There was no bid for the winner. Ten Candles was favorite for the last race of the dav. but he was unable to last the mile and a sixteenth and finished among the tail enders. Greenock, ridden by Burns in vigorous fashion, caught Olea. the second choice, half way dowu the stretch, and Slack, having made too much use of the fllly during the first mile, was forced to be content with second money.

Burns' engagement to ride for Mr. "Whitney seems to have Instilled new life into him, for ho kept Greenock up in a good position all through the race. Hinaldo, ridden by Master Gannon, and at 6 to' 1 to show, was third. Rinaldo was cut off on the first turn and lost many lengths. Gannon was forced to go to the outside in order to improve his position.

With an even break, he might have won. There will be an extra day's racing on Friday next for the benefit of the Galveston aid fund. A goodly sum, amounting to several thousand dollars, will be realized as a result Mr. Philip Dwyer's generosity. Summaries.

September 15 The cool, cloudy weather made golfing a treat over the Nassau Country Club's course to day and the links were covered with players of both sexes. The events were the Saturday match for the Gates cup and a mixed foursome, both events calling out an unusually large field of players, many of whom, as usual, failed to turn in cards. In the Gates cup match William Beard gained 3 points, S. P. Hopkins 2, and W.

L. Hicks 1, with an S5, the best card of the day. The mixed foursome was won by Mrs. Folger and C. M.

Pratt. The summary: GATES CUP. AMATEUR WAGON RECORD CUT. Tree Bond Paces in 2:04 1 4 Small Attendance at the Close of the Grand Circuit Meeting. The Grand Circuit meeting, which began last Monday at the Empire City Track, at Yonkers, was brought to a close yesterday with the tieing of the world's pacing record to wagon, by the beautiful black gelding Coney, and the breaking of the world's amateur pacing record to wagon.

by Free Bond, the latest acquisition to the stable of C. K. G. Billings of Chicago. Both track and weather offered perfect conditions for the trials, and it is safe to say that, had McHenry, who drove Coney, better regulated his speed, he could have easily beaten the record made by Bumps last year.

The attendance was lighter than the excellence of the card deserved, a scant 1,000 persone being in the etand and on the grounds. Interest, of course, was centered in the trial by Coney, and as he jogged up the track for his warming up every eye was on him. The start wins made under the best of conditions, the suu being under clouds and not a breath of air He got off poorly on the first scoring, the runner, Ridona, being over lifiy yards behind. Before the first furlong pole was reached he had lost his feet and McHenry pulled him up, returning for another start. This time he started alone, the thoroughbred being sent around by the back way to meet 1dm, and was off in excellent shape, moving like clock work.

The first quarter, however, looked bad tor I record smashing, for the 31 Vi needed to complete it was a great handicap. Past the half mile pest Coney (lew in 1:02 flat, still step ping like a machine. At the five furlong pole the runner was waiting, and at the three quarters as taking the pacer along at better than a two minute gait. Down the stretch they came, driving like mad, and both drivers yelling like fiends. It was a furious pace, the final furlong being covered in 142 seconds, When the time, 2:03.

was hung up, there was a great demonstration. Free Bond's trial as more successful than Coney's, hut naturally did not create the enthusiasm which the professional trial called forth. It was Mr. Billings' first time at speed behind the great bay son of Simon, which he purchased last week especially to lower the amateur driving record. As he reeled off the furlongs at record breaking speed, he made a magnificent picture.

With the runner on his Hank the start, he gradually drew away. i covering the first quarter in 33 seconds and the half in 1:0254. only three fourths of a 1 second slower than Coney's half. The second quarter was in the phenomenal time of 2f)'4 the third quarter he was eased up by Mr. Billings, ine three quarter pole was caugnt i by the judges in 1:33, and the mile in or a full two seconds better than the mark of made by the great horse Ananias, at Cleveland.

early this year. The team trial, by Marion Wilkes and Saratoga Belle, to beat 2:20 to wagon, was a failure. After three trials it was given up, the best of the three being caught by the judges in although a dozen watches cn the stand caught it in 2:19. Mr. Curry, the driver, protested the time, without avail, as ir Was understood that there was a big on the ability of the team to do the trick.

The first race on the card was the third licat of the road wagon pace. There were but three entrants, Hontas Crooke. who had already won two heats earlier in the week; Quadriga and Silvermaker. The heat was won driving, by Quadriga, who only beat Hontas Crooke by half a length. The time I was 'I'lli.

