IS HANDHELD AT THE POST. INCANTATION IS PRACTICALLY LEFT AND THERE IS MUCH TALK. Hot Toddy Wins Mile Eaoe Davy Johnson Backs Hed Friar Heavily Robin Hoods Poor Showing Big Crowd Present. Now York, July 27. Stakcless days appear to have little or no effect on the attendance at the popular Brighton Beach course. Today 15,000 people were out to see an average card of sis races rim off. Favorites continue to fare badly. There was some excuse for Tonrennes failure to deliver "the goods In the opening race for two-year-olds. As in his preceding unprofitable effort he displayed pronounced boring out tendencies and only the outside fence kept him from bolting the course in the last furlong. Miller on Botanist, making the most of his opponents costly error, took the shortest way home and won by a scant length. Eddie Ware, the top weight, was a comfortable third. Incantation, with Sillier up, was anchored at the post as the starter sent the field away in the second race. The little jockey remarked later in the paddock that Incantation might as well have been tied to the fence, the man who held her stuck to his work so well. The frequency with which starter Dade is leaving horses at the post is beginning to attract attention. Robin Hood, which was a short priced favorite in this race, made a ioor showing for a horse of his reputation. The winner, Woodsaw, owned by E. It. Thomas, received only mild support. To Millers alertness on Hot Toddy, an 8 to 5 favorite, in the mile condition race that followed was chiefly due the victory of the western horse over Nemesis and First Premium. The latter was handicapped with an outside position at the start. A better jockey might have been of considerable help to him. Davy Johnson won a lot of money on Red Brlar In the mile and an eighth handicap. The Dwycr horses sudden improvement occasioned considerable adverse comment, levelled principally at Jack Martin, who rode him in his preceding races when he was beaten away off. Dr. Rowells Corn Blossom proved a "lemon" In this race, as did his other representative, Corrlgan in the fifth, a selling affair at a mile and an eighth. Shaws superior skill enabled Tyron to get home in front ot the poorly ridden favorite, Embarrassment. It seemed as if Knapp, on Baringo, caught Walter Miller on Revenue napping in the closing dash for two-year-old fillies. W. L. Powers youngster made the running and had established a long lead, appearing all over a winner in the stretch with her rider looking around. Baringos rush was sudden and irresistible.
