McTaggart ligured prominently in connection with the racing at " Palmetto Park this afternoon. By brilliant work he lauded three winners, lie also had the mounts -on Rye Straw and Fathom, both of which should have won their respective races in easy fashion. I Fathom was an intended "good thing" in the feature 1 race, a handicap at live and a half furlongs. Mc- 1 J Taggart got Fathom away forwardly, but contented 1 himself with following Susan B. until straightened 1 for the stretch drive, where he sent his mount along, J but Martin on Susan B. clearly outgeneralled McTag- 1 gait near the end and won by a nose. Sherwood 1 might have won but for being taken wide most of the 1 way. thereby losing much ground. After the finish I Paihom came back to the stand bleeding profusely I from one of his hind legs as a result of having lieen 1 iuiuped on during the miming, prcsimi.ihlv bv Joe i lieibold. Dreary weather and track conditions again confronted the race-goers. Hail, which began early this morning, continued steadily all day and converted the track into a bad condition. Mud-runners had things their own way. I The talent started off auspiciously when Dicks Pet and Gallant Boy. botli-of which were favorites. accounted for the opening purses. The closing dash proved little more than a still exercise gallop for Vollhorpe. which is at his best at present. The quintette of racers owned by the Beverwyck : stable, including Kingliug, were shipped lo Norfolk Ibis afteriKiOii lo remain until after the close of racing there. Plans for Hie campaigning of this stable on be Keimicky tracks mis spring have been changed .- nl the horses will take part in eastern racing. Beginning t irrow, the horses will be called 1 lo the post for the opening event at 2:50. The 1 change in time was made for the convenience of those who are sojourning at Summerville. W. P. Austin, former owner of Kormak and others, was an arrival from New York this morning. lie will remain for several days. Jockey C. Peak, who has been wintering at Hot Springs, is due here Saturday, lie probably will ride for A. F. Day I on. C. S. Wilson took out an insurance policy on Ins Derby colt, Ivan Gardner, today. Ket tledrimi, which has shown great aptitude as a Jumper in his schooling, was also insured by James Boden. Flying Yankee ran away after his race and unseated jockey Teahan on the far turn. The hitter was unable to ride Sherwood and C. Knight was suhsti tilted. The two-year-old Hardshell, the property of 11. Vivell. has been gelded.
