JACK ATKIN ONCE iGAIN DEFEATS RESTIGOUCHE IN THE MONTAGUE STAKES AT WEIGHTFORAGE Tranco Cdnquers Top Note in the Rosedalo Stakes Horace E Displays Remarkable Speed in Defeating Baby Wolf New York May 0 At Timaica today Tack Atkin easily defeated his only competitor Restigouche for tlio Montague Stakes but the latter seems to be an illfiitiil horse in races with only two starters and the race was a repetition of the Sterling Stakes at Aqueduct when Chapnltepecs victory was made questionable by his interference with Restlgouche It is rather a singular Coincident that the Montague like the Sterling is a weightforagei race with two starters in each and the rider of Restigouche making a claim of foul In both For six furlongs Jack Atkin and Restigonche ran like a team when Jack Atkin began to slip away but never gained a big lend At the quarter post he had a lengths advantage but Rcstlgmiche seemed to be gaining when bo suddenly faltered and Jack Atkin Ixmnded away to a lead of live lengths in a jiffy which he held to the end endEvery Every one believed that Restigouchc had stepped in a bad spot in the course and there was general surprise when Notter went up to claim a foul The evidence of the patrol judge who was very near the scene of 41iu incident was that Rcstigouche ran upon Jack Atkin and that the latter was in no way to blame It is quite probable that Notter started to take Restlgouche inside of Jack Atkin when the latter was not entirely clear The in ¬ cident spoiled a most interesting contest as Resti gouche was going well at the ime and might have given the winner a close argument Restigoncbe had a slight cut on one of his ankles but Jack Atkin was unhurt While Jack Atkin was a good favorite there was a lot of wise support for Resti gonche which was hardly justified by his public form formThe The tabulated history of the Montague Stakes is as follows iear followsiear Winner A Wt Jockey Val Time 1203 Ytllow Tail 5 I20Waterbury 2005 140 v 1004

of her good class by her victory in the Rosedale Stakes in which she showed a truly remarkabe performance She was conceding Mven iwuiuls to the other starters and it seemed to be a twoJiorse race with Trance and Top Note as the contenders Top Notes only race hail boon such a good one that she was made a slight favorite but at the end both she and Trance were at 11 to 10 Top Notes preliminary gallop was not encouraging as she seemed to go short and choppy and the bettors were very much at sea regarding the merits of the pair But when it came to racing Trance quickly showed her superiority She Itroke fast and opened up a gap of four lengths in the llrst quarter which she ran in 22i Mnsgrave then steadied her to the turn for home from where she bounded away again to win eased up by eight lengths She ran the four and a half furlongs in Mi remarkable time for the condition of the track and the ease with which she won It appears more than ever that she may develop Into a highclass youngster She certainly is better than any of the Keene twoyearolds shown yet although she was weeded out of tin barn last year yearThe The condensed history of the Rosedale Stakes is as follows Year

Jamaica meeting two years ago that Mr Rainey paid Barney Schreiber 25000 for Horace E At the time Mr Schreiber was quoted as saying that lie had kept a better horse in Jack Atkiu Per ¬ formances of the two years justify the opinion of 3Ir Schreiber for Jack Atkin is one of the most consistent racers in the country and a good money winner Horace K went wrong soon after coming into Mr Raineys possession and last fall was con ¬ sidered hopeless as a racing proposition But Ed Peters persuaded Mr Rainey to allow him to take the liorsc to California Out there Horace E im ¬ proved and today he showed the speed which he had displayed as a twoyearold The race was a handicap at live and a half furlongs A few who Isnew that in his last start lie met some interfer ¬ ence at the start and that McDaniel lost his stirrup which he did not regain backed him from 0 to 1 to 1 to 2 After Baby Wolf the favorite bad made the pace for a furlong Horace E went by him and fairly electrified those who held watches on the race by turning the quarter in 21 and the three furlongs in 33j This carried him to a lead of a half dozen lengths and be won cantering canteringIn In the same race John Marrs a
