Out.. September 22. -The program offered by the Ontario Jockey Clnb this afternoon was one of the best of the meeting. Besides the Sefton Steeplechase, it had as features the Durham Cup and the Voltigeur Selling Stakes. The fields in . a majority of instances were well balanced and produced stirring contests. Joseph E. Seagram started two in the Durham Qip and finished first and third with Seismic and Mendlp, the former winning in a canter from Cannie- Maid. Probably the biggest run-up that ever occurred at Woodbine came after Amos Turneys Martini Doylo made a runaway of the Voltigeur Stakes. Thchorse was entered for ,200. and II. G. Bedwell. whose .Teanette M. finished second, raised Martin Doyle to ,000. Tumey protected the horse -with the customary advance of and-retained him. Turney was greatly agitated over the boost. He said that ho had lieen led to believe that Bedwell would not liotlier liis horse, and hinted at some understanding in regard to these matters as a result of his recent action In returning The Wrestler to Bedwell at tho same figure that the horse cost him after, taking hlra out of the race at Blue Bonnets in which Bedwell boosted iMartin Doyle. Turneynow has blood in his eye and it is likely that he will play an important part in selling" race-affairs from now on. The Sefton Steeplechase furnished a driving finish between Fincastle and Harrington,-in which "Mr. Chetlands" horse beat the Gerst jumper a scant length. Harrington showed keen speed throughout, but took all of Ills fences sldewise. He struck tho last jump and all but unseated Slater. The mishap at tills point cost Harrington the race. i In the Durham Cup Seismic proved easily best.-Musgrave had hlirt under stout restraint until tho : last quarter. Entering the homestretch Seismic moved .up and. taking art easy lead, won in a romp from Cannle.3Iaid. The, tabled history of the Durham Cup. first raced for in 1900. is as follows: Year. Winner. A.
