Mrs. Elizabeth N. Grahams Maine Chance Farm, which has suffered any number of setbacks this season, was dealt an exceedingly crushing blow during the runnings of the 0,000 Hyde Park Stakes and the 5,000 Princess Doreen Stakes here this afternoon. In the twin features, which was witnessed by a crowd of 27,750, here eJt Pilot, who appeared to have claim on the two-year-old championship, went down to a crushing defeat in the Hyde Park, while the Princess Doreen found her queenly Beaugay failing in her comeback to the turf after winning distinction of acclaim as the best two-year-old to race last season. Two rank outsiders, Claude C. Tanners Colonel OF and Christiana Stables Sea Snack, were the shocking winners of the headliners. Colonel OF turned in a snappy performance to score a notable victory in the Hyde Park by finishing well clear of W. Veenemans Tweets Boy, with W. G. Helis Cosmic Bomb taking the show. In the Princess Doreen, Sea Snack drove to a thrilling victory over Beaugay, while Allen and Estrins Roman Belle took the show money. Colonel OF., picked up 119 pounds and stepped over the five and one half furlongs on the good track in 1:06. Although he had previously won the Lay-fayette Stakes at Keeneland, although beaten subsequently by Preoccupy in the Joliet Stakes at Lincoln Fields at Hawthorne. Colonel OF., was completely overlooked in the wagering and was better than 30-1 when the field was sent on its way. Jet Pilots Downfall Stuns Crowd The downfall of Jet Pilot, who had scored four consecutive victories before coming here for the Hyde Park, left the gathering stunned. They had established him an odds-on favorite and expected him to lead his young rivals a merry chase. The promising Maine Chance colt did show some speed but not enough. He was first out of the starting gate, but was soon joined by Tweets Boy and this pair dominated the early running. Preoccupy failed to break with his usual alertness and dropped out of contention almost immediately, while Education flashed enough speed to be among the first three on the turn and in a contending position. Colonel OF, in the meantime, was not too far out of it, but Steve Brooks had not decided yet to make a run at the top ones. As they arrived at the head of the stretch, Jet Pilot began to display signs of distress and this allowed Tweets Boy to open a clear advantage, but a black streak emerged from the pack and soon joined him. The Colonel forged into a slight advantage nearing the eighth pole, neatly put away Tweets Boy in a short brush, then drew away. Cosmic Bomb, who was well up most of the way, made a hard bid during the late stages, but was unable to close in on the leaders. Jet Pilot wound up fifth and Education seventh, and Preoccupy ninth. The Princess Doreen was a lively struggle from the word go. With no less than 15 horses competing over the six furlongs, an auxiliary stall starting gate was brought into play to send the field away. Starter Roy Dickerson caught the field on its toes and they all dashed out as a team. After the field settled into stride in the shuffle for position, it was Beaugay who Continued on Page Thirty Colonel OF, Sea Snack Stage Arlington Upsets Tanner Colt Wins Hyde Park and Filly Scores in Princess Doreen Continued from Page One forged into a noticeable lead, but Plucky Maid, whom Alfred Vanderbilt sent here especially for the race, spurted up with fine speed and it wasnt long before she was clear. Beaugay dropped back momentarily as if beaten, but Steve Brooks got after her and she once again started to battle it out. As they moved into the stretch turn, Plucky Maid was still out there and Beau-gay attempted to go around the Vanderbilt lassie, but the latter moved out and Brooks quickly decided to dart for the inside. Plucky Maid paid a price for her early efforts and when she began to tire Sea Snack came along to dispute command from the outside. She showed an inclination to bear in towards the rail and as she arrived at the eighth pole she was locked in a hard drive with Beaugay. In the drive to the wire Beaugay proved that she wasnt quite ready for such a tough performance and tired slightly, while Sea Snack drew clear near the finish. Before the result became official, Sea Snack was forced to withstand a claim of foul. Brooks maintained that Beaugay was interfered with during the stretch run, by the winner. Sea Snack, a daughter of Hard Tack Miss Ferdinand, raced over the distance in 1:12, a creditable effort over the tough track that was termed as "good." The second disqualification of the young meeting materialized in the fourth race when S. Rouchers Money King was moved up to first place after finishing second to Mrs. H. J. Damms Forest King, which reversed the order of finish, while M. Wex-lers Porterfield, a first-time starter who was favored, took the show money. Money King was moving along nicely at the head of the stretch and appeared to have dead aim on victory when Forest King, in front of him, stumbled and in losing his balance momentarily he crashed into the colt, who was declared the winner, an outsider in the wagering.
