JAMAICA CARD SLIM But Columbus Day Crowd Is Given Pleasing Entertainment. Jockey Earl Sande Rewards His Followers with Three Winning Mounts Almost Has Four. NEW YORK, N. T., Oct. 12. There was some good racing for the Columbus day crowd at Jamaica today and, though the featura only had three starters, and two of them in the same interest, the other races furnished plenty of entertainment. Sande came bacH to something like his good form when he waa the winner of three races in a row and on his fourth mount it was only bad riding luck that prevented him from making it four and Major August Belmont scoring a double, fof Blind Play was best in the fifth race. J. A. Harpers Black Wand outgamed Edward Arlingtons First Lady Harding in the opening three-quarters dash, but with equal racing luck Mrs. S. Flahertys Outcross would have beaten the pair instead of being third. First Lady Harding made the pace and Ramo tired in the stretch, but she could not withstand the final rush of Black Wand when she dashed up on the outside. Outcross was pinched back at the start until he was a bad last Stutts then worked his way up with him along the inner rail and he closed an immense gap to outfinish the tiring Ramo and take third money. The third and fifth races were both five and a half furlong dashes for two-year-old maiden colts and geldings, and the first one fell to Major August Belmonts Pricemaker in easy fashion from the Riviera Stablea Fabian, with San Altos third. This race also chalked up the second victory of the day for Earl Sande, for in the previous race he had brought Sea Cove home the winner. SEA COTE TO FORE. A mile and seventy yards for selling platers of every age was the second offering of the day and R. Luries Sea Cove Avas an easy winner from J. L. Prices Cum Sah, with Water Girl finishing third. The only other starters were Ticklish and Caveat Emptor, and they finished in that order when Collins pulled up Caveat Emptor, after he found him hopelessly beaten. W. R. Coes Courser was winner of the second five and a half furlongs dash for maiden two-year-olds when he led Major Belmonts Blind Play home, with Suncar racing third. The start was a ragged one and Suncar waa lucky, while Blind Play was unlucky. That just about made up the difference between winning and losing. The Interborough Handicap at a mile and a sixteenth narrowed down to three starters before post time and when both J. A Co-burns Knobbie and the Rancocas Stables Rigel were sent to the post by Sam Hildreth, they were treated as one horse because he trains both. The other starter was Tryster. After a short delay at the post the barrier rose with Tryster showing the way and then Coltiletti sprinted him out swiftly until he was a couple of lengths before Knobbie, with Rigel close at hand. Down the back-stretch, when Fator saw that Knobbie did not go to Tryster, he shook up Rigel and he moved up with a rush that soon brought him right to the heels of Tryster. Before the stretch was reached he had him headed and then it was that Sande called on Knobbie and, coming fast on the outside, ho readily passed his stablemate to win by four lengths, while Rigel beat the tired Tryster by a greater distance for second place. This made it three winners in a row for Sande. SELLS NINE- YEARLINGS. There was a considerable horse transaction completed recently when James F. Johnson, owner of tha Quincy Stable, sold nine yearlings he purchased at Saratoga to A. J. Contento. This only leaves five horse3 in this once large racing establishment that is presided over by James Fitzsimmons. I. E. Brcslau has purchased Sweet and Pretty from G. Konigswald. Out of the racing Thursday Charles Franck claimed Comedy for ,300 and Charles Caf-erelli took Lady Audrey for ,S00. It develops now -that Dr. Albert O. Inclan of Havana, Cuba, was the purchaser of High Chief and made1 the purchase for breeding purposes. He will stand at the Caimito Stud in Cuba. Roger Minton will ship this young sire with the first New York consignment for Havana. Snapper Garrisons Hands Up is not much of a traveler. He had a fit while being brought from Belmont Park to fill his engagement in the first race and was excused from starting by the stewards. It is tha second van lit for the two-year-old.