It took seven heats to decide the 2:07 pac ing race, and the latter heats of this event were marred by features of a decidedly shady complexion. There were seven entrants i for this event, but only lour put in an ap pearance. Bonnie Direct, Eyelet and Island ll i ps were arawn, lea.iuti Name. Gross. H'c'p.

Tuxedo Park, N. September 13 A more successful or better managed tournament than that which was concluded late this afternoon on the links of the Tuxedo Golf Club could not be desired. Everything ran smoothly under the guidance of the tournament committee, comprised of Walter B. Smith, W. Pierson Hamilton, Frederick F.

Cary and Dr. E. C. Rushmore. who were ably assisted by George It.

Preston, who jumped in to fill an uulooked for vacancy. The majority of the clubs in the metropolitan district were represented by golfers of note, in response to the generous invitations sent out. As a fitting climax, the thirty six hole medal play handicap was the only event on to day's programme. For this contest a silver trophy was presented hy Thomas Stokes, and the donor happily named it the Mountain Cup. Travis was placed at the head of the list, handicapped with a plus four, while the committee took good care of Livingston by placing the young Westhrook golfer at zero, in consideration of his exhibition of yesterday, when he forced the champion to his limit.

E. M. Byers. the Yale player, who also gave Travis a good light in the semi final round yesterday, was placed at zero with Living ston in the handicap. A.

de Witt Cochrane, the Ardsley player, was more easily dealt with by the handicappers. He got a handicap of two strokes, despite the fact that at Shinnecock in July last and again on Thursday he forced Travis, when he met the champion, to very tight finishes. The weather conditions were fine and the players assembled on time at the club house, keyed up for a good day's golfing. Out of the sixty seven who entered for the event there were only a dozen absentees, and of the starters thirty three finished. Champion Travis was honored by the tournament committee with the responsibility of handicapping all those who entered, including himself.

Walter B. Smith took the responsibility of allotting premier position to the handicapper, as he placed Travis at the head of the list at four strokes behind scratch. Travis, however, did not start in the contest, and neither did Livingston, who piayed at zero. C. M.

Hamilton of Baltusrol, and E. Byers of Vale, were the scratch men who took part in the day's play, and the former won the gold medal for the best gross score, and the trophy went to L. L. Kellogg of the home club, who had the best net score. Oliver Perrine of the Baltimore Country Club, who has been playing at the Misquimi cut, L.

during the summer, looked like a winner with a gross score of 159, until, at almost the last minute, when Hamilton came in beating the Baltimore man by two strokes. Following are the scores by rounds with the gross totals, handicaps and net results: MOUNTAIN CCP. B. Aaron's b. p.

Grecnoelc, T. Burns, 10 to 1. Old Imp furnished another of those surprises, which have marked her successful, if somewhat checkered career, yesterday, by defeating a small but select field in the Second Special at Gravesend. The race was one of the best of the year, and Imp's great performance was greeted with, the tumultuous cheering that is always accorded her when she wins a race. Strongly as has Imp embedded herself in the affections of the racing public, it was surprising to witness this ovation, for she was the extreme outsider in the betting, and, as a rule, whenever a pronounced favorite, such as Ethelbert was, is beaten, the victory of an outsider is received with an utter lack of enthusiasm.

But Imp is a turf idol and winners and losers alike joined in the ovation to her prowess. Kinley Mack ran a line race. He was conceding the others five pounds and that he should finish second was, under the circumstances, a very creditable performance. A length was ail that Kinley Mack was defeated, and his admirers found consolation in the fact thnt he again defeated Ethelbert under circumstances that wire all in the hitter's favor. That Ethelbert was defeated en his merits there can be no gainsaying.

The track was fast and there was no interfsrence. He was not accorded a bad start and his rider, who was this time Turner, made every use of him and mini ted no error of judgment either in pace or in making his run. The pace was fast and even throughout, and for Perry Belmont's horse mere 'i eiisG. At the finish he was only neck the behind Kinley Mack, but if he had been horse that his admirers have til. claimed him to be he would not alo: riete.ifpri Kinlev Mack but Imp ah along have His race in the Annual Champion of a iveek ago mil have taken the edge oil Ins speed, out this is hardly probable a.

he h. a full week in which to recuperate. I When the start was made imp at occn.no.i tiio lend Kinlov Maei: lying once I ond, the three year old McMeekin. with Spencer in the saddle, third, and Ethelbert trailing. All were under wraps as they swept bv ihe stand the first time and they were lenctl apart.

