ARGREGORS GOOD RACE The card offered by tbe Hawthorne manage ¬ ment yesterday was a fairly good one for an off day and some good racing was witnessed by the large crowd that waa present The day was gloomy and cool and conditions were not of the best for scoring fast time The best contest of the day turned up in the fonrth race a free handicap for threeyearolds and upward at one mile and seventy yards Only four horses were entered but the race was thought to be be ¬ tween Trinity Bell and Argregor To the sur ¬ prise of many however after the flag dropped Bernato whisked to the front and threatened for a time to make a runaway affair of it He led by almost three lengths up to the final eighth where the hot pace he had set began to tell on him and he commenced to falter falterAt At this critical juncture Coburn brought up Argregor with a rush but he did not succeed iti getting the colt quite up to the tiring leader until in the closing strides In the last few feet by dint of a vigorous ride Coburn got Ar ¬ gregor in front of Bernato winning on the post by ahaltlenKth going away while the latter beat Boney Boy a length for second place Trinity Bell finished lapped on Boney Boy but ran a rather indifferent race and failed to show that early speed which has usually character ¬ ized her efforts hereabout this year Boney Boy awakened with startling quickness and cloEod forcefully He is a hard horse to guess St Marcos a new comer took the third race a dash of one mile in an easy fashion Coburn who rode him allowed Max Bendix to set the pace for the first eovon furlongs where be called on the son of St Florian and he camo away without much trouble winning by two lengths from FlyingTorpedo he beating Knnja one for second place Flying Torpedo came with a rush at the end but had no chance to beat the winner Knnja hardly ran up to bar best form and flagged badly when called upon by Sullivan in tbe last eighth Max Bondix quit badly after running well for seven fur ¬ longs longsMabel Mabel Winn is not any too much enamored of over four and a half furlongs and got a close call in the fifth race a five furlongs scramble for twoyearolds just lasting long enough to get her nose across the imaginary line in front of Legal Maxim She led by a large margin for fonr and a half furlongs but began to sprawl in the last sixteenth where Legal Maxim hav ing been lying within call all the way came with a rush and almost nipped her on the post She won by a nose Legal Maxim beating Em ¬ met Orr fonr lengths for second place The last named awakened with a start and showed vast improvement over his last effort Haydon showed a little early speed and also showed that he is nowhere near a good stiff race raceMaggia Maggia Davis despite the fact that many be ¬ lieved her recent mud races had dulled her epeed virtually ran away with the purse in the third race a six furlongs dash She led from Sag dip by a snug margin and won running well within herself by three lengths from Bosa Diah Emma B finished third two and a half lengths back of Bosa Diah The latter finished strongly under a weak ride and was much tbe best of those that finished back of her Emma B showed her usual turn of speed but died away when the pinch came Lady Idris ran well for five furlongs bub lacks courage and will not stand a drive Alice Dougherty was never a contender Triaditza has seemingly trained off and is possibly in need of a rest restThe The last race of the day went to Laureate Laureateridden ridden by Coburn which made the third winner that this jockey had piloted during the day dayJfiret Jfiret About set the pace and thenElFonae but along about the last eighth post Coburn brought Laureate along with a welltimed rush and he had no trouble about winning by a length and a half from El Fonse which beat Elmer L almost one for second place The lastnamed came fast in the final sixteenth but could not quite get up for second money Q W W was given a poor ride being ridden in and out all over the stretch He should have finished no worse than second Tammany Chief ran a dull race raceThe The days opener a dash of five and a half furlongs for twoyearolds went to Hermis the favorite with Wiukfleld in the saddle Inspector Shea facing the barrier for the first time showed the way up to the last eighth post where Winkfleld called upon Hormie which came away with a bound and won easily by three lengths from Hnzzah he beating Tommy Foster two and a half lengths for second place Hnzzah moved up fast in the last sixteenth but had no chance to beat the winner Tommy Foster was backed on his good showing with Thiostle several days ago but ran an indifferent race and had a fairly hard time of it in break ¬ ing Jnaido of tho money moneyAfter After the decision of the sixth race J H Texas Smith claimed Tammany Chief for 81000 81000The The running of the Futurity will ba called off this afternoon A direct wire has been strung for this purpose purposeNine Nine horses are named to start for the North ¬ ern Handicap this afternoon If all go to tha post tho gross value of the event will be 7210 which will net tho winner the enticing sum of 6120 Gallant old Pink Coat is the top weight but can handle his 120 pounds in good style and run a grand race Bobert Waddoll is not likely to be a starter if the report of some weeks back to tho effect that he had split a hoof was true Speculation about the race was rife at the track yesterday For one thing it was said that Fa vonins has recently been working in fine style and if the report is correct this horse will prove a formidable factor In fact he is simply turned loose if ho is now back to his true form and in view of the hard luck that has pursued tho stable here no one could object if Favonins should credit this rich stake to Burns Water house Six Shooter is also said to enjoy tho confidence of his owner and stable connections and with his light impost should run a great race However thero are others in the race and none of those mentioned may win
