THE FINISH AT HAWTHORNE HAWTHORNEHawthorne Hawthorne Hawthorne closed its gates for the season Saturday uight eight after its thirtysixth thirty day of racing That the sport is in healthy condition is manifest for 4000 persons attended the wind up of the meeting and there were on twenty bookmakers all but two of which were in the big ring Never before at Chicago has there boon so late in the year so many visiting horse ¬ men and sporting men of the better class and that such will continue their stay in the north during the next few weeks and be found at the Harlem track there is no doubt The day was a splendid one with cloudless sky cool air and little wind Thertrack Herrick was dry but very heavy The Autumn Handicap li miles for threeyear three olds and upwards worth 980 to the winner 200 to second and 100 to third was disappoint ¬ ing King as to the number of starters but the 2 to 1 take your pick Dare II Basquil Basque and Forte at which the betting opened presaged a fine contest Mr Corri Corrie ans Hans Sardonic was the out ¬ sider slider at 4 to 1 Cass Sloan sitting with leis dangling from the top of a box stall in the iftudock futtock during the Huffman sale had bought Dare II for 1450 He laughingly said I have no mount in the stake race today so Ill buy a horse and ride him myself John Huffman stipulated before the sale that he must have onehalf Neal the money Dare II might win in the Autumn Handicap and added There is ho fourth money Huffman had en ¬ gaged gagged Dupee Dupe to ride Dare II and the auction ¬ eer beer announced that the new owner would be ex ¬ pected petted to retain the black boy but as Cass rode his new purchase Dupee Dupe was up on Sar Sara ¬ donic conic Skeets Skeet Martin riding Forte and Hoth Hot ersall perusal Basquil Basque The latter supposed to have run away after finishing second in his last race was said to be in the finest possible fix as his covering the odd distance was only a workout Basquil Basque said his party is only a selling plater platter but there are no Hamburgs Hamburg in this stake race Basquil Basque was breezed a fast eighth in going to the post and this didnt didn't do him much good as cantered to the gate he might possibly have had enough left to have beaten Dare II at the finish Basquil Basque went out at flag fall and led Dare II two lengths Cass was here nipping his horse at the first half where Sardonic and Forte were four lengths away Around the turn and into the back stretch Forte was last and whipping Basquil Basque led by two lengths at the mile but here Dupee Dupe set Sardonic agoing going and Mr Corrigan who had just arrived at the course had the satisfaction of seeing his filly go to the front on the inside and Dupee Dupe saving all the ground possible Sar Sara ¬ donic conic galloped the balance of the way and won as she pleased Cass Sloan saved his horse for the homestretch and in a hard drive to the last eighth Dare II drew away and beat Bas ¬ quil quail an open length Forte was beaten off offDulac Dulac Unlace a 100 to 1 chance led Paul Griggs Rigs an even money favorite in the first race all the way but was beaten from the last eighth home by George Lee Paul Griggs Rigs finished third Chauncey Chancery Fisher fourth well up Banished was opposite the betting ring last of all the hon lf The winner as usual started slowlj slowly and was ten lengths behind the leaders up the back stretch Second Chance ran close to Paul Griggs Rigs for one half mile The gate needed grease As Bruen Braun touched it off the side next the outride fence did not go up and H Martin on Paul Griggs Rigs barely managed to duck and escape being hung hungMoutgomery Moutgomery Montgomery broke in front to a fair start for all except Farley Fairly and at once opened a gap leading Marzella Mazola second by ten lengths into the straight and galloping home alone Borden always third had a tight game of it with Mar ¬ zella ella for fiveeighths firefights Huffmans Huffman filly leading him to ibis point where dying off Borden won second place easily and Afamada Alameda coming strong just beat Marzella Mazola for the third money Euskin Ruskin finished fifth Babieca Barbican was again up at the sixteenth post Farley Fairly broke through the barrier on one occasion occasionEspionage occasions Espionage got the purse in the fourth race but Teutons Stetsons beat hef chef on the post by a head Espionage had gone out in front attended by Harry Nutter Mutter the last named being a close sec ¬ ond bond at the quarter where he began tq drop back and at the finish was a bad fourth being four lengths behind Judge Wofford Oxford who was fifteen lengths worse than Espionage and Teu Tau ¬ tons Judge Wofford Oxford headed Espionage at threeeighths but the favorite went on and at once opened a gap Be True was third at the half but soon died away On the upper turn Espionage was many lengths ahead of Judge Wofford Oxford he four lengths better than anything else All at once from away behind W Dean shot up Teutons Stetsons and Tom Barretts Barrettes son of Teuton