This was Country Club day at Kenilworth and members of that organization were guests of the P.uffalo Pacing Association. At the conclusion of the regular program a race for polo ponies was run and it was won by Gertrude, ridden by AV. Seward Cary. The Toronto Steeplechase was marred by mishaps. Pierre Lorillards Mooksie, the heavily backed favorite, came to grief at the sixteenth jump. She was crossed by Dulcian and in landing stumbled and unseated her rider. Mooksie, at the time appeared to have the others soundly beaten. Kodrock found Dulcian a hard horse to, control. Directly after taking tlie last jump Dulcian bolted and his rider was forced to pull up to keep him from going over against the outside fence. AVhen he got bis mount straightened out. again, Pock Storm was right on top of him and in the run on the Hat, Rock Storm overhauled and passed Dulcian, winning easily by a couple of lengths. Cardigan unseated his rider at tlie ninth jump. Jockey Xicol rode the first two winners, Aristotle and Clmlita. On Aristotle Xicol had to put up one of his strongost finishes to get the colt to last long enough to beat Oroba out a short head, but on Clmlita he had only to sit still and allow the filly to go along about her business. Jockey Lloyd, who rode Painty Dame in the Latonia Oaks today, is expected to return by Thursday. The entry of Posing was ordered refused for the remainder of the meeting, as the mare has become a confirmed rogue at the post, refusing to leave the barrier. Henry F. Morris, the Jockey Clubs representative, was absent from his post at Kenilworth this afternoon. He was called to Xew York to attend a meeting of tlie National Steeplechase and Hunt Association. His place was taken by Col. Kobert II. Xeville.
