Dr. Clark, hero of many stake victories while racing in Harry Payne "Whitneys colors ami recently secured by Mose Goldblatt at Saratoga, made his debut to the local public in his new owners colors an auspicious one, for he triumphed decisively over sonic; of the best sprinters that could be mustered here and turned in the best three-quarters of the meeting so far when he accomplished the distance in 1:11. Ginger, coupled with Mile. Dazie, finished in sec: ond plaoe and Blackie Daw furnished the main surprise of the race when he took third place after .1 fast stretch sprint that brought him from almost last place. High Cost and Brookbolt had the confidence of the speculatively inclined, Dr. Clark being fancied next and only slightly more than the entry. The speedy Minute Man, accompanied by American Ace, were the early leaders, with Dr. Clark having worked his way into contention fast after a somewhat slow beginning, following the leaders closely, and on the stretch turn he raced by them with a rush and held sway to the end. High Cist was never dangerous ond Brookholt. after beginning slowly,, was moving up steadily on the stretch turn.; when he suffered extensively when American Aco stltemptHli-ltr run out: This disposed of his chance effectively. Racing patrons here, were offered an attractive card, some of. the dashes bringing to the post the better grade at the track :nd it resulted in the best days sport of the present meeting. The improvement in the card contributed to increased inutuel receipts. The track was in splendid condition. BETTINA FAILS HER ADMIRERS. In the mile purse came a disappointment in the failure of J. X. Camdens Bet Una. She was held in high esteem by the public and trainer Milam, who influenced Montfort Jones to keep Scobie here to ride Bettina, instead of leaving for New York to ride in the Futurity, Garner substituting. Bettinas failure was not altogether due to her lack of speed. She was away poorly and Scobie used bad judgment in rushing her into exhaustion in an effort to get her in the early contention. Ben Valet, after his long rest, was fresh and good and, racing into the lead with a rnsh, set a fast pace and held Bungn Buck safe through the stretch. Bettina landed third. The mile and a sixteenth dash found Rndio a pronounced choice and betting wisdom in this instance was correct, for Radio won easily, but only after lie had given his supjiorters considerable concern on account of his tardiness in the early running. Pool kept him next to the inner rail. hm-.-?ver, and he saved much ground on the turns. Yellow Blossom, racing in improved form, landed in second place after tiring in the stretch. Eleanor S. also gave way rapidly in the last eighth. T. C. McDowells College Girl proved best of an ordinary band of two-year-old fillies that started in the second race and she had to be hard ridden to win, for she lost much ground on the stretch i turn when she came wide, but finished fast and overhauled Bonnie Crest in the last eighth. Margaret Winsor came with a rush in the strorch to land in third place. John Iiowe earned his first purse of the meeting : when his Hold Me won the sixth race, in which a i dozen two-year-olds met. Mooneys riding of the : Ally was of the alert order and she raced into the : lead in the stretch to beat Little Polly. The latte.r : showed fine speed, but is a non-stayer. Had Tulalip and Mooresque not suffered from crowding soon after r the start both would have been dangerous, as they closed immense gaps and were running fastest at t the end. HEREAFTER BEATS GIPSY QUEEN. The introductory scramble fell to Hereafter, iviich took the lead in the last eighth to win i with Bome ease from Gipsy Queen, with Kinglike i;t third place. The lutte snowed a high flight t of speed in leading to the stretch, where his ailing : legs began stinging him and he shortened his stride. Natural Bridge, which in his last public appearance - wou a questionable race at Saratoga and an outcome of that race was the suspension of Yeargin for a listless ride on Leatherface. was installed 1 favorite this afternoon on the occasion of iiis first - appearance as the property of G. Knobclkamp. He ! proved a dismal failure and finished far back, The Wit winning after a hard race to outstay Paris ; Maid. Kimpalong, by virtue of getting through next u to the inner mil, just got up to beat Dancing Spray. " Natural Bridge retired after going three-quarters.
