MCHKPXEY BEATEN. Despite the fact that the Harlem Jockey Club offered a mediocre card yesterday, the asnal large crowd was on hand and witnessed a fair days sport. The Tietory of Albort Enright in the fourth race was one of the biggest surprises of the year. He was held in several books at 100 to 1, very few of the spectators conceding him a chance in the field he was pitted against. Off flying, he at once rushed to the front and was never afterward headed, winning by a length from Dewey, which beat Silurian six for second place. He swerved somewhat in the last eighth, but was clear of the field at the time. Dewey ran a good race, bat was simply not good enough to beat the winner. Silurian tired fast in the last eighth. Even at that he showed improved form and bears watching from now on. Little Scout ceased to be a serious contender after a half mile had been run. Dodona signalized her maiden effort by taking the first race in handy fashion by a length from "Vestry, which finished a half before Versifier for second place. Dodona led from flag fall to finish and was never in danger of being headed. Vestry, kit in hor previous effort, closed up ground in the final quarter and finished strongly. Versifier tired slightly in the last sixteenth. The Fisher Girl ran a fair race for a half mile. Inspector Shsa finally found a track to his liking and, running: to his best form, had little trouble in annexing the purse of the first race to his owners credit. He was slightly outrun in the first half mile, but closed up ground fast in the final eighth and simply ran away from the field, winning by three and a half lengths from Golden Glitter, which beat Zyra a length for second place. Zyra tired badly when a furlong out and Golden Glitter was tiring perceptibly when the pinch came. Bmma A. M. showed well for five furlongs. Bed Tip, well backed by the talent, ran an indifferent -race and was never prominent at any part of the dash. McChesney made his first appearance in the third race since he fell in the Derby Trial Stakes. It was a dash of six fmrlongs and he was made a 4 to 5 favorite, but he showed to poor advantage, finishing fourth. Huachuca, which has been running consistently of late, proved to be the winner, coming with a rnsh in the closing strides under a vigorous ride by Knight and winning by a neck from Corrigan, which beat Herodiade a length with McChesney lapped on the latter. Herodiade showed much speed, but was well beaten when a furlong from home. McChesney was easily outrun in the first half, but closed up fast in the last eighth. The race should do him much good. Talpa finished resolutely and was lapped on McChesney at the end. Lampoon found the track just slow enough in the fifth race to run to her best form. Miss Manners showed the way until just before turning into the final quarter, where Lampoon went to the front without much of an effort and won easily by three and a half lengths from Miss Manners, which beat Goodman two and a half for second place. Miss Manners appeared to falter when turning for home, but rallied in the last eighth and finished fast. Goodman was well spent after running a good race for five f nrjongs. Pericles hardly ran his race and can do better. The last race went to Bab by a length in front of Guy H., he two before Chorus Boy for second place. Bab was not called on until just beforo entering the last quarter, where she easily went to the front. Guy H. ran a surprisingly good race in going he does not favor any too much. He finished fast and strongly. Coburn made the experiment of taking Chorus Boy back in the first six furlongs, and this may account for the geldings somewhat strong finish. Queen of Dixiana appeared to have a chanco when turning for home, but ran out to the middle of the course, losing ground. Should no rain fall on the track today it will be iu excellent shape and fast time should be made.
