-g DIMMESBALFS STAKES! Easily First in the Belgrade Seil- - ing Stakes. . . Lucky Antoine Wins His Third - Consecutive Race Coeur de Lion Another Lucky Castoff. JAMAICA, N. Y., Oct. 4. Frank Farrells fast sprinter Dimmcsdale was the winner of the feature offering of the Metropolitan Jockey Club at Jamaica today when he was first home in the running of the Belgrade Selling Stakes, with the Greentree Stables Galant-man second, while the Xalapa Farms Poe was a close third before the Rancocas Stables Whirlwind, and back of him came Hullabaloo and Marie Maxim. Threatening clouds hung over the track all afternoon, but no rain fell, and the crowd was both a large and well entertained one, some of the finishes being excitingly close. Dimmcsdale had to be a really good horse to win the Belgrade Stakes, which was worth ,525 to the winner, for he met some interference right after the start. It was a three-quarters sprint and Marie Maxim and Poe left the post running fast, while the others were piled up a bit and Hullabaloo was the chief sufferer. Marie Maxim paced Poe through the back-stretch and lasted just about long enough to take so much out of the son of Huon that he tired when the pinch came in the stretch. After Poe had put Marie Maxim away he was showing the way on the turn for home, but did not have much left. T. McTaggart had been saving Dimmesdale in third place while coming to the stretch turn and when Marie Maxim gave way he rushed him up and was soon alongside of Poe. He came away in the last eighth to win by two and a half lengths with speed to spare. Poe tired so badly right at the end that Galantihan, finishing fast in the middle of the track, caught him to take second place by a half length. After Hullabaloo was away so badly Kummer did not persevere with him and he was at no time a real contender. Continued on sixteenth page. DIMMESDALES STAKES Continned from first page. Ten cheap ones furnished the entertainment in the mile and a sixteenth of the second race and N. Loscalzos Lucky Antoine was an easy winner from Bravo and Diversity was just up in time to nose Sir Galahad II. out for the short end of the purse. A rattling finish came at the end of the three-quarters of the third race, another dash for platers, when I. E. Breslows Coeur de Lion just got up in the last stride to beat Rubien home. The latter had cut out the pace and made it fast- Bersagliere was a distant third and a length before Dexterous. The fifth race, a dash of a mile and seventy yards, furnished quite a surpriso when tho lightly considered Vulcain Park, after being in last place to the far turn, came through the homestretch so fast that when he passed over xhe winning line he was three and a half lengths before Sea Cove, which had tho masterly assistance of Earl Sande in the saddle and had taken a small lead on the last turn. The well-backed farorite, old Cum Sah, ran well enough to save third money. He had set a fast pace for the first five-eighths and altogether ran pretty well for an old timer.
