CARD OF SEVEN RACES ♦ Furnish Excellent Entertainment for Monday Crowd at Belmont. _ « Silver Fox Annexes Main Race of Program — Marche Militaire Star in the Embryo. ♦ NT5W YORK. N. Y., June 1.— While there was no real feature race up for decision at j Belmont Park for the Monday sport, it was; excellent racing that was furnished and for; the first time in New York this year the i program contained seven races. The weather was summerlike and this added greatly to; tho enjoyment. The best race of the day was the Roame, a mile condition race, in which Iho Rincocas i Stal le*s Silver Fox, which raced well in the j Withers, rather handily beat home Blind j Play from the Log Cabin Stable, and Whet- j stone of the Glen Riddle Stable was third i ahead of Swinging, the only other starter. In this race it was Silver Fox that cut out | most of the pace, but Blind Play was not I far away. Before the stretch was reached ] Swinging was through and as she dropped hack Clarence Kummer attempted to bring i Blind Play around Silver Fox, but the son j of Grey Fox II. had plenty in reserve and j he drew away again. At the end Whet- j stone was coming again, but Blind Play held her safe for second place. This performance of Silver Fox rather added to the merit of the score of American Flag in the Withers. IBM COLIX EASILY. There were fourteen maidens that went to the post In the opening three-quarters and H fell to William Hogans King Colin, a | slashing big five-year-old son of the un- j beaten Colin. He was a maiden only for the j reason that he had been raced seldom for |M made a show of his company to finish j the distance in 1 :2%. Samuel Louis* Antiquarian raced to second place and Mrs. T. J. Regans Resonance was third. From a good start Antiquarian was first to show out of the company, but King Colin went to him in a few strides. Collins rode him vigorously and he had soon gone Into a good lead and the result was never . afterwards in doubt. In the stretch though still leading by a comfortable margin, Collins roused the big gelding wih his whip and at the end was eighth lengths in front. Antiquarian easily saved second place and was i three lengths before Resonance, which beat Roiville a like distance for third. The steeplechase of the day was for the platers and over the short course. It proved easy for L. II. Congers Isis, when she led the Greentree Stables Conniebert home by a wide margin and Mrs. Alexander Browns Ruine was a close third. ; i ISIS SURE-FOOTED. W. Hunt at once went into a long lead , With Isis, hut at the third jump he made the mistake of looking back at the others, with the result that the mare stumbled badly. He . was guilty later in the race of the same offense, ; but Isis kept her feet under her and she was at no time threatened. j Conniebert raced forwardly throughout. but tired badly when hard ridden in the last half mile, while Ruine. after trailing for a turn of the course, closed a big gap to race over the others and she was only a head back of Conniebert at the end. Henry I att-ner was a bit of a disappointment in the running and he did not seem to have any good excuse. John K. Madden has a first-class colt In Marche Militaire. the son of Light Brigade and Margaret Hampson. He was an easy winner of the five-eighths of the third nee. The Rancocas Stables Nichavo, a son of Lu-oelllte, I finished with excellent courage to take second place and K. K. Hitts Whatll I Do was the one to be third and it was Hm Log Cabin Stables Festival that was fourth. Right at the start Syria bolted and threw Coltiletti, but fortunately the rider escaped was first to show out of the bunch, but he swerved over a bit on Whatll I Do, though no serious harm was done. Kummer rushed Festival to such good ad-antage that he was showing the way almost to the stands. Whatll I Do wart racing second and Man he Militaire third. But the Madden colt was outrunning the other two and h»- wis soon in command and out in a good lead. There it was that Iaverne aFtor brought Nihavo up with a rush on the outside and he was gaining in a mann -r that suggested he Hr-ould catch the leader, but Marche Militaire had plenty to spare and he was still wIl clear at the end. while the i.ucellite colt juat beat Whatll I I o by a had fur second place.

I lost some of its interest and when an unfortunate start, in which Sweeping Away and | Campfire Tales had scant chance, more in-I terest was lost. It resulted in a victory for j E. Plaths Danby when he led home Frank I E. Browns laplander and A. C Bostwicks ! Scorcher beat Sweeping Away for third. There mre but five starters and the three placed I horses were the ones that had the best of the I start and they dominated the running all the ] way. Laplander was the one to cut out the, pace, but through the early running Scorcher and Danby were not far away. Then when the stretch was reached Laplander began to tire and it was there that Danby caught him in a drive .o come on to win. Sweeping Away was so far out of it after thi start that he had virtually no rhamr though he closed a considerable gap and surely would have shared in the purse with ! better fortune at the barrier. C Buxtons Everglade, ridden by A. John-I son, proved best of the band of platers that started in the sixth race at one mile. At the end he was under pressure to outlast Samuel Louis Scoop, while 1. H. Sims Caligula WM tlnni. The winner was a forward factor from the I art and moved into the lead when r.ady and held Scoop safe. The latter made a !.:. rmiia i bid and was wearing the winner down.
