Fashion — Fifth Race a Farce With Only Two Starters. NEW YORK, N. Y., April 24.— For the third time in the history of the Suffolk Claiming Stakes the Richard T. Wilson silks were victorious today a.. Jamaica. In 1916 Straight Forward was winner, then in 1925 the same prize was taken down by Cannae, while yesterday Carnivorous, a home-bred daughter of Campfire, brought the score to three. The Suffolk Claiming Stakes is a five-eighths mile dash, worth ,100 to the winner, and this latest of the Wilson winners was the easiest winner of all three when she scored by half a dozen lengths. Second place went to Mrs. Louise Viaus Omareen, and third was the portion of Frank Brays Stand By. The others were well strung out and had cut little figure in the running. Conditions had improved greatly for the sport and. while the going was heavy from the drenching rain of Monday, there was bright sunshine, a rise in temperature and a goodly crowd was out. The program called for two juvenile races, while another saw only two horses go to the post. In the two-horse race Arabia slipped and fell with Ratti while at the barrier and, running away, went through a gap. There was a tedious delay before she was brought back to the post. There were eleven went to the post in the Suffolk Claiming Stakes, the Wilson silks being represented by Forest Fairy, the sister to Great Timber, as well as Carnivorous. This one was considered the better of the two, but she finished last, while her stablemate was winner. Stand By wras first to show from a good start, but Leonard rushed Carnivorous along to such good advantage that she soon raced past the gelding to go into a good lead. Forest Fairy was close a*, hand and, for an instant, it seeme1 that the silks would finish first and second Then Forest Fairy tired so badly that she was eventually cased up by Maiben to finish lavt, as has been told. Through the stretch Stand By shortened stride in an alarming fashion and Omareen, which had been racing forwardly, wore him down without much trouble, but he could not threaten the winner. As it was, Kcbay had to ride Stand By out t" save third place by a length from Geoanded. Maurice from the stable of J. W. Bean and with Workman in the saddle was winner of the opening three-quarters mile dash, when he led home C. V. B. Cushmans Supersede, with Frank Kearns Red Spider just saving third from the Rosedale Stables Tin Hat. Maurice, alert at the start and showing a decided liking for the heavy going, was rushed into a good lead at the rise of the barrier and nursed along in the lead, was Continued on fourteenth page.

Tin Hat chased after the e winner in the early stages, but he gave way to Supersede before the stretch was reached * and the latter kept Maurice busy at the end A to be winner by a length. Through the last eighth Tin Hat tired badly and Rod Spider, slipping through on n the inside, was just up to take third by a a head, but he was four length back of the e first two. The others followed along in a strung out it order after having cut no figure in the e running. There came a double for the Richard T. P. Wilson silks when at the end of the program n Bigot was winner from a big field of maidens. This was a three-quarters dash and, as the race was run. William Woodwards Cam-panini 1- was plainly best, but after being badly y messed about by McAuliffe, Maiben outrode le him at the end when he should surely have e been the winner. G. C. Winfreys Flying g Sweep was third. The crazy antics of Arabia, from the New-tondale J- Stable, resulted in the mile and a sixteenth c- of the fifth race being much of a a joke with G. C. Winfreys Easy Money, an n easy winner. _ e * A n a a e it e T.

Then the filly ran away and it was all of fifteen minutes before she was caught somewhere back among the stables by "Red Coat" Murray and returned to the starting point. That was bad enough, but she was crazier than ever when she came back and when the barrier was released she bolted to the outside fence, while Easy Money was whipped away vigorously by Gotterup. This took Easy Money into a long lead and the filly could never get anywhere close. Ratti drove her through the back stretch, but when he found it useless he eased up and Easy Money won alone. Rather a good band went to the post for the mile and seventy yards Spinalong Purse, and it marked the first public appearance of two candidates for the Kentucky Derby in Gif-s. ford A. Cochrans lenite and Mrs. Vaader-le hilts War Flier. Incidentally of the five" that started there were three sons of Man o War and it narrowed to a fight between two of them when Son o Battle, from the Carlton Stable, just beat home Genie, while William Ziegh-r. Jr.s, Gerfalcon was a rather distant third, beating Gormond and War Flier. Genie w-as the one to set the pace and his was a first-class effort, though he was beaten in the final strides. Gerfalcon wvnt after him in the early racing and War Flier was up in third place, while Son o Battle, after losing some ground at the first turn, dropped back rather badly, though he was leading Gormond. McCoy, who had the mount on Son o Battle, seemed to stay dangerously far from the pace with the four-year-old, but he had plenty of horse under him and when the stretch turn was reached and Genie went out a bit he rushed the Carlton Stable colt up on the inside. An eighth out Genie and Son 6 Battle were closely lapped and Genie was not ready to quit by any means. He responded gamely to the call of Kelsay and right to the end the pair were locked and fighting it out resolutely, but Son o Battle had a bit more left and he dropped his head down in front in the last sixteenth and kept it there to the end. This final duel took the pair of them out five lengths before Gerfalcon, which in turn, beat Gormond by a length and a half and War Flier was eased up when well beaten. T. W. OBriens Yirmar, a son of Westy Hogan, that raced at New Orleans, was winner of the five-eighths race for two-year-olds that was the second offering. Sande had the mount and it marked his first victory since his reinstatement by the Maryland Itacing Commission. H. P. Whitneys Lew Black was the one to race to second place, while third went to the Rancocas Stables I.eucite. when he beat the Greentree Stables Irish Holiday, one that was highly thought of before the running. The start was not exactly a good one for the reason that The Worker, from the Dor-wood Stable, wheeled as the barrier rose and was left the post. Irish Holiday and Yirmar were both away well and they were rushed into a good lead in the first eighth, racing well lapped. Lew Black was in third place and Leucite. under steady restraint, rated along back of the Whitney colt.
