FIELD DAY FOR MAX HIRSCH 1 . — _ Saddles Four Winners at Aqueduct, Including Crystal Broom, Taras Hall, One Hour and Clatter — Jockey Schreiner Shares Triumph ♦ NEW YORK, N. Y., June 18. — Max Hirsch and his good apprentice rider George Schreiner had a field day at Aqueduct today when the combination accounted for four races, including the Union Claiming Stakes, which was the feature of the afternoon. The first winner came in Clatter, the Bernard Baruch juvenile that had been so unlucky on various occasions. Next came A. C. Schwartz One Hour, when she took the second best race of the afternoon. Then came the best of the lot when E. M. Byers Taras Hall galloped off with the Union, and finally Crystal Broom. The track was at its best and the weather delightful for the sport. The condition?! resulted in a big attendance. Only five went to the post for the Union Claiming Stakes, which had a value »of ,050 to the winner, but the field was a good one for a seven-eighths race and there was some diversity of opinion before post time. No time was lost at the barrier and as it rose Taras Hall was first to show, but he almost at once surrendered the lead to Nursery Rhymes and then Burning Glass headed him, but Schreiner held his rail position with the son of Donnacona and had him under slight restraint. Henrietta Wildair further out from the rail was going well and leaving the back stretch Bystander was the only one back of Taras Hall. When Moon shook up Henrietta Wildair going to the stretch turn the filly ran out so badly that her every chance vanished. Then it was that Schreiner made his first move with Taras Hall. There was an opening on the inside and he sent his mount up to such good advantage that in a few strides he was showing the way. Once in front, there was nothing to it but sit still. The others were all driving back of the son of Donnacona an eighth from home, and Schreiner had only to hold him together to have him home first by half a dozen lengths. Right at the end Burning Glass outstayed Nursery Rhymes for second place, while the others followed along well beaten. Clatter, after many misfortunes in her previous races, finally escaped from the maiden class in the opening five-eighths race, for maiden juveniles when she easily led home George D. Wideners Recognition, with John Maddens Mae Quince racing third. There were nineteen went to the post, and Mae Quince was most alert at the rise of the barrier and, racing into th ? lead, she was the one to force the pace • ntil well inside the final eighth. Recognition, racing along on the inside, was in second place, while Clatter was more or less bottled up in the early stages. It was not until the final sixteenth that Clatter found comfortable racing room and she c.me through to win going away by two lengths. Just r head separated Recognition from Mae Quince, the Madden filly quitting badly right at the end. There is no stopping the Thomas Hitch-cook steeplechasers. The popular green silks were again victorious when Belphegor led home rather an ordinary band in the short course affair that was the second race. Continued on twenty-fourth page. FIELD DAY FOR MAX HIRSCH Continued from first page. At the end he was galloping along ten lengths before Rip, from the Raritan Stable, and twenty lengths further away Jefferson Livingstons Rig Veda easily saved third from Father Holt, one of the H. Escott starters. Stop Flirting, the stablemate of Father Holt, came next, and then came J. E. Davis Kathleen Crosby. The only other starter was Oiseau dOr, from the Log Cabin Stud Stable, and he came down two jumps from the finish while in a contending position. From a good start Stop Flirting was rushed out in the lead, but she did not stay there long and when she stumbled badly at the sixth jump her chances went glimmering. Rig Veda and Oiseau dOr were both a bit rank in the early racing and they were being snatched back, while McNamee was placing Belphegor with less trouble and he had him well within striking distance. At one time or another almost every starter was showing the way, but in the second turn of the field it was old Rip that drew away until he looked all over a winner. That was before McNamee had called on Belph.gor. As he did the latter caught him easily and then raced past and the race was over. In the meantime Pierce had Oiseau dOr all over the course in an effort to place him, but in the front field the last turn of the course he was in third place, behind Belphegor and Rip, and going well when he went down, as has been told, two jumps from the end. Max Hirsch sent his second winner of the day to the post when he saddled A. C. Schwartz One Hour for the one mile thirtl race, a condition affair for three-year-old fillies. She was so much best that the result was never in doubt and she led home Darkness, from the Rappahannock Stable, with Nixie of the Wheatley Stable racing third before the Audley Farm Stables Princess Tina. The only other starter was Catsplay, racing for the Greentree Stable. Max Hirsch and George Schreiner went right along on their winning ways, when Crystal Broom was home winner of the five-eighths race for juveniles that was the fifth. In this, young Schreiner showed a degree of both skill and riding energy to bring the son of Golden Broom home winner by a narrow margin over Samuel Ross Lady Capulet, while Soul of Honor, from the Audley Farm Stable, was rather a distant third. In this, Scalawag, from the Madden string, played an important part in the early running, but he lost much ground on the elbow of the course, while both Crystal Broom and Lady Capulet were well to the inside, the filly racing along on the inner rail. In the last sixteenth, there was a lively fight between Crystal Broom and Lady Capulet, and Schreiner had his mount first home by a head. Soul of Honor had been more or less bottled up on the inner rail for most of the race, but he tired badly.