This order was unchanged tin the Laekstretch. but when, at the end of seven furlongs, it was seen that Turner had becua to urge the favorite a trin in order to keen uo his backers rcw a little uneasy. At the mile Imp w'f a length in front, her head nod line still her limbs moving with th i precision oi a well oiled piece of machinery. Mc.Mookin had moved up to within a half length of Kinley Mack, while Ethelbert was only a neck away. Burns let out a link mare as she swept into the stretch and she responded sj quickly that he again tightened his hold on 1 1.

When well straightened on: in the stretch I the race began in earnest. was the 1 first to show slsr isi of waning strength, and Spencer began to ride hint with both hand and heel. Imp. never relaxing hor efforts, held her ndvo'itcge, and on Burns' face there aegCV look ot av.uttation as he saw McCue, on Ttinley Slack, go to the whip and Spencer follow suit. A sixteenth from the finish.

Burns made his effort and the mare responded with spirit p.r.1 Whip and spur though the others did, they could not gain a foot on the flying leader, and she swept under the wire with that same length her and Kinley Mack which had existed from the start. Many have hee'i the black mare's victories in the past, out her performance yesterday in the Second Special was the crowning glory of her long career. Imp's weight was IIS pounds, the weights being at five pounds under the scale. Last year she won the same race, carrying 124 pounds, and established the track record for the distance. 2:34.

Hor in yesterday's race was one fifth of a s. rond slower. Kinley Mack's weight was IV which included a five pound penalty for winning the First Special on Tuesday last. Ethelbert's weight was 121 pounds, while McMeekin. who finished two lengths in the rear, shouldered 110 pounds.

Criticism of Imp's change of form was abundant after the rare. She had started in the First Special, run on Tuesday last, and both Kinley Mack and McMeekin had. beaten her. To the experienced eye it was apparent that she was short on that occasion, and mar.v who had bat on her then more than recouped their losses yesterday. Bellario's slowness in leaving the post was responsible for his defeat in the Holiv Handicap.

He carried top weight, was favorite at 13 to 5, was the eighth horse in the field of eleven to get away and. at the finish, was only beaten two heads by Conroy and Dublin. The former was in front from the drop of the flag to the finish. It was somewhat of a surprise to see Spencer get awav in the lead, as he Is usually one of the last to leave the post in a sprint. His advantage at the start was responsible for his victorv.

for he was stopping fast at the end. Burns would have been second, but for being forced to pun up nis mount, Silverdaie, 1 few jumps before the finish was reached. He claimed a foul against Conroy, but the stewards were not impressed with his version of the Interference and they gave it a deaf ear. Finishing fifth, only a length behind Bei lario, Silverdale's race was in marked contrast to his last performanco. Water Color the handsomest coit in iraining.

was only beaten a neck for third mcnev. June flayfe stumbled soon after the start 'and threw his rider, Ransch, the boy escaping injury. Cock Robin won the steeplechase very easily from Captain Piersall. The other starters all fell. Count Xavarro wr.s remounted by Cahill, the cross country rider, and ho took the horse over the course and finished third.

Perlon was the first to come to grief, falling at the Liverpool, opposite the clubhouse. Mara landed in a sitting position, but was not hurt The second time around, Challenger failed to raise high enough at the hedge jump opposite the field stand, and, hitting it with his fore feet, turned a half somersault, apparently rolling over Chandler. Count Xavarro, who was right behind Challenger, also came down at this jump. Chandler was picked up unconscious, but he revived on his wav hack to the paddoek in the starter's carriage, and was able to walk off unassisted. Cock Robin came near falling at the second jump.

Brazil going right on his neck. For the rest of the journey he fenced perfectly. Eight sprinters were sent to the post in the opening event, a high weight handicap for all ages over the short six furlong course. Montanic was a strong favorite, his closing price being a shade over even money. Gold Or was second choice at to 1, and, getting away flying, he set a warm pace to the stretch, where Turner sent Montanic to the front, the latter winning easily by two lengths.

Gold Or lasted long enough to gain second place by a short length from Carhuncle, who finished very strong. Burns rode a poor judged race on Annoy, who, with a stronger rider, would have been third. Although Montanic ran In the name of W. C. Whitney, the pur3e went to Prince Poniatowski, who had purchased him before the race.

