The feature was the Mechanicsville handicap, for three-year-olds and up- ward, at one mile, in which the top weight, H. Perkin's Dick Williams, was the favorite in a field of four. R. J. MacKenzie, the Canadian sports- man, showed his colors for the first time in this race, the orange and white sash being carried by the im- ported four-year-old colt Faux Col. D. Connelly, who had the mount on Dick Willlams, was in no hurry to go to the front. He rode patiently while Paux Col and Pan Maid were six lengths in front half way along the backstretch. Dick Williams began to move up on the turn, when the pace- makers tired. Connelly had little dif- ficulty in landing his mount a length in front of the fast closing Green Jones. With only four starters in the Still- water handicap steeplechase, the race was one of the best at this meeting. Only Superman failed to finish, and the three that stood up were racing together all through the last half of the long chase. Ral Parr's Robert Oliver, the favorite, was superbly rd- den by Fred Williams, making his run at the finish, so that he took the lead away from Crest Hill after clearing the last jump and won by half a length. The Green Tree stable’s Syos- set was burdened by 155 pounds, which stopped him so that he was beaten five lengths for the place. The scratching of R. T. Wilson, Jr.s, Campfire from ‘the first race left the dash of six furlongs at the mercy of Willis Sharpe Kilmer's Tom McTag- which waited on Marie Miller until the stretch and then came away to win by five lengths. There were a few anxious moments for the backers of the odds-on favor- ite, Little Nearer, in the fifth race at a mile and three-sixteenths. The pop- ular hunt meet performer was shut off on the backstretch and again when he tried to go to the front at the head of the stretch. Trolse finally found an opening on the rail and, once in front, Troise relaxed his efforts so that Little Nearer won by the margin of a head. Some smart two-year-olds turned out for the last race, including Rifle, a son of Uncle-Fleur de Mario. Rifle was outrun from the start and never was close enough to be dangerous. Panaman and Amelita were fighting it out until the stretch, where Buxton, who made his reappearance in the saddle, brought up C. D. Widener's imported colt, Lanius, which opened a gap of three lengths on Amelita.

Strachan and Throckmorton Forced to Bow in Defeat. Southampton, L. I, Aug. 11.— Two notable victories, which carried with them the chief honors in the tennis tournament at the Meadow club, were achieved yesterday by S. Howard Voshell, the national indoor champion. In the morning he played “ so brilliantly and steadily that he brought John R. Strachan of San Francisco to the first defeat that he has suffered since his eastern inva- sion. Three sets were necessary to vanquish the Californian by scores of 26, 6—0, 6—4. In the afternoon Voshell put the crowning touch to his day’s work when he defeated Harold A .Throckmorton in a keenly-played mateh, the score of which was 6—4, 6—4. Both of Voshell’s antagonists were in fine fettle for a stirring match, but they could not combat successfully the resourceful play of Voshell, who whipped his shots across fast and true in the face of rallies by his rivals. It wag this ability to play remarkably well when Strachan and Throckmor- ton were summoning their reserve strength that enabled Voshell to carry off the honors in the two singles matches. Next to the singles events in Inter- est was another East versus West con- test In which Miss Molla, Bjurstedt and Fred B. Alexander opposed Miss Mary K. Browne and John R. Stra- chan. In this the East had once again to bow to the tennis supremacy of the West, for Miss Browne and Strachan earned the decision In straight sets at 6—1, 6—4. The only other match of the day took on the part of an exhibition contest.

EASIEST YET FOR GIANTS N *SOURI St. Lonis Fielders and Pitchers on Day’s Vacation St. Louis, Aug. 11.—Ragged flelding by the Cardinals’ infleld and outfleld behind the ineffective pitching of three boxmen made the Giants’ task easy yesterday, and the New Yorkers galloped away with the third game of the series, and, incidentally, their 'third game in a row from Huggins’ team, winning by the score of 7 to 4.
