N. Y, May 3— Zev. the handsome brown son of The Finn and Miss Kearney, made amends for his defeat in the Paumonok, the opening day of the meeting, by easily accounting for the Kings County Handicap, which featured the first Saturday afternoon card at Jamaica. His stable companion Mad Play was the one to carry the Rancocas Stable colors to second place, while the Lilane Stable was third with Sun-sini. C. H. Thierrots Prince James was fourth, while Henry Altermans Homestretch, the remaining starter, was a badly beaten fifth. The Kings County was at a mile and a sixteenth and there was little delay at the barrier before starter Cassidy had the field on its way. Sunsini was the quickest to start. but he was closely pressed by Zev. Mad riay was the last one to leave. Going to the first turn, Sande sent Zev to the front and before a sixteenth of a mile had been run he was joined by Mad Play. The pair raced in this position throughout, while Callahan had Sunsini down next to the inner rail. Prince James was easily leading Homestretch, which was a distant follower. When straightened out on the back stretch, Sande still kept Zev in front, although he had a snug confident hold on his mount. Several times Sande glanced back over his shoulder looking for Mad Flay, but the three-year-old was always in close striking distance. Rounding the far turn there was a general closing up and it was here that Fair-brother, astride Prince James, made his move. Prince James responded with good courage. but his challenge was of no avail for the brown colt kept his lead, with ridiculous ease. Entering the stretch, Callahan, failing to find an opening on the inner rail, came to the outside and his mount closed resolutely under hard riding. However. Zev, despite his impost, drew away through the final eighth. Mad Play, however, was ridden out to stall off the fast closing four-year-old. Mad Plays performance was a thoroughly good one. and on todays showing, he will make his presence felt in his future engagements. The race carried an added value of ?:J,500 and was worth Jj.TOO to the winner. The victory completed a double for the popular Rancocas establishment, which had previously earned a purse with Sheridan.
