H., July 18— Teralice, fleet and courageous son of Terry and Alice Harris, that races for A Bartelstein, kept his Rockingham Park record unblemished by racing to his third successive victory. The" medium of the four-year-olds latest triumph was the White Mountain Handicap. This was the piece de resistance of todays program at the picturesque course of the New Hampshire Breeders Association. High Glee, in the popular eton blue and Brown of C. V. Whitney, was the one to finish in second place, while Flying Sailor, from the A. A. Baroni establishment, finished third before Dark Hope. Black Hand- was next and Slapdash was last. After a considerable delay at the post caused by the unruly post manners of the Whitney miss, the field was dispatched to a good start. Black Hand and the filly left in the same stride, and went out to show the way. Slapdash was next and Teralice was being steadied along in last place. High plee had moved to the front and "Sonny" Workman was saving all possible ground after swinging from the back stretch. Slapdash had been pinched back, and a quarter mile from home was in last place. Schaefer had started to move up on the outside with Teralice and, before the stretch was reached, was in the thick of the contention. Flying Sailor had been called upon for his best, and also moved up. On the stretch turn High Glee, Flying Sailor and Black Hand were heads apart. Schaefer elected to come to the outside and at the furlong post had succeeded in taking ; a short lead. Once in front, the winner j j drew away steadily. It was a thrilling battle I I for the lesser splits of the purse a few j j strides from the finish. The Baroni rep- j j resentative had High Glee headed and was showing in second place, but right at the end, under strong handling, the Pharamond II. filly forged past Flying Sailor to gain her placing, and Dark Hope, closing fast on the outside, was just a stride short of overtaking the Navigator four-year-old. Teralice was admirably ridden by Louis Schaefer and the victory netted A. Bartelstein ,920 of the ,500 added prize. Mr. and Mrs. C. V. Whitney witnessed the running of the event from the stewards stand. A good-sized mid-week crowd, characteristic of this section, was on hand to witness the fine program, which was presented under ideal conditions and over a fast track. A limit band of a dozen starters went to i the post in the opening dash, a five and a I ! half furlongs event for two-year-olds that had never won a race. The winner turned up in Paper Moon, racing for Mrs. J. H. Whitney. Coming from the second place in the stretch the colt wrested command from Buy Straight and beat her to the end by better than a length. Home Loan, one that raced prominently placed from the begin- ning, took the show position. Buy Straight, hustled into command, drew clear before the first three-sixteenths had been negotiated. Ellis was restraining the winner back in third place. Approaching j the stretch Paper Moon raced into second I position, while Buy Straight was still showing the way. The Whitney colt, when straightened out I | for the run home, wore down the pacemaker j after passing the furlong post and drew away steadily for the remainder of the way. j Migratory, a surprise winner in his pre- vious outing, showed that there wasjiothing flukey about his score by chalking up his second straight over the platers that opposed him in the second. Though the field was gathered from the ranks of the cheaper grade, it furnished a spirited contest, the winner and Meeting Place racing as a team the entire last half mile, with not more than a neck separating them at any time. May- vite, the favorite, was reserved in the early stages, but was always within striking distance of the pace. Near the stretch turn Meeting Place, racing on the inside, showed in front briefly. Parke placed the winner under a strong hand ride and straightening for the run to the finish regained the lead. In the last furlong the leader went along closely locked with Meeting Place, but his head was in front at the finishing mark. Mayvite had moved up through the stretch and was a half length farther away in third place. The winner was lightly regarded, return-; ing 9.50 for the usual ticket. Gay Banner, a fleet daughter of Sun Flag, met with little opposition in capturing the third race on the program. The E. B. Fiske filly, dashing clear of her rivals in the first furlong, had the speed to race clear throughout. The finish found her two lengths in advance of Distribute, racing for Mrs. D. Melanson, while just a nose back the stoutly supported choice, Kai-Finn, was third. After once gaining command, apprentice J. Lynch had only to sit still on Gay Ban- ner. Khamain and Kai-Finn followed in nearest pursuit, but after three furlongs had been run Khamain started to drop back. Kai-Finn took up the chase. He responded gamely to punishment, but never was in a position to endanger the leader and right at the end succumbed to the rush of Distribute.
