OUTSIDERS SCORE AT JAMESTOWN. Numerous Scratches Follow Return of Heavy Track Conditions James McLaughlin Saddles Winner. Norfolk, Va., April 22. This section Is certainly having its share of wet weather this spring. It rained again last night and the going at the Jamestown Jockey Clubs course again became heavy, with the usual result, numerous scratches. The withdrawals ruined what promised to be an attractive program. The card was made up of seven races, with the Berkley purse, a dash of three-quarters of a mile ami a race that called for gentlemen riders as the feature. In the gentlemen riders race Monsoon drew away into a long lead after they had gone a quarter and at the finish led Jim by almost a dozen lengths. Jim beat Monsoon about the same distance here last fall, so it was a case of turn alout. With Sea CHIT, Hoffman. Compton and Alfred the Great withdrawn from the Berkley purse, Vrceland looked to be in a soft spot and 2 to 5 was eagerly accepted about him by the big operators. Vreeland made a runawnv affair of the race, taking the lead after they had gone an eighth and winning under restraint by eight lengths. James McLaughlin sent his first winner of the season to the post when the two-year-old lilly Mollie Kearney cantered home half a dozen lengths in advance of the Belmont colt, Tipsand, in the fifth race. She was one of the outsiders in the betting, as were also Phil Mohr and Lawton Wiggins, winners of the sixtli and seventh races. Former jockey Willie Martin, purchased Agnar from William Carmody for the Beverwyck Staole this afternoon for ,500. Jockey Roscoe Troxler will leave for Lexington next week. He has been engaged by Catesby Woodford to ride one of bis eligibles In the Breeders Futurity to be run during the Lexington spring meeting. J. Simon Ilealy am1, jockey T. Davies were visitors at the Jamestown course this afternoon. Trainer Ilealy reports that the two-year-olds by Aeronaut that he is training for Captain Cassatt give promise of developing into useful racers. He will ship his stable to Louisville at the conclusion of the Finilico meeting. Fred W. Gerhardy received a wire from Secretary Fraser of. the Ontario Jockey Club to the effect that the stall rent on the Canadian courses will be the same as last season, for each meeting. Some one circulated the report tiiat a charge of 0 would he madetfor each stall occupied. Capt. P. M. Walker has been asked to let his good apprentice, Byrne, go to Lexington to ride Joe Knight in the Breeders Futurity and also Governor "Gray in the-Kentucky Derby.
