Ml Z PAH SKIS A KECORD. Mlepah. nnder tbo careful handlingof traioer W. 3am, has developed into one cf tlie bat horses now racing in the west. At Harlem j Saturday, be gave an example of his present form. He ws in with an extremely speedy lot at a mile and twenty yards an I the brown son of Fnvardala innlet won rnnniug away and incidentally clipped three-quarters of a second from tbi tra?k record for thn distauco. Trainer Ham hid M zpahkoje 1 np to concert pitch and told all hi friends to bet on him. Tommy Barns wbb up, and this was "hunch" enough for the pnblic. Consequently the gelding wa mide a stroog favorite a 6 to 5. Ham held Miz pah high in hi esteem, and .ave Burns inBtrco.ioDS to go oat and race every inch of the way with the pacemakers. Barns followed instrac -iions to a dot, and before three-quarters of the journey had bo an made he had Slay Beach and all the others at bis mrcy, and at the finish he was eased np, clear of Benneville and Moroni. The latter could not k-ep pace with the leaders dnring the early part of the journey, bat through, the stretch ho came like a cyalocie. Jockey McQiade, as the result of his recent suoc 8?, has evidently been ovorcome with an attack of the swell head and in a most arti ti : way thiow a race away, for Mr. A C. Clark, on Hqrmi so in the tuiri event, fl-rmuso was we 1 backed at a liberal pi ice by his owner and at the head of the ttietch had every hi g his own way. Master feliQuGde here weut to sleep and when he awoke he found that Hilee, an 8 to I chance, had slippod np on the inside and won by a bead. It was a rank pece of carelessness, end tbe jadpes promptly fined McQaade 00, which should bs a good lesson to him. J. H. Smith seems to have a fondness for Tappan ana after he won the closing mile selling rice ia a BenBational way be bid him np to 30 and got him. The m inner in which Tap-pan won and tbe ride he not from Barns will long be remembered b those who saw the racs. Paseing thi half-mile ground it did not so-m that Tappan had a possible char co to win but Barns never pave up and aftf r a cesperate finish he succeeded in outflnisbing Mitchell, and landed Tuppan a winner by a narrow margin. Oat of the milo and a qaar er race came a finish ti ih? hair-raising order. It was between Double Dummy and Barataria and the Dummy got the d-CHiori, Drincip illy b cause Mitchell outrode Bracford. Too latter is a new beginner and 88 far as bis strength goes rides a good race, but he is a trifle green at the game and it was natural that Mitcht.ll should "put it on him" Jim Gore II. and The Rush, both at short prices cud both ridden by Burns, won tbo first and ejcoad events reuestiv -ly oisily.
