ROYAL YANE ON THE GRASS. LEADS ALL THE WAY AND WINS THE PANSY STAKES IN A CANTER. Maxnar Takes the Handicap in a Drive with Red Friar Roseben Wins the Sprint Dick Finnells First Brackets. Now York, July Ideal weather conditions, the aRiiiiililc change in the atmosphere taking place over night, prevailed at Sheepshead Ray today. The promising card was marred somewhat by scratches, the handicap at a mile and a quarter losing most in this respect. It was practically robbed of ;ill interest by the withdrawal of Dr. Gardner and Philander. Maxnar lasted long enough to win from the poorly ridden Red Friar. The one stake was the Pansy, at six furlongs over the grass course, which was won in runaway style by . E. Rurnells fast colt, Royal Vane. Despite ;i heavy stable commission the odds against the favorite were practically stationary throughout the betting. Woodbine and Hollistcr were heavily hacked.

It was mere play for Davy Johnsons horse to win. It. L. Thomas, who started Ilaensel with small expectations of accomplishing .liiything against such formidable competition, wagered $.".,000 on the favorite at 1 to 5. His feelings can better be imagined than described when he saw his own colt leading the mighty Itoseben during the first half mile of the running. Walter Millers skill as a jockey was chielly responsible for the "victory of Spooner in the second race. Andrew Millers two-year-old was nearly backed off the boards. Von Troinp was expected to do great tilings in the mile and a sixteenth over the grass course, and John W. Gates indulged in an ill-advised plunge on the McKinney horse which was starting for the first time since his memorable California campaign of last winter. Miller had no great trouble in winning with Iteidmoore. W. S. Fanshawo made an offer for Notasulga today. There was a wide difference of opinion as to her value between the prospective purchaser and owner Al Ilamel and the deal fell through. Hainel, it is said, wants $:.0,000 for his Ally. Fansbawe declared that she was not worth more than ,500. W. W. Elliott has announced that he will sell I.uliin, Standover and Don Hamilton at public auction next Monday. The. sal will take place in the Fasig-Tipton Company Sheepshead Hay paddocks. Joe Villepigue had a force of twenty men making sandwiches for the crowd that will visit Sheepshead Hay tomorrow. The caterer expects to dispose of ,000 worth of sandwiches, while he usually sells over ,000 worth of champagne on the great holiday. The greatest crowd of the season is expected.
