SOMEBODY FIRST BY HEAD j Turns Tables on Deduce to Capture j 1 Yonkers Handicap in Great Finish. ♦ Empire Citys Saturday Feature Furnishes , Fine Contest for Immense Crowd on i Hand Despite Very Hot Weather. i 1 ] ] NEW YORK. N. Y., July 21.— Somebody, from ths Maemere Farm Stable, which was ! I • such a good second to Mrs. Henry Ughetta!s • Deduce in the running of the Knickerbocker Handicap of the previous Saturday, turned the tables on the son of Lucullite in the running of the Yonkers Handicap, the week-: . end feature of the Empire City Association, at the Hilltop course today. In this running-Deduce only weakened in the closing strides, after making all the pace, and it was C. V. ! Whitneys Halcyon that took third, well before Vicar, which carried the silks of William Woodward. The prize carried a net value of ,320 to the winner. An immense crowd was out for he sport and. while the weather was uncomfortably hot, there were some tempering breezes on the Hilltop that were grateful to the big crowd. Seven performed in the Yonkers, i after Identify, Economic and Chatmoss had been t Withdrawn/ and of these Mr. Woodward was represented by Faireno and Vicar. Somebody had the filly Coequel for a running i | mate and she did her part when she carried Deduce along in the early racing. The start was a good one and Litzenberger sprinted Coequel away from her stall to force the pace. Deduce broke running,, and Coucci had Halcyon away in motion, but from his outside position he was forced to I go a bit wide on the first turn, and he was never able to hold any other position than j one on the outside all through the running. In the back stretch Deduce went into command to lead Coequel by a length before ; the half mile ground was reached. At that stage of the , running Vicar was at the heels of the Woodward filly and Somebody j , followed, with Faireno and Halcyon going I I along well lapped back of him. Lady Reigh brought up the rear, and she was so well out of it as to have no chance. I ■ After rounding into the turn from the back stretch. Deduce had raced Coequel into submission, but it had cost him an effort and Somebody had moved up to be racing , ! closely lapped on him. Vicar was beginning I to weaken and Halcyon was moving strongly , ! on the outside, but a furlong from the finish I it was apparent he would not run down | the two that were showing him the way. i SPARKLING FINISH. j Thiough the last furlong, as Somebody! ! continued to close on Deduce. Hunter went I to a hard drive, but it was of no, avail, and , the son of Chance Shot continued to draw up until right in the last few strides his , nose was in front, and at the line he was winner by a head. Halcyon was two lengths back of the battling pair, but a full five lengths before Vicar, which had easily : beaten the tired Coequel. Faireno had I 1 j stopped utterly, to finish last of the company, with Lady Reigh beating him a length. ! The first race was for maiden two-year-old fillies at five furlongs and it brought out a field of seven, with T. H. Somervilles Pretty Night, well-named daughter of Nocturnal and Flattery, generally accepted as much the best of the band. She was just as much the best as she was considered when she galloped home the winner by ten lengths. Princess Athene, from the Sleepy Hollow Thoroughbred Stock Farm, after breaking slowiy, raced to the place, and third went to Bert Squires Golden Time. Ala nova was more alert than the others away from the post, but she was soon headed by Amusing, and the pair, closely lapped, were showing the way to Pretty Night by a length and a half. Princess Athene, after propping badly at the break, was rushed up on the inside until she was soon running closely after these. Pretty Night readily circled around the leaders to take the lead before the stretch was reached and at the same time Princess Athene moved into second place on the inside. This was the order at the head of the stretch and there Pretty Night drew out to her galloping victory. Swinging for home, Alanova interfered with Amusing rather badly, knocking her out of the contention, and this gave Golden Time her opportunity to take third. UNSEATS HIS RIDER. There was some delay before the start of the second race, a five and a half furlongs dash for two-year-olds, when Desperado unseated Hunter after reaching the post and galloped off riderless. He was caught and returned to the post, and he had shown so little speed in the runaway that it evidently did Httle harm. This race went to Mrs. Louise Viaus Credulous when, after racing into an early lead, he dominated all the running to beat J. H. Louchheims Morpluck with Tangerloo, a stablemate of Desperado beating Mo:sson for third. Tangerloo raced after the winner in the back stretch and Moisson was doing his best to go along in third place. Morpluck had left the post slowly and was badly outrun in the early stages, but was soon steadily making up ground. Credulous was going easily in front, while Moisson, after showing in second place at the head of the stretch, tired badly to drop back from the contention. Morpluck was running over horses at the end to be beaten only a length and a half, and the Louchheim colt only outlasted Tangerloo a neck for the place. Moisson was at the heels of Tangerloo but he had no excuse in the running. Twelve cheap maiden platers met in the third race, and it went to Freshair, from the Ascot Stable, which ran a smart race after being away slowly to come around on the outside to beat Mrs. A. S. Dodds Just Cap over the line, with Matt Colfords Tellwhy outlasting Saladin for third. There was a considerable delay, for which Tenless was largely to blame, and then at the break he jumped in the air and had no chance. The Rake left in full stride and he was the one to cut out the pace, but Troboy was not far back of him, and then came Freshair, though he was forced to go ! I I so wide that he dropped back considerably . i , when the turn was reached. Troboy soon ! I put The Rake sway, and he was the one ; ! ; to ead into the stretch. It was a furlong ! 1 from the finish he tired, and Just Cap ; I i loomed up dangerously, with Tellwhy also I closing strongly, but outside of these Freshair was charging along with a rush that i ! landed him winner by a neck. Just Cap j had beaten Tellwhy a head, and Saladin : I also easily beat the tired Troboy, being i ! lapped on Tellwhy at the end. Little Rosengarten rode his second winner . , of the day when he scored with Mamas ! j Choice for Mrs. Henry Ughetta. Spoilt Beauty, from the B. B. Stable, took second I I , place and the Maemere Farms Bahadur ■ 1 beat Aileen C. for third. There was not much to this running, for • Mamas Choice dashed right into the lead i from the break and she had speed enough to dominate all the running and still have l two lengths to spare at the line. Spoilt ; Beauty was within striking distance for ■ i , I most of the running, but she hung badly when driven, while Longford, after reaching ; ! second place, bore out badly at the stretch i , turn to lose every chance for a share in the purse. Bahadur had saved ground in the stretch i and closed strongly, after having met with I | j some early interference, and he followed j Spoilt Beauty over the line, but beaten a . ! length and a half for second place.
