SUN BEAU IN LIMELIGHT • Qualifies for Dwycr Stakes in Taking Carbuncle Handicap. « ■act Marked by Disqualification, Byrd Being Sot Back Af!or Finishing Third — Winfield Steeplechase to Bangle. NEW YORK, X. Y., June 27.— Willis Sharpe Kilmers Sun Beau qualified for the Dwyer Stakes, to be run on Saturday, when he took up 120 pounds in the Carbuncle Handicap, at one mile, at Aqueduct today and beat a good field. He was carrying ten pounds over the scale weight and his performance was a decidedly impressive one. There was a disqualification in the running when Mrs. Vanderbilts Byrd, after finishing third to Sun Beau and Tantivy, was set back and that position awarded to Taras Hall. This ruling came for the reason that Pascuma, on Byrd, had both Filemaker and Tantivy in close quarters and interfered seriously with the latter in the stretch run. This race was not the feature of the day, but it was of especial interest by reason of Sun Beaus performance. The feature of the afternoon was the Winfield Steeplechase Handicap and it resulted in a victory for Thomas Hitchcocks good imported four-year-old Bangle, which, under top weight and admirably ridden by A. C. Bostwick, was returned the winner. The Carbuncle Handicap saw nine starters under silks and from a good start it was Filemaker that went out to force the pace, but Tantivy, beginning from the outside position, was rushed : ound and soon had taken the command swinging out of the back stretch. Robertson rushed him along to such good advantage that when the stretch was reached he was next to the inside rail. Sun Hawk, a stablemate to Filemaker, moved up into second place on the stretch turn and Byrd also came into a contending position. ■ These two had Robertson driving to hold his lead with Tantivy and Pascuma came over until he had the Whitney gelding almost on the rail. It was while this was going on that Craig-myle made his move further out on the track with Sun Beau and the colt fairly ran over the others in the final eighth to be winner by two lengths. Tantivy had saved second plat s by a length and Byrd was just a length before Taras Hall, which was later awarded that part of the prize. Pascuma was also punished with a suspension of three days for his rough riding. ASOTHER VIRGINIA VICTORY. Sixteen plater juveniles went to the post for the opening five-eighths dash, which resulted in another of the Virginia victories when Billy Garth sent We to the post for Admiral Grayson. She made her winning rush in the last sixteenth and was going away at the end, while C. V. B. Cushmans Take Your Time raced to second place and Clarence Buxtons Sea Bright saved third. Irish Holiday, starting from the outside, rushed into a long lead early and crossed over to the inside, but tired and quit when the real test came, while We came away to win with something to spare. The victory of Bangle in the Winfield Steeplechase Handicap, over the short course, was a Thomas Hitchcock triumph of importance and also was a triumph for the gentleman rider A. C. Bostwick, who had the mount. The English son of Golden Orb and Nought was shouldering 160 pounds, was good enough to force the pace under this burden and, snugly ridden by Mr. Bostwick, was winner by a half dozen lengths. This added another ,225 to the Hitchcock score for the season. Jefferson Livingstons Rabel, also an out-lander, raced to second place when he out-gamed the Brookmeade Stables Freddenrock for that part of the purse. Joseph E. Wid-eners Be Fair was a distant fourth, and Mrs. C. B. Cushmans Ragweed last of the small company. The third race was a mile and a sixteenth, for maidens. It brought one of the best finishes of the day when W. Lt. Hernstadts Grier of Spain just beat home H. P. Whitneys Sageboys, with W. R. Coes Caesarion a close third. Sageboys, beginning well, was the one to dash out in the lead and McGovern sent him along at a sprinting clip until he was well out from the others. Grier of Spain was leading the others, and it was a fairly close bunch, though Panther had been last to leave the barrier and he had scant racing chance. Sageboys held his lead and McGovern did not give him a chance to take a long breath. He saved ground on the stretch turn and was still clear, but an eighth out the sprinting tactics were beginning to tell and the field was gaining on him resolutely. Grier of Spain was lapped on the son of Chicle, and Caesarion had worked his way through until he was a fast going third. BY SMALL MAB60T. Right to the end the three battled it out, where Grier of Spain was just winner by a head, and Sageboys had only saved second place from Caesarion by a nose. Three lengths further back Don Q., from the Sagamore Stable, after apparently having no excuse, finished fourth. The fifth was a five-eighths dash for two-year-old maidens and a dozen of them went to the post. This resulted in a victory for Marine Compass, from Samuel D. Riddles Glen Riddle Farm Stable, when he beat John Maddeas Farmer by a narrow margin, and Sin Cuidado saved third from Black Watch, a stablemate to the winner. In this Admiral Graysons Film jumped in the air and wheeled as the barrier went up, bolting to the outside to be left at the post. As the race was run it appeared that Farmer was best, but G. Rose could not give him the proper support at the end, while Marine Compass, saving ground on the inside, came away in a drive in game fashion. Sin Cuidado and Black Watch both raced forward!- throughout, but each was tiring at the end. At the end of the program Frank Kearns I Hope So was winner over a big field of cheap ones in a six and one-half furlongs dash. Agapanthus, racing for W. E. Martin, raced to second place, and third went to Bramabiau, from the Ascot Stable. I Hope So began fast and was Rood enough to show the way to the finish, while Agapanthus was second throughout, though doing his be?t at the end.
