August ML— The Amsterdam Selling Stakes, at a mile, resulted in a stirring contest today between Lady Botha, Yankee Notions, Pomette Kleu and Hairy Shuw. the four starters. When Lady Botha, after following the others to the stretch, closet up rapidly along the inner rail and mot up in time to catch the judges eve it was a surprise t the spectators. Yankee Notions made the pace to the far turn, where he was joined by Pomette Bleu and the two came wide when turning for home. Lady Rot ha. steadily improving her position, saved much ground. Meanwhile. Yankee Notions and pomette Bleu were lighting it out to the tiuish, but right at the end Lady Rotha. under a masterful ride by Oarner. who had taken everv possible advantage, got up in time to score. It waa a sensationally run race. Hail they kept clout r to tin- inner rail on the stretch turn either Yankee Notions or Pomette Bleu would have won. The deceptive angle caused many to believe that Lady Botha had not won and there was a demonstration when her number was hoisted.
