April 2! — For the second day of the New York racing season there was another big crowd out at Jamaica and an excellent brand of sport was offered. The second disqualification of the meeting came when Walter J. Salmons Briarbroom was set back after finishing first and thai popular rider J. Maiben was suspended for five days. He was charged with having brought about the bumping of Suomi and the unseating of G. Ellis, who had the mount. That was one of the outstanding happenings of the afternoon and by the ruling William Woodwards Belair Stud Stable earned the major portion of the purse when Amberjack was placed first by reason of the disqualification. The stake of the afternoon was the Highland, a claiming race for the three-year-olds and it resulted in the Rancoeas Stables Sarapion being returned winner. But a race of more sporting importance was the Springfield, a condition dash for three-year-olds and over, an dovcr the five and a half furlongs distance. This proved easy for Mino. from the Oakridge Stable, and the manner in which be toyed with his rivals made it evident that the only reason for his defeat at the Terminal course last Saturday waj his inability to race over the turf course. In the Springfield it was James Butlers Turf Light that was second and she readily saved that part of the purse from Gfford A. Cochrans Little Asbestos, the colt that so readily beat Mino at the Terminal course. MINO SIIOAVS THF. WAY. The sta-t was a good one and Sande lost no time in sending Mino into a good lead. Turf Light attempted to go with him. but be had too much speed for her and the others were in a fairly close bunch. Melmor was unable to keep up with the procession and Mill wick, winner of one of the various Der-b.es of last year, was anotlver that did not belong. Mino was so much the best that Sande never had to entirely let him down to have him home the winner by four lengths. Turf Light stuck it out to beat Little Asbestos smndly and the others followed along. In the Highland Claiming Stakes the Han-cocas Stables Sarapion, a son of Thunderer and Tanya, was home winner from Walter J. Salmons Traveller, with Jack Richardsons Basquaise only a nose farther back in third place. The purse was worth ,300 to the winner. From a good start Sarapion was first to show out of the bunch, but he was at once outrun by Brose Hover and Tom Tiger and for an instant it seemed that the Hildreth three-year-old was to be shuffled hopelessly out of the running. He had an inside position and the pacemakers went into a comfortable lead. But Cat rone bided his time and finally made his challenge going to the Stretch turn. It was there that Brose Hover was about through, but Traveller was galloping strongly and Basquaise was not snowing any disposition to stop. But Catrone went around the pair of them and. timing his run to a nicety. h was along to be winner by half a length. Traveller caught Basquaise in the • •losing strides to nose her out for second place and the others were well strung out. EASY FOR RKPRISAL. Reprisal, the old son of Helmet and Bachelor Girl that races for Frank Bambara was an easy winner of the opening dash. J. Ijeiders Thos. Lynn raced to second place while H. W. Maxwells Camilla saved third from Donnavideo. It was a good start and Tommy Me-Tagsart was successful in sending Reprisal out from the others until he bad a clear lead. Camilla w. iit after him while Thos. Lynn met with some early interference and was blocked repeatedly. Sabina, the George P. Widener, starter, wa.s another that was pinched on and knocked about a bit in the early racing until Barnes gave up the fruitless chase and morclj permitted her to gallop along in her own fashion. McTaggart made every use of the advantage he obtained with Reprisal and it was umilla that wa.s closest to him until well In the stretclu Then as the filly began to tire Thos. Lynn came with his rush that landed him safely in second place but he did not in any sense threaten Reprisal. The second disqualification of the meeting came with the running of the second race when Walter J. Salmons Briarbroom after be.ng first home was set back and the race awarded Amberjack from the fttlelr Stud Stable with the Rancoeas Stables Crystallite moving into second place and George D. Widener s Hardwood third. Maiben who had the mount on Briarbroom Continued on siiteentb pnge JAMAICAS SECOND DAY Continued from first page was charged with having brought about the stumbling of Suomi which went to his knees at the three furlong post, unseating !. Hllis. This was a throe-quarter dash for maidens and the start was a good one. Suomi was the one to make pace and it was leaving the back stretch that Maiben moved up outside of him with Briarbroom. There was a jam before the three-eighths post was reached and it was there that Kllis was unseated. Briarbroom in the meantime had crossed to the inside and was well out in front of his company. Amberjack was racing in second place while Crystallite was closing resolutely on the outside. Happy Argo had come into some trouble by the accident that befell Suomi and some of the others met with interference. In the run homo Briarbroom hold Amber-jack perfectly safe with Crystallite a strong | going third and then came a closely packed I bunch all fighting it out with the vain hope for part of the purse. On the report of the patrol judge the stewards conducted an investigation of the roughing that unseated lOllis and after calling Maiben before them they ordered the disqualification and punished Maiben with a suspension of five days. Rupee with the advantage of a thorough seasoning in Maryland proved best of the cheap ones that met in the mile and seventy yards of the fifth race. He made the pace all the way and was still clear of his rivals at the end. to beat Busovia with Mrs. P. J. Lavins old Valor the one to race third. From a good start Rupee at once jumped into the command and Curland wont after him under a steadying restraint while Valor and Rusovia were not far away. Sande had such a nice hold of Curland in the run through the back stretch that it seemed he could go to the leader at the first asking. But Rupee had no intention of coming back and when Sando shook up Curland the old son of Colden Maxim was not there and began to tire badly. Then it was that Valor and Rusovia came into the picture but they could not wear down Rupee.
