HARLHM FAVORITES FAIL. Tom Barrett surprised the talent at Harlem yesterday by scoring with his pair, Zeriba and Mona Murphy, in the.firBt race. The thin mnd suited the fillies and they led the field all the way, with Solace, the favorite, a declining fourth. Red Gidd, Hugh Pennys half brother, beat a good field in the second race at three-quarters in a way that showed that he is partial to mellow going. Charlo, the mild favorite for the third race at a mile, won all the way, and Maceo, an odds-on choice, romped off with the six furlong dash, j fourth on the card. Colonel McGuigans Dick Furber came out of his trance and won the fifth race at five and one-half furlongs in a clever way. Phallas, the favorite, was far back. Diana Fonso, the favorite for the half-mile dash for two-year-olds, which closed the racing, was beaten after a spirited argument by Azua, long overdue. . Thus two favorites, Charlo Dupee 3 to 1, and Macso T. Knight 3 to 5, were successful. All the other winners wore well played, The early track was of thin mud with a good footing. As the afternoon wore along the slop deepened. The air was full of fog and moisture. Scouts hat! to b9 stationed at the far points from the stand to get correct positions in the second race.
