April 30. — Texas bred horses, carrying I be colors of Texas owners, cut a big figure in the racing at Jamaica today, their success proving conclusively that the Lone Star state is coining to the front in thoroughbred breeding. Hands Around won the opening race for F. T. Wood; Dr. Hollis carried the same owners colors into second place in the next race, while in the handicap, which came third on the card. J. W. Fullers First Premium and H. S. New-mans Don homo, both Texas-bred, fought out the issue, with the 5,000 De Mund back in the ruck. It was the first appearance in the east of the gray horse Don Homo and he showed a high class perform a nee. beating some fair eastern horses aside from De Mund. First Fremium. which was something of a sprinter here last year, comes back a good horse. It was his first start here this season and he is likely to take great prominence among the seasons sprinters. He carried 122 pounds and ran the distance in 1.1. Si. De Mund, although he was making great weight concessions, was looked upon as the best of the lot. but he was outrun at all stages. The break was perfect and, so far as could be seen from the stand, there was no interference at the start, but De Mund did not draw out into a big lead as was expected he would. He at once dropped back. On tne far turn he appeared for a moment like moving up to the leaders, but retired again. While the weight might have kept him from winning, the absence of his customary early speed was unexplainable. ile was apparently in the lccst of condition and his trainer bettered that be would win sure. Barlmry Belle was the single winning favorite of the day. Molcsey. the choice in the fifth, was best, hut being poorly ridden by Clausen, gave I he winning opportunity to old Savable-.
