ON WATCH CONTINUES WINNING WAY NEW YORK, N. Y., September 29. The Roslyn Handicap, feature of the days racing at Aqueduct, brought only two to the post in On Watch and Captain Aleock, the improved three-year-old which caused comment when lie won at Belmont Park recently, after showing poor form in all his previous races this year. The Svithdrawal of Fair Gain, Cleopatra, and Sea Mint, however, did not detract from the speculative feature of the race, as both colts hart, stanch backing around even money. On Watch followed Captain Aleock until an eighth, when he challenged and came en to win pulled up. Time time, 1:44, for the condition of the course, made the race a remarkably good one; The three leading riders at Aqueduct Kummer, Ensor and Mooney finished first, second and third with Beaumarais, Sir Clarence and Le Gaulois in the third race, an affair for maiden three-year-olds and over, at six and one-half furlongs. Beaumarais was the odds-on choice and, taking the lead at the start, increased it to six lengths at the finish. Sir- Clarence, which suffered from interference during the early running, came fast when clear and got up in the closing strides to leat Le Gaulois for sacond money. Invincible showed early speed, but quit badly in the stretch. The Miss Woodford Handicap, for mares of all ages, at six and one-half furlongs, furnished a close finish between Mile. Vivian and Tailor Maid, the former just lasting. Lunetta, the favorite, finished third. Fruit Cake followed Mile. Vivian for the first sixteenth and raced into the lead just before turning in the stretch. At this Juncture Fruif Cake and Elected II. came wide to get the better going, while Miller brought Mile. Vivian next to the rail, saving several lengths. He held her there to the finish Tailor Maid loomed up dangerously when a sixteenth out and just failed to get up. She would Jiave won in a few more strides. Jockey Ensor, astride Tamarisk, the odds-on favorite, accounted for the opening dash. Tamarisk needed the best Ensor had in his shop to enable her to last it out to defeat Vibrate, the second choice. It was a ding-dong finish between the two for- the last sixteentli of a mile. Day Lilly, prominent all the way, finished third five lengths behind Vibrate. J. A. .Coburn claimed Thornhedge out of the fifth race Tuesday for ,203. M. Kornbloom has -bought Santa Clans from John E. Madden on private terms.
