Y., May 20.— The sensational winning streak of James Butlers string of home-bred horses from. Kastview Stud, continued unbroken at Jamaica today, the three-year-old Pique, a son of Spur — Miss Puzzle, winning the best race of the day, the Hamilton Handicap. The Hamilton was a contest of a mile and seventy yards for three-year-olds and upward. Pique was one of the two three-year-olds in the race, among the older horses being the stake winners. Brainstorm, Hephais-tos, Catalan and a double winner at this meeting, H. C. Fishers Cartoonist. Pique set the pace from start to finish and it was Cartoonist which fought it out with him from the beginning and lost the purs,- by a matter of inches after a thrilling stretch duel that left the excited crowd in ignorance of the winner until the numbers were hung up. A length and a half back of the leaders, the lightly weighted Eockerbie was third, eight lengths in front of Brainstorm. The latter flattered his backers by keeping close to the pacemakers for more than three-quarters, but he quit badly at the end. Piques performance was a good one for a three-year-old with 118 pounds on his back. He led every inch of the way and. under a confident ride by Coltiletti. stood off repeated challenges from Cartoonist, and came again right at the end to withstand the Fisher colts final challenge. SAT EVEXS WINS. The claiming race for two-year-olds which opened the days sport brought out a number j of youngsters that had never been seen under colors before. Several of them were broad- ioast as coming cracks from the paddock, but the finish found the New Orleans and Ja- I maica winner Nat Evens the winner.

Gunny Sack, carried the Flam- | ingo Farm Stable colors home second, while G. C. Winfreys Janis D., a first-time starter, I finished third. The race was marred by a good deal of roughing and Carter put up a skillful exhibition of riding through the last quarter to get i the winner out of the jam at the stretch turn and bring him home in front. My Eva. , carrying the colors of the Kentucky State Racing Commissioner Polk Laffoon. was highly regarded on the strength of fast trials at Belmont Park, but she was away poorly and was far back all the way. Earl Sande rode his first winner since the Kentucky Derby when he rode E. Plaths Danby in the second. It was a duel from start to finish and Sandes horsemanship was largely responsible for the half length lead that Danby had over Robert [* Gerrys Emissary at the finish. Several lengths back, Frank Browns King Jimmy held the others safe for third money. The withdrawal of Silver Fox, left a well balanced field of three-year-olds just under the first flight, to fight it out at approximately level weights, over the three-quart»r route. Coltiletti got Emissary off in front, but Sande had Danby right at his heels. Pleasant Memories attempted to race with them, but after three-eighths of fast running she had enough and dropped back, leaving the others to fight it out, between themselves. ACCIDKNT IN FIFTH. Sande was content to keep his mount back of Emissary to the turn into the stretch, where he went to work with his whip, and the Star Master colt responded courageously to wear Emissary down in the final sixteenth.

Alex WoiMllife got off to a flying start and set a merry pace for three-eighths, with Skirmish in close pursuit. On the turn allahan took Skirmish up on the outside and she passed the part-maker to win easily. Osage just g t up to take third money from Catharine Von Utter. When .sixteen platers faced the harrier for the fifth race at a mile and seventy yards it was almost imwtahle that there would be an aeeident oa the first turn.
