NEW HAMPSHIRE IS DEFEATED Unplaced in Woodhaven Stakes, Won by Blanc Seing. Serenader Gains in Favor by-Slashing Victory in the Old Rosebud Handicap. NEW YORK. N. Y.. July 3. Judging from the crowd at Aqueduct today there were several who decided to make the celebration of the fourth a two-day affair and tako in Monday as well as Tuesday. The day was an ideal one for the sport and while the feature, the Woodhaven Stakes, was under selling conditions and only over the five-eighths distance, for two-year-olds, the sport was interesting. The Woodhaven fell to Blanc Seing, from the stable of William Daniel, with the Ran-cocas Stables Thessaly second and Joseph E. Wideners Anonymous third. It was worth ,325 to the winner. Newmarket, the Max Hirsch starter, and Thessaly were the ones to cut out the most of the running, but inside the last eighth Newmarket tired and when Sande tried to rouse him with the whip he swerved over toward the inside and it was then that Blanc Seing made his winning dash. In the last sixteentli he drew out easily to be home winner by three lengths, whil3 Thessaly lasted to beat Anonymous a length for second place. Paisley was along in time to beat Newmarket for the short end of the stakes. There was almost as much interest in the mile of the Old Rosebud Handicap, the following race, that brought together some fairly good three-year-olds, with the Quiney Stables Ray Jay the top weight under 118 pounds. This race was won by Serenader, from the Sanford Stable, and the nature of his victory pronounced him a truly good colt. He took up 11C pounds and, forcing all the pace, won easily 1 :3"75. From a good start Mystic and Mount Hope drew right out from the others and it was a two-horse race all the way. Mount Hope had the inside position and it might be said on behalf of Jelley that he held that place throughout. When Ponce hung so close to him in the stretch Jelley became alarmed and he went to the whip. Mount Hope responded to the call, but Jelley has not yet learned how to hold up a horses head and whip at the same time. Cydonia and Lank, two in the stable of Thomas Monahan that are trained by Frank M. Brey, have been gelded. Dominique, the son of Peter Quince and Berrymaid that was taken out of a selling stake by David Gideon, who boosted him from an entered selling price of ,000 to ?9,500, is now in the care of Steve Lawlcr and he will be raced for the Allies Stable. C. Snyder has taken his plater Kellerman to Canada-to race over that circuit. Jockey W. Heinisch has terminated 1! contract with the Riviera Stable and will return to Canada to ride free lance. Former Governor Al Smith was an interested visitor at Aqueduct. H. F. Sinclair has notified Al Burlen, clerk of the scales, not to permit Sande and Fator to ride against one another when there is a starter from the Rancocas Stable in the same race. At the time he issued the order Sande was under engagement to ride Newmarket for Max Hirsch in the Woodhaven Selling Stakes, in which Fator was to ride Thessaly, the Rancocas Stable filly. Max Hirsch refused to release Sande from his engagement and later Mr. Sinclair permitted him to accept the mount, but his orders for the future handling of his two riders will be carried out.
