The grandstand Indulged In a continual round of hand-clapping for the popular Jockey Idol during the parade to the post and the fielders cheered themselves hoarse. The lightweight rider, however, could do no better than a good second to the 100 to 1 shot Nigger Mike. Three supposed factors In the race Moyea, Smiling Tom and Pierrot were removed by crowding at the start and Waterbury, the grand looking half brother to Kenllworth and Old England, the most highly considered, simply qualified for some stake race later on. He ran green, apparently, his jockey Shaw, having to take him up repeatedly to keep him from running Into horses. The steeplechase that followed was a chapter of accidents and incidents that kept the crowd on their feet yelling and cheering from start to finish. There was n bad wlxup at the first jump which the entire field approached closely bunched.

Orly, the favorite, fell when within striking distance of the winning goal and his jockey, Troxler, sustained injuries sufficiently serious to send him to the hospital, though he has no bones broken. The winner turned up in the suddenly improved Embarrassment, which got up, unperceived by Koerner, on the Inside of Earl Rogers and won out right at. the end. Barney Sohreibers colt led from the start and seemed a Mire winner when a furlong out, where his jockey took an easing up pull on him with disastrous results.

The defeated half brother to Maximo Gomez and Tommy Atkins was backed for a mint of money at odds-on ahd his victory was considered a foregone conclusion by .the wise contingent. Billy Lakelands big and long-striding youngster pulled up lame as did McCarter, but In a lesser degree. Angler, the quondam selling plater was in his rightful element today. The brilliant Sir Dixon four-year-old was not extended to dispose of the handicap horses opposed to him in the fifth race. Jockey Herman Itadtke incurred the displeasure of the starter while at the post in the first race and was set down for three days. He will go back to Saratoga to gallop the Rainey horses. The H. M.

It was the thirteenth day of the meeting. .Mr. 3enny says he won ,200 on the race, making thirteen S4 bets.