Teutonic closed amazingly fast and into the homestretch had beaded Judge Wofford Oxford As Bloss Loss on the favorite had slowed down Ezells Bezels crack filly Teutons Stetsons got to her head at the final eighth and an instant later showed in front on the outside by a neck The horses were in the center of the track when Bloss Loss went to work and clear in to the wire it I was a grand struggle first the nose of the filly showing in front then that of the colt Pass ¬ ing King the judges Teutons Stetsons won on the nod The youngsters were now close to the inside rail and Bloss Loss was lucky that he wasnt wasn't thrown over the fence Teutons Stetsons number went up but a claim of foul being allowed that of Espion Epsilon ¬ age was substituted The foul was so apparent that but little dissatisfaction was expressed and this by the players of long shots persons naturally sore when joy is changed to despair Judge Wofford Oxford was placed second and Harry Nutter Mutter third The exhibition of the latter was frightful he at one start having run Survivor to a head Judge Wofford Oxford in the stable of Duke Wishard Wished was evidently a bottled up good thing The colt was backed from 75 down to 40 to 1 and paid post price 8 to 1 place 3 to 1 to show showThere smothered There never was such a jumping race run in the west as the Full Course Steeplechase won by the 4 to 5 favorite Master Fred Once in the east in tho thou old days there was a job and in order for tho thou favorite to win the jockeys of the other contestants either fell off their horses or sent them wrong and the race yesterday looked very like the same sort of thing as Master Fred was the only horse that did not meet with an accident Nobilis Mobiles had taken command to a good start for all except Bob Again a horse that balked at the second jump as didTeulada tideland and opened several lengths on Marble taking the water jump the first round ten lengths in front Marble ten lengths better than Master Fred At the seventh fence Marble had got to within three lengths of Nobilis Mobiles and Master Fred fif fief ¬ teen lengths away was many lengths ahead of Uncle Jim Colonist had bolted going around the first time but was working the course in the rear Across the water the second time Marble was leading Nobilis Mobiles by three lengths while Uncle Jim was nearing Master Fred Nobilis Mobiles fell over the next obstacle and away went Marble nearly a sixteenth of a mile ahead of Master Fred Around the far turn Marble seemed to be working alone but Master Fred was being caught by Uncle Jim It was apparently only a question of which of the last named pair would get the nlaco nalco moment later and Marble took the bjch Bach is located near the last turn The horse looked to jump fair and alight all right but instantly Ray rolled off In doing so he must have yanked the reins for Marble did not get more than twenty yards away before the jockey caught and remounted him Such a howl as arose from the thousands that saw Rays exhibition of horsemanship has never before been heard hereabouts Uncle Jim had crossed the last fence slightly in the lead of Master Fred and his backers were wild with joy and yelling like mad But again there was a shift for Desota Despot let Uncle Jim swerve and he ran outside the flags Stopped Uncle Jim was galloped back and as he was placed in the course along came Colon ¬ ist Kist and for an eighth of a mile made it doubt ¬ ful foul whether or not Uncle Jim would get third money When Marble fell and Uncle Jim ran out Master Fred galloped on and he finished twenty lengths better than Marble the winner being pulled to a walk Uncle Jim third was a like distance behind Marble and beat Colonist several lengths So ended a most remarkable steeplechase To complicate matters there is a probability that Master Fred under a strict ruling might have been disqualified as if he did not leap over the wing of the water jump the eye of the writer is at fault However the horses were placed as they finished and bets stand Canadian steeplechase owners have always been viewed with sus subs ¬ picion pinion that is such men as have raced horses around Chicago Marbles previous races here would not indicate that he could outrun his field as he did yesterday Now the horse was backed by somebody and whether he was try ¬ ing King or not will always be an open question As Ray his jockey walked along the track return ¬ ing King to the paddock the cries which greeted him from the betting ring and lawn were anything but complimentary to the jockey jockeyThere jockey There was another angle to the race J T Jim Williams appeared on the program as the owner of Populist It appears that this veteran turfman Truman lately replovined explained the horse from the man Martin who has raced him here Williams gave3000 bond for the horse but some legal papers being seived sieved during the day Judge Rees thought that should Populist run and win money the Racing Association might be tangled up legally and so excused Populist just before the first race of the day
