HARLEM RiCING. Monday was m irked by an exceptionally fine afternoon and the loy3r3 of the sport of kings turned out at Harlem in fall force. The track was at its best and fast time was the rnle. Fred Fosters handaome Watercress Paloma 310,000 teauty Yellow Tall stepped five furlongs in 59i, establishing a new track record and incidentally winning a big bet for his owner. Yellow Tail was in the fifth event along with an ordinary lot of youngsters, and opening at 3 to 2, he was hurriedly backed down to 6 to 5, going to the post a stanch favorite. McQaade rode Yellow Tail, and getting off in front, he made a runaway race of it. Inlook stayed with the Foster colt through the first furlong, which was run in 11, and then he collapsed, letting Yellow Tail open up a big gap and win running. Mc-Quade took no chances and at the finish was riding the colt, although he was about a half dozen lengths in the lead. Fat Dunnes Salvable, who, so rumor had it, -was hopelessly broken down, recovered with a start and won the mile and seventy yards con-dition race in a high class way and in almost track record timo. The handsome son of oal--vator Lydia, sent to the po3t thickly bandaged in front, was heavily backed. Master Tommy Burns was np and he rcda one of bis bast judged rattas. He broke third with Salv-able and remained in that position to the three-eighths post, then he cut loose and set sail for tiia flying pacemaker, Found. The latter as in fine fettle and it took Salvablea best speed to catch her, and when he did the filly hung on like glue. It was about the sixteenth post when the pair hitched up and from there to the wire they had it hammer and tongs. Found aievar was very stoat-herted and in the last iew strides she hung and Salvable got the verdict by a nose. Foand stepped the first mile in 1:39. That J. H. Texas Smith is on the alert about the chances of the sellirg race game was clearly demonstrated after the second event. He has been after Jackanapes for some time, and after he was beaten in the race mentioned, Mr. Smith claimed him for 00. Once before at Hawthorne Smith ran Jackanapes up after he liad won to ,200, but Johnny Schorr who had him theji kept him. This considered, Smith got quite a bargain. Doable Dummy at the false price of 6 to 1, won the race marked by this incident, very easily. There were big fields in the first and third races, and they were to a certain extent decided at the start. Mont Eagle, at 7 to 1, and Jim Gore II., at 4 to 1, proved to ba the fortunate ones, and, after getting off in front, were good enough to hold their lead and land their respec ive races. Tommy Barns rode a perfect race on Jimp in the closing mile selling event and won, driving and all out. by about a length from Yolandies. Jimp is a peculiar horse to ride and Burns has him down to perfection. He has just one burst of speed and after that is exhausted he is through. Burns knows this well and took particular painB to use that burst of speed at the right time. The Lake street elevated famishes comfortable transportation going out to Harlem, but the returning trains are badly managed. Last evening the first two trains leaving the track -ware not half filled, but the last one was crowded to the limit and standing room was at a premium. Mr. Condon said last night that he would turn special attention to this feature and the chances are that there will be seats for all returning late hereafter. T. Barns, J. W. Schorr Jr., Charles Ellison ad Henry Shields leave for San Francisco Wednesday night. Shields will ride for Galen Brown next winter.
