THE PANSY TO FRANK LOUD. UNKNOWN MAN BIDS UP THE SUCCESSFUL TAMMANY REPRESENTATIVE. Senator McCarrcn Backs Master Lester Heavily Fountainblue Has a Change of Eiders Nothing New in the Go Between Case. Now York, July 0. "Big Tim" Sullivans colt Frank Lord captured the one stake fixture on the rani at Shoepshead Bay today. It was at six furlongs over the grass course. Frank Lords victory was largely due to jockey Miller, who proceeded to heat the harrier at the start and show the way home, stopping, long enough en roule to administer a cuff and a setback to Horner, who bestrode the ill-fated Mexican Silver. An unknown man had the temerity to bid up the winner. The Tammany representative was entered to be sold for ,000. He was finally bought in at an advance of ,505. A wager of extraordinary size that went wrong marked the speculation on this race. Senator Iat McCarrcn is said to have lost 5,000 on his colt Master Lester, which ran a bad race. There was a chilly and strenuous breeze from the ocean. It tempered the heat a little abruptly and the afternoon was not exactly ideal for racing. Fully 15.000 persons availed themselves of the chance to see a really good card decided, however, and were amply rewarded by the quality of sport furnished. The western horse First Freudian proved so immeasurably superior to those opposed to him in the lirst race, that after suffering all the interference that was coming to him, lie was able to win pulling up. Miller, on Tiptoe, leat the others away in the mile handicap and that probably won for him, as Bohemian, his most daugerous opponent, was nearly left at the post. The steeplechase was closely and bitterly contested from start to finish, a nose decision going to George Saportas horse Yama Christy. The victory of the crack western two-year-old Fountainblue was a foregone conclusion with Miller ill the saddle. His was a superb victory, not only from a time standpoint, but from the maner of its acc-oiiiplishiuenl. Sewell. rode the colt in his preceding race. It is rumored that his ineffectual effort on that oeasion is to be investigated. Messrs.- Thomas and Shields profited largely by the victory of their splendid jcripple Ouatas in the last race. Alex Shields stated tonight that as far as he knew there wore no new developments in the matter of tin present Jockey Club investigation of the Hitchcock protest against the eligibility of Jo Between in tomorrows big race. Continuing, Mr. Shields said: "The little horse is tit and ready and unless his withdrawal is ordered by the stewards a contingency that I do not seriously apprehend he will be a sure starter in the Commonwealth Handicap and will win it, too, despite his big burden of 124 pounds."
