, i 1 i RANCOCAS CRACK DEFEATED Runantell Trumphs Over Kai-Sang in Hartsdale Stakes. Jockey C. Turner Again Figures Prominently with Three Winning Mounts. i f ti NEW YORK, N. Y., October IS. J. E. Wideners Runantell, son of Broomstick Zoola, proved his right to rank with the leading two-year-olds of the East by defeating the Rancocas Stables crack Kai-Sang in the Hartsdale Stakes at Empire City this afternoon. Emotion was third. The race paid ,775 to the winner. Trainer S. C. Hildreth sent Kai-Sang back to the races in good condition. The son of The Finn showed a flashy bit of speed racing with Runantell down the backstretch and held on with grim courage when Runantell began to draw ahead. It was Kai-Sangs impost that beat him.. He was conceding twenty pounds to Runantell and the double strain of setting the pace and carrying top weight began to tell on him after the first half mile. Before he was forced to concede defeat Kai-Sang gave metropolitan racegoers a real racing spectacle in his duel with Runantell. The pair fought it but from the drop of the flag and not until the final eighth was Runantells victory certain. Turner rode the winner in masterly style and shared with the Widener colt the great victory over the Rancocas star. .Another good crowd turned out for the..second days -racing- at the hilltop track. The weather was warmer than on Monday and the track fast. Jockey Turner was the bright star of the afternoon, riding three winners Runantell, Ressi Lodge and Frigate. Margaret White by crossing from the outside towards the inner rail caused a jam immediately after the start in the first race from which her chief opponents never recovered. She won easily from Castanet, while Kirtle finished third. Red Tom was the chief sufferer from the early interference. Lucky Girl, heavily backed, was slow to begin, but she ran a good race and closed a big gap. Fort Churchill was the best of a big band of platers in the second race, at about three-quarters mile. Ho shook Esquire off in the stretch and was going away at the finish. Round Robin was third. Vista and her ring bones again proved the undoing of a large following. Schuttinger was not so careful of the fillys feelings as in her much discussed start at Jamaica, but his efforts were not enough to make her run and she quit after making a bid on the turn. She was well supported in spite of her bad reputation, but she showed in the running that she never should have started. REGAL LODGE A REPEATER. The Turner followers had their first chance of the meeting to show their enthusiasm wlien he rode Regal Lodge to victory in the Boston Selling Handicap, at one mile and a sixteenth. Turner kept Regal Lodge under restraint during the early racing, permitting the gelding to follow the others until the lower turn, while the inexperienced Harrison was using up Ncddam in his attempt to draw away. When Turner was ready ho put Regal Lodge under the whip and the gelding began to gain rapidly on the leaders entering the stretch. He raced Neddam into defeat in the final eighth and was going away at the end. Eleven cheap platers faced the starter in the Sachem Purse. Old Orderly, an outsider, showed a good performance to beat Cote dOr and Pirate McGee. Buxton held him under restraint behind the early pace, while Babin was running Cote dOr to death out in front. Buxton sent Orderly through next to the inside rail entering the stretch and passed the leaders in the final eighth to win going away. Frigate, the rapidly receding favorite, gave Turner his opportunity to make it a triple for the day in the Broadway Purse, which closed the card. He followed the others by four or five lengths, while Squaw Man and Beach Star were racing each other into defeat in the first three-quarters. Then Turner started to move up on the turn and tlie Frizzle gelding was under a mild drive through the stretch to forge ahead of the leader, defeating Squaw Man by two lengths. Jockey F. Coltiletti came from Laurel to ride Penitent in the Hartsdale Stakes, lie returned to the Maryland track immediately after the race. G. W. Carroll will arrive from Kentucky today to ride as a free lance during the remainder of the Empire City meeting. E. J. Crawford lias purchased Consort, a two- year-old brown colt by Celt Silent Queen, from the Foreign Stable. Tlie colt is a brother to King Thrush.
