I., N. Y., June 29. W. Goadby Loews Case Goods bore out badly, but won the forty-seventh running of the Astoria Stakes today, while Maine Chance Farms hitherto unbeaten Incidentally, also bore out, but failed to recover and beat only one of her five rivals in this five and one-half furlongs test. Case Goods, who was second choice with the crowd of 19,626, reached the finish a little more than two lengths before Alfred G. Vanderbilts When in Rome, who led Woodvale Farms Fancy Diver another three lengths. It was a length more back to Greentree Stables Mainsail, who led the favorite by the same margin, while Wheat-ley Stables Bold Imp brought up the rear, lapped on Incidentally.

The Case Ace filly raced very wide around the turns, letting When in Rome and Mainsail, who stayed close to the inner rail, pass her while Woodhouse was using his stick alongside her head to keep her from going even farther out. Once straightened away for the run home, Case Goods swept past When in Rome and Mainsail with ease, drawing out in the final furlong. When in Rome continued steadily to the finish, while Fancy Diver, who had been sluggish in the early stages of the dash, finished willingly, passing Mainsail without difficulty. Incidentally was still two lengths back of the fifth horse at the eighth pole, but showed a little speed in the final furlong.

Vanderbilt unveiled another aptly named filly in Facts of Life, a daughter of Discovery from Bride Elect, who won the fourth race by almost a length over Philip Godfreys fast-finishing Unbending, who took second money by the same margin over Abe Saltzmans pacemaking Star Show.
