T. M. DORSETTS DEBUT Continued from first page. place for Pilot Biscuit by half a length. Her final time of 1:00 equalled the best of the meeting for the distance. The Rosedale did not offer much as a spectacle. The triumphant daughter of Jamestown Slapstick left the post like a shot and had her company whipped lefore half the journey had been completed. She reached the stretch well in advance of her nearest rival and Wright had only to coast through the final furlong. Ranchos Girl, recently unsuccessful in the Bowie Kindergarten, turned in a game effort to gain the place. She was driven into tnird position on the turn and disposed of Scurry at the top of the stretch, hanging on well in the last sixteenth to withstand Pilot Biscuit. The latter did not break as quickly as last Saturday, but finished well and ran about as good a race from a time standpoint. Scurry had plenty of speed, but tired, while Ida Rogers showed no more than a flash. Fairy Chant was shipped over from Maryland for the race, with owner William du Pont making the trip. The reason for the journey did not become evident in the running. WHEATLEY STABLE COLORS. Wheatley Stable colts were first and second in the opening dash for juveniles when Jim Fitzsimmons sent out Merry Knight and Devils Crag, to finish in that order. Merry Knight had profited in education from and previous start at the meeting, while Devils Crag was making his first appearance under silks. The team was always held favorite in the market and went to the post at 9 to 20. Merry Knight won all the way with plenty to spare, when he led his stablemate over the line by four lengths, but the son of Diavolo ran a particularly impressive race, . when he came from last place to nose out B. F. Whitakers Gannet for the place. A length and a half back of the Whitaker colt, George D. Wideners Seasonal saved fourth from Simkoe, and the only other starter was Jacodra. There came two winners in a row for the Wheatley Stable, trainer Jim Fitzsimmons and Johnny Longden when Black Legion galloped home in the six furlongs dash that was the second offering. The son of Cohort, like the Wheatley team in the first race, was an crlincr Tincf 11 t" 9f nr nn nhnfna ". VlQ of This was an easy score and Shuchor, from the Paragon Stable was the one to race to the place, while Mrs. Ethel D. Jacobs Hen-ryels Pick just saved third from Jacaroo. CHANT DOR SURPRISES. J. M. Roeblings Chant DOr was a surprise winner of the Flushing Purse, a dash of six furlongs that was confined to the three-year-olds. The Greentree Stables One by One, which had started at 11 to 20, was second and third went to Samuel D. Riddles Snow, with Matterhorn a distant fourth. The start was a good one, but as the field left the stalls One By One was crossed and James was forced to take up, losing many lengths, and before he could find racing room he was only heading one horse, Matterhorn. One By One finished with good courage and ran down Snow to take the place by a head, but he was a half length back of Chant DOr. Wayne Wright rode his second winner when he brought J. S. Summers White Hot home winner in the sixth, a handicap for those of class "C," over the mile and a sixteenth route. K. A. Veits Sun Inplay raced to the place with B. F. Christmas Unheralded easily saving third from Be Quaint. White Hot was held at 7 to 2 in the betting and Sandy Boot, the favorite, ran a dull race to beat only one horse. Sun Inplay was the one to cut out the running, and Longden took him into an early lead of three lengths. He was still enjoying such a lead as he rounded from the back stretch when he suddenly bore out rather badly. As the stretch was reached he came in again but the running out cost him the purse. Then, in the run through the stretch, Sun Inplay came again, and he was running over horses at the end to take the place, but he was two lengths back of the Summers gelding and just three parts of a length before Unheralded, which closed with good courage.
