ROYAL YANES ATLANTIC. j l BURLEWS CAST-OFF DEFEATS HIS FILLY FOR STAKE AT BRIGHTON. j l Equals Brookdale Nymphs Track Record of j 1:00 for Five and a Half Furlongs j Coup with Rifleman. i Now York, .Tilly 15. Superior racing in sutTi- ch-til iii;iiility to surfeit the most case-hardened regular was on tap at Brighton Beach today. Interest til tlx Sort on 1 1 1 1 1 itll unabated and, the wisither conditions being particularly favorable, prohahlv 15,000 people saw the seven races, which included the Atlantic Stakes, a selling fixture for two year-olds, a steeplechase over the short course, two well balanced and extremely open handicaps, a condition sprint, a selling race for two-year-olds and a maiden race to which everything past two years old was eligible. Notwithstanding the class of horses engaged during the arternoon, they did not develop anything ilartling in the way of speed. Koy.nl Vane, the winner of the Atlantic Stakes, managed to equal the track record of 1:00 Tor the live and a half furlongs, which was estahlished Septeinhcr 20, 1005, bv Brookdale Nymph, carrying 1H pounds. Diiniells colt, although hold at a prohiliitive price in the betting, was heavily supported by his connections, closing finally at :; to 5. Royal Vane gave his backers a few moments of anxiety at the most critical point in the race, on the last turn, where Ella ONeill momentarily drew away from his challenge. The suddenly improved Burlew tilly tired linally, however, and allowed the favorite to get up. The tabled history of the Atlantic Stakes is shown below: Year. Winner. Wt. Jockey. Val.

Wilson Jr.s colt, .Sanguine, the betting favorite. Mis hackers were given several uneasy seconds before Miller relieved the situation and drew out and proceeded to win off in the closing furlong o the race. Sanguine was pocketed behind a solid wall of horses for nearly live furlongs. The cross-country affair developed the unusual spectacle of a beaten favorite being cheered to the echo on his return to the judges stand. The applause was actually intended for the jockey. At the twelfth jump Sunglow blundered badly and Archibald was pitched over his head. While turning a somersault in the air the rider reached out and grabbed an ear with one hand and the mane with tho other and got back into his saddle again. Jockey Miller monopolized attention when he brought Cressina home an easy winner over Sister Frances in the third. These two were about equally favored in the market, both closing at 9 to 5. Orbicular, a contemplated, but long delayed "good thing." came along and made good with ridiculous ease lu the mile and a sixteenth handicap. The running of the race was farcical. So many horses had presumably "waiting orders" that they got in one smothers way with ludicrous frequency. This quartette of bad actors were Tar Vfcsr, live. Cairngorm and Dolly Spanker. The one exception was Yankee Sirl. She carried 121 pounds and ran second to the light weighted winner. She continued her journey after the finish for another three-sixteenths, doing the full mile and a plater in 2:05. This was Yankee Girls final trial for the Queen Stakes of ,500. which will be decided over a mile and a half of ground next Thursday. Court Dress and Klip Flap are both on the shelf and may not he seen In public for several mouths, therefore C. R. Ellisons lillv has - nival chance of winning. Probably a high-class filly in Littleton Maid graduated from the maiden three year-old ranl:s In the sixth race. She is owned by II. P. Wliitncy and was backed for a good sum at the average odds of 7 to 5. The winners race was a sensational struggle, as she was virtually left at the post and the riderless Teiiez got in her way the first hundred yards. Klllcman, backed down from six to sixteen to live, the medium of a tremendous coup, ran away from Ids opponents in the handicap last on the card. Firestone came out of his last race at Sheeps-head liny in a more serious condition than was suspected, lie will hardly be seen under colors before fall. He was given a little exercise this morning for the first time since the accident. Sandy, the stable jockey, has not been able to ride for several days, owing to injury sustained when crowded to the fence at the start in the race won by Roscben last Wednesday.
