Although good and even fast time marked the C racing, a lilit rainfall rendered he iraek par- ii in tieularly acceptable to horses with mrid-running proclivities, and Dr. Holzberg, a lightly-weighted to Woodlands-bred racer, survived what proved to be one of the most thrilling and spectacular turf con- l tests of the fag end of the season. IScsom. a strong v paddock" tip. was said to have recovered the speed f which he bad lacked in his previous races, lhe Kingston gelding did actually dominate the early running in old-time fashion, but failed to stay and was luckv to have saved the place from Jeanne dArc. which tillv was seriously impeded by the swerving of the winner at a critical moment near- J ing the finish, lrince Gal and Dreamer ran in a J manner Indicating that they bad trained off. while i Firestone showed the effects of his recent long-dis- i tance racing and training. The winner was well backed at S to 1. TJie Brooklyn Jockey Club provided a good, program for getaway-day and but for .threatening weather the attendance would have- been much larger than it was. The rain caused unite a few withdrawals, but these were not missed, as the fields were numer- J ically strong; . " - , , , The condensed history of the Bayshore Stakes " since 1900" is as follows: !

The former was favorite and got the decision in a close finish. Sou. a castoff from August Belmonts stable, materialized as :v real good thing in the second race. The Hastings fillys crazy behavior at the post delayed tin: start and imperiled jockey GUbert. She was finally Siven a tlying start and never caused her backers :i moments uneasiness. James Blute also uncovered a gool thing in Sir Cleges in the next race. The Falsetto gelding ran a marvolously improved race for his new trainer and led a band of good opponents, including Question Mark. Mav River. Moquette and Bonnie Kelso, from start to finish in a fast-run race. S. C. Hil-drelhs Woodcraft outclassed the lot opposed to him in the liftli race and the result from first to last was never in doubt. A j-are occurrence a false bleak took place while the horses were at the post in the sixth race. Eight or the ten starters, including Tom Kerr, the even-money favorite, ran from three furlongs up. while Oxer, the second choice, was. standing at the post. Oiie version of the fiasco lila red the blame on Smith, the bov on Iudot. who lirematurelv called out "Its a go." and the other iockevs mistook it for the starters signal. Oxer "cantered flu? entire distance under a pull. There was a wild scramble for the betting ring at the last moment to bet on the Toddington colt, but few-got down. .
