ALADDINS EKDUKACE STAKES. As if to make amends for the mediocre card of the day before the Hawthorne management presented a cracking good Bet of eeven races yesterday, among them being tho ever popular steeplechase affair. The crowd was probably the largest of the week and as has been the rule for the last week or so ideal racing conditions prevailed. The feature event of the day was the Endurance Stakes, a handicap sweepstakes for two-year-olds at one mile with ,000 added. South Trimble was hit upon by the talent as the best of the five babies that faced the barrier, being held at 11 to 5. Ho was conceding much weight to everything in the race bnt Arian and failed to make good although finishing a good second. Aladdin, ridden cleverly by Cobnrn, proved to be much the best at the end winning quite easily. The Giver, off poorly, was bustled to the front after passing the flrBt turn and held a comfortable lead up to the last eighth where he began to show birds of distress andnd began propping badly. Aladdin, which had b3en nursed carefully up to this point, easily took the lead and won without much effort by a lergth and a half from South Trimble which finished with his usual burst of Bpeed at the end and beat tho exhausted The Giver the same distance for sscond placo. Miracle II. ran a fairly good race. Arian was never a contender. The steeplechase proved to be an oaBy matter for Dick Furber, he winning in an eaBy gallop by eight lengths frcm Eva Moe, she beating Populist ten for Eeccnd place. Saintly led by a big margin up to the tenth jumpwhero he tired eo badly that be fill over it heavily, allowing Sick Furber to take command, the latter never being headed thereafter. Captain Conover fall aver the last jump. He was closing up fast at the time. Becky Rolf e cculd hardly get up a strong gallop at any part of the route. Silurian won the days opener, a dash of one mile, more on hiB own courage than because of any help from Qormley. Ho was almost left at the post, bnt mado up ground gradually when he got into his stride, passing his fisld one by one and getting clear of it at tho last eighth. He appeared to be winning easily thereafter, but Little Elkin came with a surprising rush at the end, causing Gormley to ride him out to the last ounce to win by a neck. Fantasy was third one and a half lengths away. Monos finished strongly and about ran his race. In the light of his last previous showing Little Elkin ran a wonderful and suddenly improved race. As was expected by the talent, Gonfalon took the second race, a free handicap for all ages at seven fnrlongs, but his victory was due more to Walshs weak finish on Toah than to his own superiority. Maggie Davis led, as was to be expected, for six furlongs, where Bhe bad enough and Toah assumed command. Along about the last eighth post Coburn brought up Gonfalon with a rush and got on even terms with Toah in the laBt one hundred yards. In a ding dong finish, in which Coburn simply played with Walsh, the former succeeded in throwing Gonfalon over the line first by a noBe. Maggie Davis finished third, a length away. Bhe was lucky to finish in this position, however, as Ben Battle was closing up fast on her in the last few strides aud would have been third in another stride. Uledi ran disappointingly and failed to show the spied be displayed in his second to McCheeney some days before- Haviland was never a serious contender, the high rate of epeed of the race being beyond hiB capacity. Charley OBrien was supposed to hold a mortgage on the fifth race, a free handicap for all ages at one and an eighth mileB, but the best he could do was to run second to Odnor which beat him in a desperate drive on the post by a nosa. Strangest finished third two lengths back. OBrien showed all his well known speed for a mile where Odnor closed up on him and the two fought it out hammer and tongs to the line, Odnor prevailing at the end of a very fast race. Strangest about ran his best race. Searcher, fairly well up for seven furlongs, died away f st in the last quarter. Conundrum ran tho bast race of his career. Tommy Fosters sudden rejuvenation from bis miserable showing of September 23 waB indeed edifying. He was simply a different animal yesterday than on the foregoing occasion was very speedy and Bimply smothered his field. Ho led frcm flag dip to finish, winning as his rider pleased by almost three lengths from Emathion, which beat Bobo Flume a neck for second place. Emathion ran in much improved form and bears watching from now on. Rose Plume finished with resolution and would have been second in a few more strides. Preetorius and Hermie showed early speed. The rest wero never contenders. The talent could see nothing but Leo Newell with Coburn up in the last race, a dash once around the circle. He rewarded the confidence placed in him by winning quite easily at the end after a sharp tilt with Julia Jnnkin in the last eighth. He crossed tho line two lengths in front of her, whilo she beat Benckart a short head for second place. The latter came fast at the end and would have beaten hor in a. stride oij two. Ho is a fast gelding and will do to watch from now on. Eva Rice showed speed for six fnrlongs. The others might just as well have remained in their stables. August 21 Sam Hildroths Telamon won a mils dash at Hawthorne, Argregor finishing second, Flying Torpedo third and Rasselas fourth. At Bome time subsequently C. T. Boots, owner of Argregor, filed an objection on the ground that Telamon was not eligible to start in the race in question. On examination the judges found that he was right and yestorday rendered a decision disqualifying Telamon and giving the race to Argregor with Flying Torpedo second and Rasselas third. Thero is a necessary implication of gross carelessness to be located somewhere. Charles Green, formerly president of the St. Louis Fair Association, waB a visitor at the track yesterday. W. E. Cotton and C. M. Watters wore each fined 0 yesterday for violation of the rules governing the paddock. Jockey Gaddy, who rode Saintly in the steeplechase, had his wrist broken when his mount fell.
