NELLIE WADDELIS STAKE The Midsummer Stakes for twoyearolds with 1OCO added and a handicap steeplechase were the magnets that drew out a splendid gather ¬ ing to Hawthorne yesterday The track had finally ronndcd into tip top ehape and fast time was made throughout the day Nellie Waddell the winner of the stake race came in the nature of a thunderbolt in a clear sky The surprise was all the more marked by the manner of her victory as she won by the big margin of four lengths She was an added starter Immedi ¬ ately at Sag drop Nellie Waddell darted into the Tan leading by a length at the quarter with the rest of the field close up Many expected her to come back to her field but instead she kept increasing her advantage until by the time she straightened for home she was nearly three lengths in front of Hosowar on which Arian and South Trimble were lapped Ed Austin was last three lengths back of South Trimble bnt Coburn skinned the inside rail and had joined the others by the time the last eighth post had been reached Nothing aver got anywhere near Nellie Waddell in the clos ¬ ing strides and she wen by four lengths from Bosewar she beating the exhausted South Trimble one for second place Arian finished fourth a short length back of South Trimble while Ed Austin was lapped on Arian South Trimble under heavy punishment failed to re ¬ spond to Sullivans vigorous ride down the last quarter and ran a very poor race Rosewars performance was a remarkably good one and was by far the beet showing the filly has made sincfl coming from the coast Cobnrn tried to win with Ed Austin by coming from the rear bnt when he called on the colt in the last quarter he failed to respond Arian wae right there at the finish and ran an excellent race considering the weight he carried carriedDespite Despite the fact that Chancery one of the supposed contenders in the steeplechase fell at the second jump the race resulted in a fairly close contest something unusual in an infield affair Lord Farandole a newcomer made a fair showing although he was possibly short and in need of a good bruising race to put him on edge Corrillo led by a short margin up to the last jump where he was joined by Lord Farandole The latter was so tired when taking the obstacle that he came near going down and it was an easy matter for Corrillo to go on and win by three lengths Lord Farandole recov ¬ ered quickly while coming down the last eighth and closed strongly bnt he had no chanca to overtake the winner MacLaren was third three and a half lengths back of Lord Faran ¬ dole Dr Bell refused the third jump jumpLandseer Landseer backed heavily in the first race won in a mild drive from Hnzzah by a neck with Lucy Locket third four lengths away Step Onward closely followed by Lucy Locket showed the way up to the last eighth where she tired and quit and Huzzah took command but here Landseer came fast and strong and was gradually going away by the time the line had bien reached It was a very poor field outside of the first three threeFederal Federal bad little trouble in scoring in the second race a dash of seven furlongs for four yearolds and upward There was nothing in it to give him any kind of an argument and he simply cantered home Livadia as was ex ¬ pected led by a fair margin up to the last eighth post where Cobnrn called on Federal and ha came away with a bound winning in a canter by two lengths while Livadia beat King Dellis threequarters of a length for second place King Dellis closed up fast while coming down the last eighth bnt hnng just a trifle in the closing strides Livadia was well exhausted by the time the line had been reached Sim W ran a good race and was right there for six fur ¬ longs The race from a time viewpoint was a good one oneMany Many pinned their faith to Jiminea in the fifth race a dash of one and oneeighth milea but the colt WBB beaten in a rattling good finish by Argregor which is in great fettle just at pres ¬ ent Jiminez closely attended by Haviland showed the way for the first mile where tho lat ¬ ter retired but along in here Ranch brought Argregor up and in a spirited finish beat Jimi nee by a neck although he could have won farther off Jiminez faltered in the closing strides and plainly showed that he does not like much over a mile Boney Boy ran well for six furlongs only onlyThe The final race of the day was won by the favorite Admonition in a good finish with Q W W Admonition was best bnt Deans lack of strength in finishing told against him and he only won by a half length Q W W ran a thoroughly good race and on his showing against such a tried good colt as Admonition should ecore winning brackets before long Prairie Dog finished a good third and is a con ¬ sistent performer in his class Brief second choice in the betting was unlucky in being so badly cut down that it may be some time before she can be sent to the post again Bed Apple ran well for threequarters and than fell out of contention contentionAs As aftermath of the steeplechase it was or ¬ dered that the further entry of Dr Bell be refused until he has been thoroughly schooled
