JEWELL DORSETT IS VICTRESS Accounts for the Jacobite Handicap, Main Event at Jamaica. Jockey Johnny Longden Pilots Three Winners and Haas Two Ideal Weather Conditions Prevail. NEW YORK, N. Y., Oct. 14. Joe W. Browns Jewell Dorsett, daughter of Cohort Michigan Girl, came back with another good race at Jamaica today, when she was winner of the Jacobite Handicap, a dash of six furlongs offered by the Metropolitan Jockey Club for those of Class D in the graded handicaps. Setting all the pace, she won by a comfortable margin over David Butlers Bulwark, and the only other starters were J. S. Rileys Sweepstaff, and Maeriel, from the Macmere Farm, which followed as named. Conditions were ideal for the sport and an unusually large crowd was out for an off-day. Form was fairly well observed and the sport was excellent. There was really not much to the feature sprint when Haas at once rushed Jewell Dorsett into a clear lead, and when she had run an opening quarter in :23 she was three lengths in front. There, she was taken hold of, but she added another length to her lead when she raced to the half in :47. Sweepstaff was racing along in second place, and he was a good five lengths before Maeriel, while Westrope, who had left the post in motion with Bulwark, permitted him to drop to a distant last. GAINS GROUND RAPIDLY. These positions were maintained to the stretch, and there, Bulwark began to make up ground rapidly. It was no trick to put Maeriel away and, inside the final furlong, he ran down Sweepstaff with no greater trouble, to beat him four lengths for second place, but I he was still three lengths back of the brown j filly. It is doubtful if Bulwark could have beaten Jewell Dorsett under a different ride, but he surely would have been a whole lot closer had Westrope made an earlier move with the son of Bull Dog. The second-best race of the day was a six furlongs dash for juvenile platers of the better quality. It went to the public choice when Townsend B. Martins filly Throttle Wide led home Martin Wormers Tiberius and, while she won by a length and one-half, Yarberry was utterly unable to keep her straight in the closing stages and she was bearing out badly. William Gates Spanish Jean was a distant third, beating Michigan Flyer for that part of the purse. There was an unusual delay at the post, for which Tiberius and Scandalous were to blame. Eventually they were both placed outside the stalls, and when the field was sent away Tiberius was in motion, while Scandalous was a rather bad last. MODEST QUEEN IMPROVES. Modest Queen from the Snow White Stable, and racing in greatly improved form, was winner of the opening six furlongs dash for plater two-year-olds. She was played with confidence, closing at 18 to 5 after having been as good as 7 to 1 in the market. Ridden by Johnny Longden, she won by a goodly margin over Raymond Bretons Spanish Dot, a long shot and Spanish Mammon closed some ground to take third. Johnny Longden brought home his third winner of the day when after a hard stretch drive he scored with Enchanted in the sixth offering. Slattern, which fought it out with the winner, set all the pace and it was only in the closing strides that she faltered to lose by a short head. Third went to Charming Herod, but he was six lengths back of the battling pair.
