Browns six-year-old Jim Gaffney Kitty Belle Brcoks gelding Sedan, favored by a big change in the weights from his last meeting witli The Boy, reversed th-3 decision over the F. A. Goss color bearer in the Quebec Handicap, at three-quarters of a mile, the feature of the Connaught Park card this afternoon, and equaled the track record of lrl3, held by Top o th Morning. The Boy finished second, well beaten, and Vive McGee, after racing in third position from start to finish, won the small portion of thy purse. Jockey H. Myers rode the winner, his second of the day. He also won on Mouette in the opening race, for Canadian-bred maidens. Lady in Black upset calculations in winning the Rideaii Purse, at a mile. It was the first time the daughter of Boots and Saddle Yankee Tree had gone more than three-quarters, and the presence in the race of such proved stayers as Royal Jester and War Club caused the J. A. Parsons color bearer to be overlooked in the betting, with the result that she paid 6.90 on a ticket. Jockey Har-bourne rode the winner. War Club and Royal Jester finished second and third respectively. Steeplechase riders Haynes and Howard have reported to Jim Donahue at Blue Bonnets to prepare the Mrs. F. Ambrose Clark jumpers for the coming meeting. Some of Ral Parrs tinibertoppers will be shipped to Montreal for the Blue Bonnets meeting. P. Hinphys Sand River II. is reported ill with a fever. H. Tulletts Humma spread a hoof in the race of yesterday. Jockey Butwell leaves for Havre de Grace at the conclusion of the present meeting. E. B. McLean has first call on his services for the Havre meeting. E. F. Whitney will have second call.
