ONLY ONE BACK IN FORM Makes Successful Return to Races After Absence Since 1935. Easily Accounts for Tolydor Handicap, Main Offering of Mondays Card at Jamaica Bad Weather Prevails. NEW YORK. N. Y., April 26. Mrs. Deer-ing Howes Only One, the fast-running son of Lucullite and Orissa, came back to the races at Jamaica today a good horse, when he was winner of the Polydor Handicap, the six furlongs feature of an interesting card. He had not been to the races since the fall of 1935, a season in which he gave a good account of himself among the best. Trainer Harrison had him fit and ready and Arcaro made no mistakes when he landed him an easy winner over W. A. Carters Kentucky Derby hope, Clodion, and closely lapped on the three-year-old Bill Farnsworth, which carried the silks of Mrs. Marian Cassidy into third place before John Simonettis Sgt. Byrne, the choice of the field. Conditions were disagreeable for the sport when half a gale was blowing down the stretch, which was naturally a big handicap to fast time. However, Only One raced the six furlongs in 1:12and and the manner In which he won indicated he is ready for a longer journey. DOUBLE FOR JACOBS. There was a double for Mrs. Ethel D. Jacobs, her husband, Hirsch Jacobs, and jockey Jimmy Stout when Ethels Choice was winner of the six furlongs dash that was the second offering. She won with something to spare over A. E. Webbers Company, and Justdun, racing for Mr. Pembroke, beat Beautiful for third. Ethels Choice, breaking freely, was rushed into the lead by Stout, and she had speed enough to make every post a winning one, and crossed the line with an advantage of two lengths. There was some little excuse for Sgt. Byrne when he went in the air slightly at the break and was last away. Rebellion left in full stride, and Only One was soon racing strongly after him, while Arcaro had a snug hold on the son of Lucullite. This order was maintained to the stretch, where Arcaro had only to shake up his mount to have him go to Rebellion with little effort. He had established a lead of a length at the furlong post and was going easily at the end with two lengths to spare. CLODION BY HEAD. Bill Farnsworth was racing in third place, but when the stretch was reached Clodion slipped up on the inside to outfinish him and take that part of the purse by a head. Sgt. Byrne, after his slow start, was forced to race wide all the way and closed some ground as he circled around, to be beaten a length for third. Frank E. Browns Gramercy, a three-year-old daughter of Sir Grcysteel and White Glade, was a winner over the maiden fillies that met in the third race, another six furlongs sprint. The finish for the place brought a call for the camera when Mrs. K. Jes-bergers Cherry Ripe and the Brookmeade Stables Celtic Legend battled it out for second place. The photograph confirmed that they finished in the order named and fourth went to Pirate Lass. The second best race of the day was a condition affair at a mile and a sixteenth in which Maeriel, from the Maemere Stable, making his first appearance since the running of the Widener at Hialeah Park, was winner over Corundum, from the Brookmeade Stable, and Star Shadow beat Our Reigh for third. The son of Ariel gave an improved performance over his Florida effort and it contributed to the score when Corona rode Corundum with little judgment, rushing his mount all the way from the break and never permitting him to take a long breath. On the first turn, when Our Reigh was moving on the outside of Corundum, Corona went out badly with his mount, causing Mrs. Hertz gelding to lose considerable ground, away running after acting badly.
