FRIVOLITY TO CHERRYOLA WESTERN FILLY STAUNCHLY SUPPORTED AT ODDS-ON AT YONKERS TRACK. II. G. Bedwell Takes Two More Purses with Madman and Belleview Ostend Scores in Race for Maidens in Impressive Fashion. New York, July 2S. The card decided at Yonkers today was weak numerically, besides being deficient in class, notwithstanding its valuable stake feature. This last-named attraction was the Frivolity and bad three contestants Cherryola. Kadiuin Star and Interpose, the last-named two owned by the iMontpe-lier Stable and running coupled in betting. Despite the paucity of starters, betting- on the outcome was sensational. The western contingent backed the representative of their section at odds-on. as if it was all over but the cashing, while local support was lavished on the Wilson pair.

Powers finish on the favorite was regarded as lamentably weak and quite unworthy of the best jockey in the country. The owners of Queen Marguerite were outspoken in their denunciation of the noted rider and declared that they would make formal complaint to tlie stewards. Earls Court, despite a poor performance yesterday, was backed down today from 4 to 1 at the opening to 18 to 5 at post time. Jockey Scoville, alert and skillful, heat the harrier. Belleview scored a surprising and unexpected success in tlie last race. The odds against the Bed-well horse receded so persistently that few had the temerity to back him. .His winning at 3 1-2 to 1 left Hie layers with virtually clean sheets. Although the card offered today was not up to those which have been run off at this meeting in quality, the attendance showed no perceptible falling
