14 The hard rain of last night brought with it a chance in track conditions and in ml runners had the call Small fields were tin order due lo the numerous withdrawals from the different dashes The racing was interesting betting again heavy and the attendance on a par with the best offday crowds crowdsA A handicap at threequarters for a purse of 11300 was tlie best offering and it was contested for by quartet of lairly good sprinters with vic ¬ tory eventually going to Angon tlie favorite over Lady Fair Play with Cobwebs following Siren Maid which wound up in last place raced for wardly in the early running but tlie going did not seem to her liking and she lost ground by racing wide on the turns The winner ran a good race and the 115 that he covered the distance in rep ¬ resented si good performance over the difficult course courseAn An upset came with the initial race in which Duke of Devonshire was i pronounced choice but his backers saw their hopes of his winning go glim ¬ mering when lie ran away while on the way to the I ost He covered the course before being brought under control and in the actual race he was too exhausted to cut a figure and brought up last Spearlene running in H Neustaders colors won this from Gipsey Queen QueenHarry Harry II heavily backed had no difficulty in the second race which he won easily from War Prize and Nordeck Mammy o Mine not fancied to any great extent because of a supposition that she could not run well in the going fooled the wiseacres by winning in runaway style from Frivol with Cointreau in third place placeCheer

Payne Whitney division divisionRODRIGUEZ RODRIGUEZ DEPLORES SUSPENSION SUSPENSIONJockey Jockey Jose Rodriguez took his departure for Montreal The little Spanish rider by whose bril ¬ liant work Upsets Derby victory was made possible received a 1000 fee for piloting the winner He was disconsolate over his twentyfive days sus ¬ pension but thought it inadvisable to remain over and plead his cause He will depend on his con ¬ tract employer James Arthur to petition the stew ¬ ards for a modification of the suspension If what Rodriguez says is so then lie was entirely blame ¬ less for the interference in the fourth race result ¬ ing in the initial fivedays suspension He claims that Garner on Brunswick was the one at fault here and forced him over to slightly imped1 Easto sidc The latter did not suffer seriously from in ¬ terference but he did suffer from Luusfords faulty ride But for tlie earlier suspension it is improb ¬ able that the stewards would have suspended him for twenty days for his zealonsness on Upset UpsetThe The Derby running demonstrated Upset a good colt but it also showed Gladiator to be above the ordinary and possibly able to reverse the Derby result witli the winner in their next meeting He is naturally awkward His giant size makes him so and he had difficulty in making the sharp turns In the straightaway running he displayed fine speed and gamcness and he was wearing Upset down steadily in the final strides He will be a big factor in the allaged racing in the east because of his weight concessions and it would not be sur ¬ prising if he tops the threeyearold brigade of course excepting Man o War WarThe The wonderfully large and representative attend ¬ ance that witnessed the racing and Derby decision Saturday carried its own evidence
