HATTHPBNE KACINC. Goldou Rule, Ed Corrigans crack two-year-old, woa another race at Hawthorne yesterday and in doing so be equaled the track record for five and one-half fnrlongs. That this colt is a crackajack is beyond a shadow of donbt and it is a pity that he was not at himself while in the east, for had he been he surely would have given the best youngsters down there a stout argument. His last race was a grand one, being at three-quarters. He carried 111 pounds and won easing up in 1:141. On that performarce he looked like a cinch to beat such a tilly as Alice Turner, especially when the lattor was trying to give him seven pounds. On form Golden Rule appeared to be away off the best thii g of the day and almost an absolute certainty. Previous to the race there was considerable speculation as to what Golden Halos price would be, and it was the average opinion that at 1 to 4 be would be a good batting proposition. When the jockeys were posted, however, W. Jones was scheduled to ride. This seemed to discourage the bettors, and with him up they did not think eo well of Golden Rule. The consequonce was that the ring in ordor to "round np" was compelled to lay 4 to 5 against the colt Jones is not euch a bad rider and is far from being a handicap to a horse, and con-seqaoutly.those who possessed good common sense uuloaded on Golden Rule at 4 to 5. He -was so much the bstt that in order to lose he -would, have had to fall. Jones seemed to be able to keep him on his feet and roce him as well as any premier jockey could have done and. the youngstor won off by himself. Tenoie, with Vititoe up, won the only close race, of the day. This was the fourth event, which was at three-quarters of a mile, aud so close together were Tenoie, Buskin and Lcya-lotta at the wire that it took a good eye to separate them. On Tenoie Vititc e rode a grand race and it seems that a bright future is in sight for this boy. Ho saved every bit of ground possible on the turns and when tho pinch came ha was as cool as a encumber. In the fifth race, which was at pno mile, there was a lot of speed and some fair class horses. Talla Fonso proved t j ba the best, and at the liberal price of 4 to 1, she scored without the least bit of urging. Chenier with 155 pounds np was an easy win-nor in the steeplechase. He and Yanity, the 13 to 10 favorite from Mr. Corrigaua stable, had the race between themselves all the way. Yanity Eeomed to bo a trifle short and quit badly toward tho end, allowing Globe II. to beat him for second place. Chenier won away off by himself and in very faat lime too. Uncas had a cakewalk in the first race. Ho -was backed from 2 to 1 down to 9 to 5 and was riduen by Vititoe. Tho boy placed him cleverly to the had of the stretch and then made his move. Uncas pas:ed Rival Dare, who had been the paceinakor, as though she was tied and then Cdmo home by himself. Judging from the way Macy won the last event be has a chance of regaining some of his old time form. Macy warmf d up stiff and Eore and when he went to the pest it seemed that it -was an effort for him to extend himself. He had an inferior lot to beat and by displaying great gameness in tryiag as hard as he did in his crippled condition he won in his old time way in l-:40r for a mile. Handicapper J F. Remolds was a visitor at the track. He backed Uncas, Golden Rule and Macy and m de his presence known in the ring. Woid has been received that tho Committee on Appeals of tho American Turf Congrats has reiaatatei jockey J. McDonald, ruled, off last summer for what EOmod a suspicious ride on Wilson. The horse has ben Euch an in and outer this year that he was barred in the betting at St. Louis and this led to a reasonable doubt as to whether it was not the horso rather than the boy that was at fault. McDonald is to rido for Hugh L. Jones. He now weighs 111 pounds but can train down to near the hundred mark.
