Jimmy Stout, the Winning Rider, Presented With Bouquet of New Worlds Fair Roses, by Harry M. Stevens. NEW YORK, N. Y., June 15.— Thellusson, the roan son of Gallant Fox and Tetra Lass, which was so mean as a two-year-old that trainer James "Sunny Jim" Fitzsimmons could not get him ready for racing, rang up his third consecutive score by winning the most attractive race of todays program at Aqueduct. Showing nothing but speed, class and nice manners, this Belair Stud three-year-old won the mile race by six lengths. The time was 1:37, one second short of the track record. The Aqueduct feature was run as the fourth race of the day and carried the name of The Gardens on Parade Purse. The winning rider, Jimmy Stout, walked off after the race with a bouquet of the new "Worlds Fair" roses, presented by Frank Stevens of Harry M. Stevens, Inc. The Gardens on Parade Purse brought postward a half-dozen better than average three-year-olds, with Thellusson the choice at 6 to 5. SMALL FIELD. The small field got off to a perfect start, with Joseph E. Wideners Rodin first in motion. This colt was accompanied closely by White Mask and Thellusson. It was only a matter of seconds until Stout had the des-! tined winner on the head end. At the quar-] termile mark, the Gallant Fox colt was only head to the good, but by the time he had gone a half he was leading by two lengths and was under double wraps. White Mask, from the S. A. Warner Bal- tazzi barn, forced the pace all the way to the top of the stretch, while Irish Echo ran third. In the final quarter, Thellusson came away from his rivals, even though his rider never asked him to cut loose. Deck, which had been next to last to the head of the home lane, finished with a good burst of speed to earn second share of the purse. Three lengths farther back in third place was Irish Echo. Rodin finished fourth, White Mask fifth and Chalmac sixth and last. The fractions were: :23, :46%, 1:112;. One of the greatest finishes of the year came out of the six and one-half furlongs of the Dunlin Handicap. It was fashioned for those of Class D, and when four of the five that performed were only separated by noses, it testified to the handicapping skill of Jack Campbell. GETS PHOTO VERDICT. Ben F. Whitakers Rock Maker, the favorite, earned the camera decision over T. J. Healeys Black Look and Mintson, from the Clifford Stable, with Miss M. Manyas James N. in the close bunch. The only other starter was May R., which folded up in the stretch after being used up setting the pace. Black Look was unfortunate at the start and that cost him the purse, for as he went into the air slightly he was lengths back of the other four before he was in motion. Meade made every use of the speed of May R., and as a result, while she led into the stretch, it had cost a big effort. Rock Maker was hanging to second place and Mintson had moved into third position, with Black Look still three lengths back in last place when he reached the straightaway. May R. was through a furlong from the fin- ish and there Rock Maker took the lead, but the others were closing on him steadily and the stirring finish resulted. Apprentice R. W. Smith is due here on Friday morning from California to report to W. E. Boeing for whom he will ride. The boy was ordered East by trainer Horning. A-
