Graveseiid track was the star number of the seven races down for decision at Bclmoitt Park this afternoon and Harry Payne Whitney furnished the winner in Whisk Broom II That crack win of Broomstick which had not raced since lie won the MetroiKilitau Handi ¬ cap after being practically left at the post never left the result in doubt today Joe Nottcr again had the mount oa him and when the signal was given he at once sent liini in the lead and re ¬ mained there throughout to win handily Just after making the turn into the stretch Wliisk Broom II began to loaf but as soon as Notter shook him up he drew away again to win by a comfort ¬ able margin His race was a wonderfully K tod one for he carried 130 pounds anil mn the mile and a quarter in 203 over a track that hail been dulled by rain This was within fourfifths of a second of the American record for the distance made by Whlsl Broom II s sire Broomstick when he won the Brighton Handicap by a head from Irish Lad There are maiiv who
