Fortunate, indeed, it was fc winner that Greyfeld was practically ft at the post, though through no fault of Mr. Dwyer, for the | chestnut _horse would ~ ass have a all the fame and dollars as well racing luck o nicely adjusted were the weights and | the distance, one and a_quarter miles, so popular, that fully half a dozen owners considered their horses unbeatable. This all served to make the betting good, and the - 21 bookmakers were kept busy. Naturally enough, the Jennings pair, | Vesuvian and Andrisa, the former carry- | ing 118 pounds, équal weights with Ad- | vance Guard, ruled favorites throughout. | Alex Shields felt confident Advance Guard | could do the trick, and advised his friends | to lay it down thick on the iron colt. Pat Dunne seemed satisfied with the 108 allotted Bcales, and with O'Connor in the pilot house, his entry received healthy Burns & Waterhouse started | both Mortgage and Eddie Jones, most re- liance being placed on the mare, with her ninety-nine pound assignment. Phenom- enally fast workouts previous fo the race, and the presence of Bullman in the sad- dle, caused a great plunge to be made | on Greyfeld. “Bob” Smith sald there was no way his horse could be beaten, his | price falling gradually from 5 to 3% to 1. n fact, it could be said he was the real | favorite for the race. At the post Vesu- | vian, as usual, endeavored to perforate | — the atmosphere with his hind heels, and placed on the extreme outside. With v a slight delay Starter cased the barrier to a splendid break- all but Greyfeld. The last- se had been given the outside position, but Johnny Bullman managed to “inch” over into about fourth place from the rail. From the stand it looked as if | just as the barrier flew in the air Bullman had concluded to wheel and pick 3 better position. At any rate, he was practically left, Passing the stand, there was a thun- dering clatter of hoofs, .with Andrisa showing the way, The Fretter at her side, then Eddie Jones, The Lady and the oth- ers closely trailing. With no apparent change in the positions of the leaders down the back _stretch, Sloan lay in seventh place with Vesuvian, his horse only galloping. When a trifle later, he did move up, his mount was mo- mentarily. pocketed. but got through. On the stretch turn, Sloan was compelled to | go very wide, and just here resorted to the whip, the first intimation that he was in trouble. Eddie Jones now became the leader, with Jenkins urging the brown fel- low along. A furlong from the wire Tod strove desperately, to* overtake Jenkins, but Vesuvian was unable to respond fur- ther, and Eddie Jones won comfortably by three lengths in 2:07. Vesuvian eased up somewhat, when Tod saw his case to be hopeless, led The Lady out, piloted by Marty Bergen, half a length for place honors. Advance Guard was fourth and Scales fifth. For some reason, although there 100ked to be no possible chance of winning, Bullman on Greyfeld took after the fi2ld. He was unable to get up to the bunch, but the chestnut horse showed how really good he was, and how unfor- tunate in being left, as he covered the last mile and a furlong in 1:52 flat. Clem Jenkins, for his win astride the game but crippled son of the dead Morel- lo, felt very proud over his achieyement, while Sloan was equally chagrined. Tod. however, later accepted defeat gracefully, “Dick” Dwyer | telling Jenkins after the race that Vesu- vian was beaten far down the stretch. ‘There was a flood of coin in the 3 but the books reaped no great harvest, as the three winning favorites were all well backed. Brutal and Gold Or yere also well supported at remunerative 6dds. The track while good was far from being in lightning-fast condition, the perform- apce of Eddie Jones being the best of the | afterncen. A mile run, decided under selling con- ditions, opened the sport. Dr. Bernays, carrying Dominick and 105 pounds, had a pronounced call in the ring, and through the excellent handling received, won rid- den out from Owensboro by a neck. Gar- net Fergusoh's colt Alee set a fast clip out in tront to the stretch, when he be | ®an fading away and ran unplaced. So- cialist, it was thought by many, might do the turn, but he backed up badly after chasing Alee. Ten maiden two-year-olds next paraded with the colors up. Pat Dunne’'s Tola was touted as a good thing, and the geld- ing did show quite a flight of speed. When headed “or the stand, Farrell shook up_Princess Titania, the favorite, and she | forged to the. front, beating Tola hands down. Litmus, a 40 to 1 shot, got up in | time to take the show from Infra. lap Dash, quite a heavily backed one, failed | to_run as well as expected. Following this the new steeplechase course received its baptiem. a field of | five going over the tortuous route. It was a handieap, and Ldmo, piloted by | Bob .Cairns, and an 8 to i favorite, again earned brackets. Lord Chesterfield, with top-weights up, 156 pounds, was the con- tender throughout, but could not over- haul Lomo in the run home. Texarkana cut a wide swath out in the lead for quits a Ylere. coming to grief at the obstacle following the water jump. Lomo is an extremely safe jumper, and handled his 155 pounds to perfection. Mestor, many lengths behind, again fell heir to the small end of the purse. It begins to look as if Prince Ponlatow- | ski has a more than useful piece of racing bric-a-brac in Brutal. Canmore, from | Waiter Jennings' stable, looked a “‘moral"” { on paper for the Westchester handicap | at seven furlongs, but proved almost easy {for Brutal. The Prince's two-year-old was backed down from § to 4, and through Mounce's injudicious handling of the first choice wom with O'Connor taking matters quietly at the close. Bernota got the | worst of the break at the post, and Selde ran into the show. Burns*& Waterhouse took the final race on the card, a seven-furlong purse, run with their recent purchase, Gold Or. The ring laid 9 to 2-about the big sprinter, and after he had followed in the wake of ‘Wooster Boy until well on toward the wire, then passing Hildreth's horse, the result was never in doubt. When the bar- rier was released Montanic swerved, ruining all chances of the favorite Tuthill. Track Notes.

They Are Disposed Of to Advantage by Traders on the African Coast. Nearly twenty Englishmen are now at chief and his faithful staff. There is noth- ing under the sun a chief can wear, not even excepting a cast-off silk hat or a red-lined cavalry coat, so caleulated to strike awe into the minds of refractory natives and #6 imbue them with a spirit of obedience as a gingham. Traders, when they want to obtain a free access to the coumtry of one of the hostile tribes, make presents of worn-out clothing to the natives, or even a gamp to a particularly obstinaté and pugnacious chief.

Y., to take thefr places were sent home to-day and two others were induced to quit and agree not to go back to work. One of them was willing to leave town, but refused to ac- cept money from the strikers. He sald he would walk every step to Syracuse rather than take money out of the strikers’ treasury. He also sald that he was told that there was no strike here, and that if things were not satisfactory when he arrived here he would be furnish- ed his fare home. K A Only two cars were run in the whole city to-day. One of these on which Su- perintendent Patterson was motorman ran oft the track at 11 o'clock and* was.so badly damaged it had to be taken to the n. No other car was sent to replace it and at 11:30 the other of the two cars was taken in and housed. Thirty-one men arrived to-night from New York City to take the places of the strikers, but seventeen quit at the rall- road station at the solicitation of the strikers’ scouts and promised to go back to New York. They say they were re- cruited through advertisements in the pa- pers to come to Scranton to work on a new road, and that none of them had any idea there was a strike In progress here.