Lief Prince's last race was such a good one that he was chosen as favorite for the fifth race, a selling affair at five furlongs. Two year olds to the number of fourteen wended their way to the post and Starter Fitzgerald had some difficulty in getting them to break unison. When the start finally came Lief prince was the quickest in motion and he led 'or a quarter. Drogheda passed him at that joint, assuming the lead, and Luck also noved up and displaced Drogheda as they entered the stretch. When well up the stretch, Spencer sent Lief Prince to the front and he won very easily from Lady Padden, who had been quietly backed down from 50 to 1 to 30 of E.

The house is two George Low, who has finished his summer engagement at the Ekwanok Golf Club, is now back at his post at Dyker Meadow, where he will practice hard to morrow and Tuesday tor his match on Thursday, when he and Hutchinson meet Harry Vardon at the Morris County Golf Club. On "Wednesday Low and Htitchinscn will play in a foursome at Morris County, against two of the club's best men, and this will constitute their practice over the scene of the match. And this match, by the way, has already developed into quite a sporting affair. Low has convinced some of his admirers that not only will Vardon lose to their best ball, but that either he or Hutchinson will beat the Englishman in individual play. Low has already wagered several gross of balls upon this basis and declares he will take all similar offers that turn up.

Low thinks very highly of Hutchinson's golf and he declares the Shinnecock professional to be the best player in this country save Vardon and Taylor. On one point all golfers are agreed that Vardon has got the hardest match ahead of him on Thursday that he has yet tackled in this country. Harry Vardon played the best ball of C. T. Stewart and Douglas Bonner yesterday on the links of the Richmond County Golf Club.

He was in splendid form and in the afternoon his record of 71 for the course establishes a new professional record. From the way Vardon showed up there is no doubt but that he will play the game of his life when he meets Taylor in the open championships at Chicago next month. The summary: MORNING ROUND.

In spite of deteat inaiana sua remained the first choice, selling at 50 to 25 for the field, while Choral advanced to 6 to 5. The second heat fell to Indiana, after a particularly poor start, even for this meeting. He also" won the third heat. Choral, in the fourth heat, got the pole from Indiana when near the half way pole and won handily by over a length. Dumont W.

then took the fifth heat in slow time. It was in the next heat that the trouble began. Choral, after leading the field almost all the wav around, broke when less than 50 yards from the wire and dropped back to last position. When McCarthy, who was driving Indiana in second position saw what had happened to Choral he pulled up his gelding, who was then leading, to a rre.ik, leaving Dumont to show both the way to the finish.

The classes for the day are a 2:25 trot, 2:35 pace, free for all dush 1 Freeport was treated to its first professional golf match yesterday afternoon over the now nine hole course there, and although the local player finished second, he put up a good match against one of the strongest men of his class in the country. George Low of the Dyker Meadow Golf Club was the visitor, and he handily made a new record for the course, beating Eugene Reilly, the home club's greenskeeper, by 5 up and to go. Playing out the bye holes increased Low's lead to 8 up. This score, although decisive, must be reckoned a very creditable showing for Reilly.

He is an American lad, not yet 20 years of age, who came to Freeport after learning the rudiments of the game as a caddie hoy at Mont clalr, N. J. It was his first match against a professional, and naturally, with the eyes of all golfing Freeport upon him, he was nervous. From the too the local player, who is probably the youngest local professional with a club all to himself in this country, acquitted himself with much honor for a number of times Low, after making perfect drives, had to play the odd. It is In his driving that 'tuiliy's game Is most promising, while at putting he was weakest.

Only two of the greens are turfed and the dirt squares are not conducive to steady work with the finishing club. After practice upon good turf greens Rullly's game will be a much stronger one. Low complimented the 3'oungster highly and pronounced him one of the most promising young players ho has ever seen. Low was found In good form and, although tho dirt greens handicapped him a bit, his last round of 311 for the 2,222 yard course was neat f.olf. It.

is likely, too, that he did not extend himself fully for ho had a commanding load and did not. go out after a record. At. the seventh Low was 2 up after losing the fourth hole by playing the wrong hall. Then Reilly look Hie eighth in a 4 and the ninth in the par of 8, making him 2 down at the turn.

In the second round Reilly was careless. After losing two holes he won the twelfth in tho bogey of 4. He got a half at the sev Golfers in classes A and took part in a handicap tournament at Ardsley yesterday. There was also a women's putting match, in which Miss 1' Kins won over miss Gregory by one stroke. The Bummary: AltDSLICy.
