LANGDEN YICTOR AGAIN TAKES THE IROQUOIS HOTEL STAKES IN A SPIRITED FINISH WITH ATWELL. Fcls Scores for His New Owner and Defeats King Gorin Imported Colt Nyack Falls Lame Sq.ueeler Goes to Maryland. Fort Erie. Out., August 9. Jerome B. Respess furnished the winner of the stake race here this afternoon when his home-bred Langden beat the imported colt Atwell by a scant length in the Iroquois Hotel Handicap. The conditions of the race called for a dash of five and a half furlongs and the club added ,500. Langden followed the leaders in the early running and, after entering the homestretch, moved up with a good burst of speed and, taking the lead, retained it to the end. Atwell finished with his usual rush and was going fastest of all at the end. He looks like a splendid three-year-old prospect. Savilla had a rough deal in the final eighth, being bumped into and knocked off her stride. The winners portion of the stake was ,050. A popular feature of Fort Erie racing, the Iroquois Hotel Handicap, lias been continuously run since 1901, todays running being the sixteenth.

Ridden by jockey Fair-brother he made a runaway affair of the race and won by a couple of lengths from King Gorin. G rover C. Baker was a vistor at Fort Erie this afternoon. He came from Latonia and is on his way to Saratoga. His brother, W. II. Baker, who returned to Latonia from Canada a few days ago, has thirty-four horses at the Kentucky tracks, where they are being freshened for the fall meetings iu Kentucky. Mr. Baker reports them all in splendid condition. The imported colt Nyack. owned by the Mirasol Stable, has gone amiss. He bowed a tendon after a trial a few days ago and trainer Joe Edwards will probably have the firing irons applied to him. Francis J. Pons has decided to send his big sprinter Squeeler to Baltimore at the conclusion of the AViudsor meeting. Tom Shannon will take Squeeler to Maryland where he will freshen him up for the Laurel meeting. Shannon was also notified by Edward McBride to be ready, on his arrival in Maryland, to take over the two imported yearlings that McBride purchased at Saratoga a few days ago. Starter Dade has given permission to W. T. Martin to start Bolala. The latter is a notoriously bad actor at the post and was barred by the stewards a couple of years ago. The suspension was lifted this spring, but Mr. Dade found it necessary to bar the horse again at Windsor. Bolala looks like one of the hopeless cases. There were five claims in for Aristocrat after he won the seventh race yesterday and iu the drawing G. E. Chancellor secured him. F. Schaller took Solid Rock out of the same race. Yesterday was a record day for claims, no less than thirty-one being lodged luring the afternoon. Allie Gates has given up the horses he was training for I. A. Campbell and the latter will in future do his own training. Secretary .1. B. Campbell will leave for Bel Air, Mich., at the conclusion of the Fort Erie meeting to put in a month or six weeks at fishing. Jockey F. Merimee, who had the mount on Prime Mover in the seventh race yesterday, was run into the fence by .1. Williams mount and had his foot crushed. The mishap will keep him out of the saddle for a few days. M. Goldblatt will leave for Saratoga on Saturday to confer with his employer, Jefferson Livingston, as to the plans of the division of the stable he is training for the Chicago turfman. As a sequel to the altercation which jockeys Dislunoti and Parrington indulged iu after the last race yesterday, Dishmon was suspended for the remainder of the meeting while a fine of 0 was imposed on Parrington.
