Bonnet and Belle of Memphis shot out and for an instant led Mary Black Timemaker Tidemark being third and Verify fourth The favorite had no difficulty in gaining the lead and there she staid all the way Belle of Mem Memo ¬ phis Aphis always second beat Timemaker Tidemark three open lengths and Verify fourth beat Richard J Aiary Airy Black was never in trouble although Belle of Memphis finished at her tail Johnny Reiil Reiji took it so calmly through the last sixteenth that he never even deigned to look at the con ¬ tender but whiled away his time by studying natural history through observation of a grass ¬ hopper that in a half frozen condition had pinned himself on Mary Blacks bridle bridleNow bridle Now came the handicap and the Australian bookmaker started the ball with the yell Heres Hermes 3 to 1 take your pick Come and get it and immediately the public jumped on the kangaroos neck with large and small money watered on David Tenny Teeny Thorpe was on the Dunne entry and when one is guessing he usu us ¬ ally lights on Pat Dunnes Dunes horse much as he would lead trumps at whisl whisk So David Tenny Teeny became the post favorite at 24 to 1 The race was a great betting one and the result proved that the public appreciates the work of a good work of a haudicapper handicapper as at the finish tLe tale last iorse Morse was close up At the start Fervor made some kind of a bobble and faltered but Hoi den quickly got him going so that entering the back stretch he was only two open lengths behind the bunch On the first turn H bump caused Cherry Leaf to fall back and now he was two lengths behind Fervor Afamada Alameda led to the straight Found and Plantain alternat alternate ¬ ing King in the second and third positions David Teunj Ten was fourth around the upper turn As the leaders swung around the last bend no one ev r saw such a close bunch i f eight uuiscs Suisse Even Cherry Leaf and Fervor had joined the band and it was com ¬ pany panky front threesixteenths from the goal Holden Olden had hugged the rail with Fervor all the way and at the final sixteenth his horse running strongly looked to be winning when on the extreme outside was seen the red and white sash black cap of Tom Berry and like a flash Cherry Leaf had collared Fervor Racing home locked Cherry Leaf gained the verdict yet so close was the finish that no one ventured an opinion as to which horse had won but patiently waited for the number togo up Yet when the winner was announced there was no shout of disapproval Storm King David Tenny Teeny and Plantain ran such a finish that here too the judges decision was necessary to de ¬ cide chide the question of third place Taken all around there never was a better handicap run in Chicago And it had a sensational after ¬ math for J Reiff Riff could not stop Cherry Leaf and the winner ran again around the course and to the first turn past the judges stand bafore afore the boy could stop him himTom Hinton Tom Calvert Culvert surprised the bookmakers by winning the fourth race The horse had been opened at 24 to 1 by Marcus Cartwright Cartridge and the 9 to 1 straight and 34 to 1 place obtainable at the post tells the story of the pencilers pencil thoughts Official led up the backstretch then Gray allowed Reuben Rowott Root to lead the favor ¬ ite bite for a time but Official took command again at the turn for home and although hard rid ¬ den looked to be winning close in when Tom Calvert Culvert always kept well up in third and fourth positions by McNickle Canticle came on strongly and won with something

a sixteenth out Inconstancy did not run as well as was expected A great day of racing was spoiled through the execrable start in the fifth race by which T C McDowells McDowell grand filly Rush was left at the post not quita quit standing still but so tangled up that at once she was out of the race Rush had acted badly at ihe he post but so had several of the otheis theirs It was an unfortunate

quickly outrun by Ailyar Halyard That she died away at the finish and was beaten for the place by Espion Epsilon ¬ age is only in line with the fears of her owner that she was a trifle short Ailyar
