Y., June 8.— Jamestown, n, I George D. Wideners magnificent son of St. It. i James — Mile. Dazie, had a public trial for r I his meeting with the Greentree Stables Ken- a- • tucky Derby winner, Twenty Grand, at Bel- •1- 1 mont Park today. This was in the Colin n Purse, a condition affair, for three-year-olds, I in which he was opposed by Joseph E. Davis » Gigantic and Walter J. Salmons Mad Career. Naturally, the race was nothing more than n ] a good trial for the son of St. James. He e won with ease and in the sloppy going g finished the nine furlongs in 1:52 to be e i worked out the full mile and a quarter in n « 2:07%. It was a move that was decidedly t impressive, as have been all of the moves of f this great colt, both in public and in private, J, s and it tended to set at rest any lingering g i doubts of his ability to race a mile and a a i half, the Belmont distance. t The heavy rains of Sunday night drenched d a the course and the races were run in sloppy y f going and it was good sport, though the e a crowd was a small one. r DISPLAYS FINE SPEED. In the Colin Purse little time was lost t o at the start and McAtee at once permitted d t Jamestown to go into a lead over the other r b two. When the big fellow was racing along % n he took a good hold and simply romped d a fast quarter in :23% and three furlongs s v in :354/f,. Mad Career was in second place e v and Renick had Gigantic in the rear, lengths s p back. McAtee had a strong hold of the bay y t as he wt-nt to the half mile post in :48Ms fc I and he reached the five furlongs post in 1:01. .. p The six furlongs were run in 1:12% and it t p was there Gigantic began to make up p ground. ii The Davis colt readily disposed of Mad I I v Career and turning into the stretch he was 3 1 in second place. McAtee had never taken i • his hands from Jamestowns withers, and 1 tl the colt was galloping fast at the end of f o the mile in 1:39%. The mile and a furlong j v was completed in 1:52, to see him past the ; line winner by three and a half lengths, , le and he went along just as strong for the tc next furlong to complete the mile and a i w quarter easily in 2:07%. - Coming back to the scales Jamestown ! was still full of run, and the race was one = that should do considerable good in his final preparation for his meeting with k Twenty Grand. ; /I This victory brings the total winnings of the son of St. James to 81,435, of which J he has 9,510 this year with the two over- ■ P night purses and the Withers with its value of 7,300. MORUSH IN FRONT. Benjamin Blocks Morush, a juvenile sister of Morshion, was rather a handy winner of the opening five furlongs race through the Widener course. She was chased home cl by Altmark. from the Audley Farm Stable, ci with C. V. Whitneys Teach Me saving third ra from Mrs. John Hertzs Well Heeled. m Morush was in the front division all the of way, and was probably aided by the muddy condition of the track. A sixteenth from the H finish she was joined by Altmark. but she bl readily outran the colt in the final stages, m to win going away by two and a half lengths, se Teach Me raced well throughout, and, while cl; beaten by two lengths for second place, was th the five lengths before Well Heeled. The latter ne tired badly in the going after showing early Hi Speed. ha has There came something of a surprise in wl the second race when C. V. Whitneys Mag-nifico could do no better than third, being de beaten by both Sir Johren. from the Ca- tu tawba Stable, and Dr. Irving Jacobs Sun on ond Mission. The only other starter was Eddie wi will Ahearn. a stablemate of the winner. so so At the start Magnifico, as usual, left the on only machine so sluggishly that he was at some Gr disadvantage. The Catawba Stable pair were 1 away alertly, and they opened up a long de. early lead over Sun Mission, which was Bo showing the way to Magnifico by something mc mont more than a length. inj ing Heading for the stretch turn both Sun Ge Mission and Magnifico had drawn up on the fir first leaders.

With the ground saved, Magnifico finished in a fashion that made him look all over the winner, but in the final strides he tired badly, and Sun Mission, racing gamely, was just a stride short of catching Sir Johren at the end to be beaten by a nose. Magnifico was at the heels of Sun Mission, and Eddie Ahearn was easing up soundly beaten. The first of the two mile races for cheap platers was run as the third and it saw J. L. ONeals Cockrill the winner over Thomas M. Cassidys Bubsy C, with John Helf-steins Street Singer beating As Fair for third easily. Wonderful and Bubsy C. were the ones to set the pace and in the early stages drew away into a lead of three lengths. Taoa was in third place and Cockrill was fourth in back of him, though he had begun from outside the stalls and beaten the others away slightly. It was going to the stretch turn that Cockrill caught Taos to move into third place, but Wonderful and Bubsy C. were still well clear of Street Singer, which was improving his position. Taos had dropped back well beaten. In the final furlong Wonderful quit as though not ready for a mile race and Cockrill moved up on Bubsy C. The finish was a good one and Cockrill proved the gamer to be winner by half a length. Street Singer saved third from As Fair by four lengths, but he was six lengths back of the first two. The best horse was beaten in the fifth race, a dash through the Widener course, when Mrs. Lucille B. Harris Cambal was third to Jolly Pilot, from the Audley Farm Stable, and the Rancocas Stables Deduce. The other starters left in good fashion, but Cambal was not under way until he seemed to be hopelessly out of the race. Jolly Pilot began fast and he was the one to force the pace and Blond Knight and Deduce raced after him. In the final sixteenth Cambal was gaining fast to just miss landing in second place by a neck, but Jollyy Pilot was past the line winner by two and a half lengths. It was in the final strides that the unfortunate Cambal took third from Blond Knight by a nose. The second of the mile races for cheap ones was the offering at the end of the card. This saw old Croyden the winner for Steve Ryan, but he was lucky to score, for as the race was run Mrs. John Hertz His Last was best and, after being away last, he closed a big gap to only be beaten by half a length.
