Swenkes Silks Twice in Front. ♦ NEW YORK, N. Y., May 20.— Samaritan, a three-year-old son of Grand Parade — Red Cross IV., racing for the Sanford Stud Farms nnd ridden by jockey J. Maiben, was returned an easy winner of the Southampton Handicap, which featured the program offered at Jamaica today. The Oakridge Stables Laurano outlasted August Belmonts Ladkin for second place, while Sherman, from the Rancocas Stable, had little trouble in leading home Harry Payne Whitneys Klon-dkye and the Belair Studs Aga Khan. The winner was a neglected factor and the victory was a surprise. The start was delayed but little and the field left in good alignment. Laurano was the quickest to begin and Turner had him away in front rounding the first turn. Lad-kin went along after him, while Maiben had Samaritan in third position. The two leaders raced as a team for the greater part of the distance and the pair was used up in setting the fast pace. Samaritan was racing along under snug restraint, while Sherman had but little trouble in showing the way to Aga Khan and Klokdyke. When rounding the stretch turn, Samaritan was brought to the outside and he finished with good courage when called upon. Laurano was driving hard to stall off Ladkin, but the Belmont colt took command an eighth from home. He then began to tire from his early efforts and had nothing left to stall off the fast closing imported three-year-old. At the end Iaurano came again and got up in the final stride to take second place. There was considerable disappointment registered when trainer Feustel decided to with- J draw Ordinance but trainer Hopkins decided 10 add Klondyke. Overhead conditions were of a cloudy and threatening sort, but a crowd of good proportions was on hand. ELMHURST TO SWINGALONG. Harry Payne Whitneys Swingalong, ridden by jockey J. Burke, was an easy winner of the Elmhurst, a dash of three-quarters, for three-year-olds. S. H. Harris Prince Hamlet was the one to finish second, while W. R. Coes Lady Belle was third. The start ] was marred when Billy Warren refused to | leave with his company. Burke had Swing-■ along away in his stride and he quickly drew away into a long lead and after being taken under restraint never was seriously threat-I ened. Prince Hamlet and The World were the ones to race in closest pursuit, while Lady Belle was down on the inside and had no trouble in leading Eaglet. Rounding the far turn Burke allowed his mount to draw Continued on fourteenth page. I | i ; j I I ; . [ j | ! I I ; | [ j , j | 1 i .

Prince Hamlet disposed of The World before the stretch turn was reached, while Callahan elected to come to the outside with Lady Belle. The latter finished fast, but was unable to cut down the adsantagc of Prince Hamlet A bulky field of platers paraded for the opening dash, at three-quarters, and the Frceport Stable supplied the winner in Idle Thoughts, ridden by P . Hreuning. in a drive from Mrs. K. Smarts Rosa Yeta, while J. L. Hollands Daydue was third. The field caused some delay at the barrier, but left in good alignment. Daydue, Baby Lane and Trite were the ones to set the early pace. while Idle Thoughts was close up and Rosa Yeta was slow to find her stride. Rounding the stretch turn Brenuing. on Idle Thoughts, came around the leaders and through the final eighth wore down the tiring pacemakers to win going away. Rosa Yeta. from an exceptionally slow beginning, closed an im- mense gap and finished probably the fastest of all. Daydue outlasted Baby Lane. The Chatham Purse, which was at a mile and seventy yards, resulted in a victory for Mrs. A. Swenkes Red Wingfield over C Buxtons Missionary, while A. J. Contentos Masquerado was third. The winner was ridden by jockey B. Marinelli, and from a quick start assumed command at once and rating along in front saved ground all the way. Legere on Misisonary put forth a weird effort and messed his mount about all the way. Beginning in a tangle he rushed into a pocket going to the first turn and for the remainder of the journey was successful in finding more traps into which to steer his mount. Masquerado finished a distant third, while High Pritu •■■ was thoroughly done after going half the route. The Mrs. A. Swenke colors were carried to ja double when Royal Charlie was easily triumphant in the fifth race which engaged a large band of platers at a mile and seventy yards. Mrs. E. Brewstars Water Girl raced to second place while Airs. J. -L. Hollands Apology was third. The winner was ridden by F. Hastings and was a forward factor from the start. Assuming command at the far turn and drawing away into an easy lead he held his opponents safe thereafter. Water Girl began slowly and came with a rush in the stretch, while Apology was just in time to beat Scottish Chiet
