AGAIN AT HAWTHORNE At Hawthorne yesterday it was simply aston ¬ ishing dishing to see how many persons attended the racecourse to witness the running off of a medi media ¬ ocre ochre card comprised of six races one of which was a steeplechase over the short course The jumping race was easily the star event of the day although horses of some class contested the second and third races The sun came out about midday and its rays set everything asteaming steaming The track was wet and deep but the footing was fairly good The horses having been entered when a dry track was promised it is not surprising that the large number of twenty scratches obtained in a total of sixty five nominations nominationsIn nominations In the first race Pitfall at once took com ¬ mand Mandy and led all the way winning hard held from C H Whelan Wheelman who was never worse than third Overla Overlap nd ran fourth from the quarter to the last sixteenth where Majesta Majesty quit and gave the fiveyearold maiden third money Majesta Majesty ran second for threequarters treasurers Golden Rod and Treeby Trebly were just behind Overland at + JUialf Julia but were beaten off The horses ran in Indian file Lizzie Tizzies Miles being beaten an eighth and there was no semblance of a con ¬ test testThe testate The long price of 5 to 1 was posted at the opening of the betting against Mary Black and Satsuma was held at a like figure it being 3 to 1 against Lady Ellorslio Celosia Even money showed for an instant against Traverser Traverse but he went to the post at 7 to 10 while Mary Black settled at 74 to 1 The race was always between the pair Mary Black led a close bunch as the barrier aiose adipose but Traverser Traverse passed her at the first six ¬ teenth tenth He was here taken back by Bloss Loss and Mary Black led from this point to the wire winning by a neck Bloss Loss on the favorite seemed sure of the race as from two lengths behind at the head of the homestretch his horse was at the fillys fills saddle at the last eighth Here one could have thrown his hat into Traversers Traverses mouth and he looked a certain winner At the final sixteenth however he bore in as is his wont and Bloss Loss had hard work to keep him clear of Mary Black upon whom Lester Eeiff Eiffel was sit ¬ ting still A few rods farther along Traverser Traverse got to the others head but just then Eeiff Eiffel who had evidently been playing possum adminis admonish ¬ tered termed a well timed cut of the whip to which responding Wishards Wishers filly drew away and won in a close finish wherein possibly Traverser Traverse stopped a trifle It was a case of overconfi overconfident dence dance or worse on the part of Bloss Loss for had Traverser Traverse been sent along early in the race he must have won Lady Ellerslie Wellesley was third to the last few strides Satsuma there heading her The others were beaten away off offDeparting offspring Departing from the track rule the judges allowed the third race to go with only three starters It transpired that the manager of Mr Schorrs Scorers horses had sent word to Randolph clerk of the scales to scratch Charley Christy but the official mistook the meaning of the message and thought it referred to scratching for the handicap of Tuesday The horse had bean fed before the mistake was discovered and leing ling close to the time set for the race Mr start Charley Christy if so ordered but that the horse would be sure to run badly So the pre ¬ siding judge excused him If started Charley Chribty Charity would have been at a long price and could hardly have lost even with a full stomach for the race fell to the rank outsider Lucid who was beaten by so inferior an animal as Treeby Trebly at his last start Johnny Campbells Campbell Senator Bland was a cinch according to all form it being maintained that he had covered in Cali Ali ¬ fornia Formica 1 14 miles in 207 on a heavy track and he was a 11 to 20 shot Treachery standing at 9 to 5 The latter was never in the hunt Lucid shooting off in front by some lengths Senator Bland picked him up on the far turn and Its all over went up when the favorite reached the home turn two lengths to the good All at once Senator Bland weakened and Lucid pegging away was leading at the last eighth from which point he galloped home beating Senator Bland several lengths

extremely heavy going on the inside Chancery and Our Nellie alternated in second and third positions both being well up to Ostra Rostra to the last quarter where Our Nellie began to stop and was beaten out by Shinfane Shinbone Chancery looked all over a winner at the betting ring but instead of coming outside of Ostra Rostra his rider took him to the rail and although struggling along gamely

never started either on the flat or over the sticks It was consid consider ¬ ered erred a joke that his name had been changed from Loma Loa to Schreiber and 4 to 1 appeared against his name which price rapidly rose to 6 to 1 Now all kinds of money poured into the ring and as the rumor blew Pat Dunne has bet 200 rubbers were in great demand although the oldtime oldie bookmakers laughed at the idea of Mr Corrigans Corrigan nephew getting down so hard on a jumping race But when the owner backed his horse both ways with Barney Schreiber saying Hes Hess a very fair jumper the sport for whom the horse was renamed put his own money on straight and 2 to 1 was the post price At the start delayed by the tighten ¬ ing King of Uncle Jims Jim saddle Nobilis Mobiles wheeled as the flag fell and

opposite the grand stand Schreiber was six lengths better than Troil Roil and the others were away back Running like a scared deer the leader retained his advantage across the back field but Troil Roil closed ground on the last turn and his backers shouted Schreiber is quitting Ellison on the latter steadied his mount and set sail for home four lengths to the good passing the last fence The
