REBELLIONS SMASHING RACET Runs Six Furlongs in 1:12 on Muddy Track to Win Oceanic. Easily Prevails Over Chancing and Gov. Sholtz Trainer H. Jacobs Registers With Three More Winners. NEW YORK, N. Y., April 28. George D. Wideners Rebellion, the unsexed three-year-old son of Jamestown Sovletta, was winner of the best offering of the Metropolitan Jockey Club at Jamaica today when he scored in the Oceanic Handicap, offered for those of class "B" in the graded handicap division. He ran a nice race when he covered six furlongs over the muddy track in 1:12. Philip Biebers Chancing raced to second place, and P. A. Shaws Gov. Sholtz, making his first start of the year, easily beat Warn and Mahdi, the only other starters. With a break in the bad weather that has prevailed, the sun came out and, while the track was still in bad shape from the continued rains, conditions were much more agreeable for the large crowd in attendance. Trainer Hirsch Jacobs was again in the limelight, saddling three more winners. In the Oceanic Handicap Rebellion never left the result seriously in doubt, when Wall at once sent him into a lead of three lengths. Out there, he took hold of the head of the son of Jamestown and rated him along cleverly. Turning into the stretch he swung out to avoid the deep going on the rail and, while he was doing his best as he crossed the line, the winning margin was a length and one-half. Warn and. Chancing raced along closely lapped back of the Widener gelding to the stretch turn, where Warn had enough, and there Wright made an effort to drive the Bieber campaigner through on the inside. For an instant he threatened to run down Rebellion, but Wright had accepted the worst going to save ground, and the son of Chance Play hung badly in the final furlong. CHANCING TIRES BADLY. Warn in the meantime had quit badly, and Gov. Sholtz ran past him with little effort to be third, but he was two lengths back of Chancing. John Hay Whitneys Endymion, the son of Blue Larkspur Loved One won his second race in as many starts when he led home a good band of juveniles in the third event, at five furlongs. It was a race that tested his courage and only after a hard drive did Johnny Gilbert have, him up to earn a close decision over A. H. Watermans Miyako. Far back of the pair Joseph Pepps Sing Low readily beat Bob Smiths Gayset for third. AUSPICIOUS DEBUT. Microphone, the eight-year-old son of Flying Ebony and Broadcast, that races for Mrs. Ethel D. Jacobs, made his first appearance of the year a winning one, when he scored in the opening six furlongs dash. He had been dropped down considerably in value when entered to be claimed for ,500, and when he left in full flight, from a bad start, there was not much to the race. Wright took the old fellow In hand when nicely clear of the field and, never being called on for his best, he was winner by two and a half lengths. The place went to A. E. Webbers Count Rae, which barely nosed out Elwawa. Ten maidens met in the second. This brought a fighting finish, in which John J. Morans Merry Pete outgamed Royal Reigh, from the Brookmeade Stable, to be the winner, with Mrs. C. Oliver Iselins Strabo taking third from Jungle Chase. In the stretch Merry Pete continued to gain on Royal Reigh until they were closely lapped at the final furlong post. From there to the finish Merry Pete proved the gamest to cross the line winner by a length. Hirsch Jacobs saddled his third winner of the day when he sent out Flowery Lady in the final mile and seventy yards, under the silks of H. Bieber. To score the daughter of Hourless led home Paralda that raced for Philip Bieber, a brother of the owner of the winner and favorite of the field. Far back of the leading pair there was a nose finish between Spicy and Donald Duck that made a demand for the camera to decide" that part of the purse. The photograph revealed that Spicy had finished third.
