Y., July 14.— Deduce, the consistent campaigner that races for Mrs. Henry Ughetta, upset calculations in the Knickerbocker Handicap at the Yonkers course today when, in a driving finish, he led the Maemere Farms Somebody past the line. But the surprise of the victory did not compare with the astonishment in Somebody beating the others of the company. C. V. Whitneys Halcyon came with a rush at the end to take third, and he was another that was not accorded a serious chance. • Back of these were Tick On, Black Buddy, Faireno, winner of the Empire City Handi- ■ cap; Vicar, his stablemate, and Chatmoss. * Each of these was generally conceded a better chance thin any one of the three that divided the prize that carried a net value of ,360 to the winner. 1 One of the largest crowds ever assembled at the Empire City Association course was out for the week-end sport, and the racing afforded many a thrill, with the handicap one of the best of the day. With scant delay at the post, the start was a good one and Coucci at once rushed Black Buddy into command, to have him show the way around the first turn. As the back stretch was reached Deduce was in ■ second place and running strongly, while t Tick On ran third, showing the way to j Somebody. Chatmoss was alongside the Chance Shot colt, and then came Faireno. Vicar and Halcyon were in the rear. J In the run down the back stretch Deduce gradually wore Black Buddy down, to forge « to the front at the half-mile ground. Coucci * held his inside position with the Greentree * Stable colt and he was not through, as 3 Deduce went past and then Tick On moved 1 up on the outside of him. At that stage of the running Tick On was going so easily • that he looked the winner, but when Hum- s phries called on him Coucci shook up Black • Buddy, to hold him in his move. Deduce was still showing the way, but he was being J hunched along by Hunter to keep his lead. • As the stretch turn was reached Hunter went out slightly with Deduce and this gave Somebody his chance. Litzenberger was « quick to take advantage of the opening on J the rail and he rushed the colt through until for a few strides he had Deduce headed, but the Lucullite colt settled down to game racing under the sting of the whip and at J the end had his head in front. Black Buddy tired when called on and Tick On gave way badly, but Halcyon was coming with a great rush in the last furlong and took third from the Bradley hope, but he was three lengths back of Somebody. Faireno ran a dull race, to never be a serious threat, while the performance of Chatmoss was also a disappointment. Coucci had to put up a particularly vigorous finish on the Greentree Stables Cheshire to have him winner over the juveniles that opposed him in the opening five and a half furlongs dash. He ran down Mrs. A. Phillips Anacreon to win while Tor-r frida, from the Brandywine Stable, beat J. P. Smiths Liebchen for third, The start was a good one and Litzenberger aroused Anacreon out to a lead of three lengths. Thorson was racing second and Cheshire third but the Greentree colt was in rather close quarters on the inside and he was soon headed by Torfrida, which had broken a bit slowly. Litzenberger went right along with Ana- creon and she was still well clear as she swung into the stretch. A furlong from the finish she looked a sure winner but Coucci had swung to the outside v ith Cheshire and the son of St. Germans was responding gamely to his drive. Steadily he wore the filly down to be on by and winner by a neck. Torfrida held to third place, but was two lengths back and just a length before Lieb-chen, one that was the medium of considerable play. Thorson had quit rather badly while Black Tassel, the only other starter, had scant speed. The big crowd had a real thrill in the five and three-quarters furlongs dash that was the second offering when Newgro, from the B. B. Stable, the Anall Stables Silk Flag and Nelson I. Aisels Curlette swept over the line closely locked in the order named. It was a bit of an upset for Silk Flag, though he was making his first appearance since the first week in May and had been dropped down to such modest company, he was looked upon as a sure thing. Ridden by Coucci, and furnishing all the pace he only tired in the last few strides to be beaten by a nose. Newgro had been outrun in the stretch but he steadily worked his way up and came with a great rush in the final furlong under a vigorous ride by Chanove, an apprentice of little experience. Curlette had made her challenge at the head of the stretch and she hung on well when only losing the place by a short head. Bally Bay contributed to the defeat of Silk Flag by carrying him along in the early stages, only to tire badly when the stretch was reached and both Transen and Chain raced forwardly until the real test came through the final quarter.
