LONG SHOTS AT HAWTHORNE As the Irishman would say it was a soft day at Hawthorne The overcast sky of noou noun turned loose a mist which when the horses were at the post for the first race changed to a drizz drizzle ¬ ling rain But the attendance was the average one and eighteen regular and two field book ¬ makers were kept busy The track was good as tLe tale rain soaked it nicely without placing uoon upon the surface a sheet of water The wind fresh ¬ ened denned from a gentle breeze to one that would have sent a schooner yacht flying and umbrellas overcoats and wraps were handy articles to have haveAch halvah Ach Bach delayed the start for the opening race but finally Thorpe came from behind with a bulge and Ach Bach led the pack after passing Native Sonto Onto the last 150 yards where he stopped dead as did also Native Son who had tagged him all the way Ganace Glance in the middle of the bunch on the turn was repeatedly bumped in the home stretch but at the last eighth McNickle Canticle found a hole near the inside jpjiJ and dodging across the track he brought the favorite homo the winner in a drive from Mr Johnson who was lucky to beat Doremus Dorms a colt that made a strong bid in the last few strides stridesOld strides Old Abuse the winner of many consecutive races acted upon the entries for the second race like a swan among a flock of ducks and of the number of owners represented on the card eleven out of seventeen declined the issue of a battle with the crack sprinter of Foster Bros Brows The others might as well have kept their horses in the barn as far as the first money wascon Watson cerned corned as Abuse went to the front with a mar ¬ velous villous burst of speed as Bruen Braun touched off his machine and Mary Black try as she would Culd Could never catch him although she finished close up and forced the favorite to mark 1 141 upon the watch Still Abuse was hard held all the way by Bloss Loss Belle of Memphis finished well up to Mary Black after making the back stretch in the rear division Sorrow also ran a go d race which can not be said of the others wLo Lo were beaten away off offAgain offering Again did Harry Kuhl Kohl in a handicap having eight starters furnish an adjustment of weights so equitable that the betting opened 3 to 1 take your pick Dr Sheppard David Tenny Teeny and Cherry Leaf Soon the first and last named went up but Lucky Alphonse Alphorns kept bis bias hold and landed the post favorite at 13 to 5 Between the second and third races a heavy shower had rendered the track heavy and the play on the handicap was general the public settling on Her Favor carrying the popular J Rein0 An unfortunate start left Her Favor standing still at the post much to the disgust of many high rollers notably Red Doc who had S OO on John Rodegaps Bodegas unlucky filly Plan ¬ tain stain at once went to the front and throughout led the band until the last few strides where Candelaria Candelabra came from the rear Seaton Eaton Vir Vr ¬ ginia gina Bradleys Bradley stable boy on Plantain prob probe ¬ ably thought he had the race won and was not watching the rail along which J McDonald rought brought the winner and so got nipped and V first past the judges by a head only The DiTrmuring Distrusting in the grand stand occasioned by the accident to Her Favor precluded any idea of a general interest in even so fine a finish but the contest was worth going miles to see Dr Sheppard and David Tenny Teeny were closely behind Plantain until the homestretch was made wh = re the Doctor cried Peccavi Peccaries and Cherry Leaf took his place The favorite and the last t ai ad ij orse Morse were en nearly even terms with Pian Apian am at the final sixteenth but both here cracksd cracks and Bradleys Bradley long shot was finishing LIB ss when Candelaria Candelabra came up Can dolaria solaria was behind the bunch with his head high in air and only Parole dOr doer who never bad a chance farther back as the half mile

heavily backed by the public but it is doubtful whether the Dunne following lost on the filly by Troubadour out of Mona as smart men would naturally j stay off at so short a price as the 7 to 5
