RACING AT HAWTHORNE. The drubbing the Hawthorne ring received yesterday over the victories of Carnero and j Tnlla Fonso was fierce. Carnero was heavily I backed by form players and the talent, but the 1 play on Tulla Fonso was foreign, and most of , the money taken put of the ring will go straight i to St. Louis. There was a big contingent on hand from -that point, owinj to its b3ing an off day there and it seemed that they came up especially to toack Tulla Fonso. The fillys" best price was 3 "to 1, but at post time S to 5 was the highest quotation in the ring. There was a St. Louis jockey. Vitatoe, on hand to ride the good thing," and he handled her to perfection. Tho toy waited patiently in second place unlil the stretch was reached and then going to the front like a flash, he landed the purse by an open length. Carnero had Cherry Leaf to b;at at nine furlongs. Both carried 112 pouncs and both wore fit to run the race of their lives. Contrary to all expectations Carnero went out to Bet the pace and he made it a fast one. Beauchamp Jet Jim Murphys stake hoisa gallop along as he plessed and reeling off the first mile in 1:401 he was far enough in front to loaf if he chose, but the boy kept him going and he won by six lengths in 1:521. The horse conld easily have ran a second faster if he had been pushed to the limit. The fact that Carnero is back to his best form again speaks well for Jim Murphy. He has nursed the horse along with rare patience for about two years, and has finally received his reward. A leas conservative man would have either Broken the horse down or given up in disgust long before this. Unsightly, with 115 pounds and Jockey Vita-toe up, won the second race off by herself. Bhe was the favorite, and beat the barrier by about two lengths. After that nothing ever got within etrikiog distance of her. She is traly a fine Jilly and is being very judiciously placed. There was a big bunch cf fiftean maidens in the first race, which Maurice W. won rather handily from Brown Dick. The latter swerved all over the track in the stretch and acted like some men do when overloaded with Kentucky champagne. The fifth was a three-quarters of a mile dash for two-year-olds, and Lew Kraft coming through tho stretch with a rush won handily enough at tho end. Tildee, the favorite for this race, was roughly treated and did not finish in the first threa. Aureole, despite a bad ride, proved an easy -winner in the closing mile and a sixteenth race. The weather was cool, the track fast, but the attendance was hardly up to the standard.
