First Three Races Are Won by Short-Priced Horses—Track Is Lightning Fast, Crowd Is business: ‘‘Hello, there, old chap; New York js officially 250 years old ti day according to the almanacs, but she- doesn't feel it. Anybody who believes that things look as old as they are in this town may take a walk around to- day and see how foolish 1s that idea. It fs impossible for New York to look old, because just as soon as people begin to get accustomed to. the cowpath from Park Row to Broadway along comes some wise company with a plan to run guto stage lines or wireless airships or something like that, so that there w see we are two hundred and fifty yea’ old to-day. Let's wet it.” And they do. Observe that every New Yorker speaks of his city as bimself. He always says “we when he talks of the town. ‘The old City Hall, the seat of civic government, was a mat of waving color to-day within and without when the official celebration began. With the arrival of the many distinguished guests in carrigges, in automobiles and afoot, they were led within the police lines by an Aldermanic committee and escorted to the Governor's room, where Mayor Low extended a welcome and recelved the guests on behalf of the greater city.

Y., May 26.—It was a shame to charge an admission fee for such racing as was offered at Westchester this after- noon. There was a maiden race, selling race, a race for the non- ning sort, a fizzled out stake, a race for gentlemen riders styled tae Amateur Cup and a hurdle race. Truly a bright and Interesting programme for the fore- most racing associatfon about New York to provide for a generous public. I: was not to be wondered at that the attendance was slim. The receipts fall off on such a day as this, and It be- hooves the association to prod its sec- retary a bit, Racing associations can bear almost anything except a deficien- cy In receipts. The Jockey Club weight for age race had only three starters, notwithstanding that there were such horses as Hermis, Col. Bill, Rigodon, Yard Arm, Flocarline, Mexican eligibles. The chances are that it is too near the Brooklyn. Own- ers do not care to start in a $500 race when there is an $18,000 stake only a couple of days away. The Amateur Cup, which was the other tixture on the card, Is worth nothing as a race, It {s a humorous spectacle, made so by the amateurs who ride. The weather to-day was pleasant and cool and the track fast. In the second race W. K. Vander- bilt's colors were seen for the first ume in many years in the East. They were carried by a mare named Thoughtlase, which was raced in the West last sea- son as a two-year-old, Mr. Vander- pilt's colors are white, black hoops on sleeves, black cap. Jockey Hunt, who rode, Gould in the first race to-day, was indefinitely sus- pended by the Steeplechase Stewards to-day. ‘The stewards are investigating the running of Gould in the first race. Mf. Hunt made no apparent effort on Goul, and after the stewards had talked to the rider they called for the layers’ sheets. FIRST heer e Juartera;, hurdles.
