For a feature at Yonkers today the offering was the Arrow Selling Stakes and the winner turned up in W. C. Clancys Hullabaloo, a cast-off from the H. P. Whitney stable. The Marrone stable finished second and third when Day-due raced to second place and Whisk beat Ararat for the short end of the money. The race was wortli ?2,035 to the winner. A race of really more importance was the White Plains Highwcight Handicap and it gave the Rancocas Stable first and second money, when Thunderclap was the winner, with Little Chief in second place. Four of the races were at distances of less than a mile. Such programs are not especially popular with the racing public, though a big gathering was on hand and there was no end jo enthusiasm. ; Starter Cassidy had considerable trouble jn lining up the field for the Arrow Stakes, but it was sent away in good style anu McAtee lost no time in going to the front with Hullabaloo. Daydue followed him closely all the way. Elected II. was leading the others at the satrt, while Whisk and Ararat began rather slowly. There was little change in these running positions until ncaring the stretch turn,. Hullabaloo was still showing the way andtaydue could not cut down his lead, but lhisk was moving up in a game fashion, wluc Elected II. was dropping back. At the end, while Hullabaloo won by a length he was doing, his best, and Daydue beat his stablemate by a length and a half for second place. In, this race James Butler was represented by "East View, and before the running he was favorably considered by many in the crowd. He began well enough and for a time was racing in third place, but he faded away badly and was cased up to last place at the finish. RANCOCAS STARLE TO FORE. The Rancocas Stable finished first and second in the running of the short three-quarters of the White Plains Highweight Handicap when Thunderclap caught Little Chief in the stretch and beat him home. George W. Lofts On Watch was a distant third and Wishbone was the only other starter. From a good start Wishbone made the pace, but Little Chief was right after her and had caught her before the turn out of the back-stretch was reached and had a long lead himself before the stretch was reached. On Watch, never a rapid beginner, was a distant third in the early running, but was showing the" way to Thunderclap. When the stretch was" reached Wishbone was through and both Oil Watch and Thunderclap closed up off- Little Chief. Sande chose the out-sidevitJKThunderclap, while Marinelli was sending On Watch along next to the rail. B.iit Thunderclap was best and, finishing fast, passed his stablemate in the last eighth, Syhile On Watch tired and third was his "portion. Bessie Leighton took the first race, a five and a half furlong dash for two-year-olds. Peter Brown ran to second place and Ducks and Drakes was third. The Shea stables Louise Groody was jumped on in the running and so badly cut down that McAtee dismounted when he pulled up without riding her back to the scales. Peter Brown rushed into a long early lead and he seemed a sure winner until an eighth from the finish. There he began to tire and Bessie Leighton caught him readily and won by a couple of lengths. Peter Brown only saved second place by a length and Ducks and Drakes was finishing in excellent style when he found his way through on the inside in the stretch. William Martins Zed was good enough to make the pace and win the second race easily from Matinee Idol, while Shaffer lasted long enough to save ihird place from F. W. Morris Zealot. The others were more or less strung out. SUSPICION RACES WELL. The fifth race was a five and a half furlongs dash for two -year-olds, to be ridden by jockeys that had never ridden a winner. Simon Healy sent the winner to the post in Suspicion from the Syndicate Stable. Ghost raced to second place and third fell to Temptress. Susiana, a stablemate to Suspicion, made the running, with Ghost in second place. At the head of the stretch Ghost had Susiana beaten and seemed all over the winner until Suspicion closed up on him on the outside. Hammond, who had the mount on Ghost, went to the whip and it was all over. Suspicion raced on by and R. Bush, who had the mount, had won the twenty-five dollars that was to go to tho winning rider. There was some weird riding in this race. Continued on twelfth page. EMFLRE CITYS GOOD RACING Continued from first pnge. Five of the fifteen horses that were carded for the Arrow Selling Stakes were the product of H. P. Whitneys Brookdale Farm, though the five of them did not race. They are Exodus, Brainstorm, Wellfinder, Hullabaloo and Ararat. Rather an unusual showing for one farm in a race. Paddys Lass was tried without blinkers in the fifth race. Ceorge Odom will ship the Robert L. Gerry horses to Saratoga Tuesday. He is taking thirteen, and just to take the curse off that number a pony goes with the shipment. Fecdor is being left behind, as well as two two-year-olds that have been gelded. The horses of the Triple Springs Farm will finish out the Yonkers meeting and be shipped to Saratoga Sunday. There was a wholesale pruning down of fields at Yonkers when twenty-three were scratched from the six races. Zealot vas raced without blinkers in the second race. It was learned that in nis previous race, when he was so equipped and quit badly, he was blinded in one eye by a flying clod and the obstruction became lodged in the blinkers.
