TRorrlNe MATcHEs OVER THE BEACON COURSE
YESTERDAY The weather was most beautiful tor


any kind OF sport that might be desired, that would


keep parties in motion, but Tor those who mad only
to stand still for some two or three hours, merely
viewing, the west-north-west wind was SO emily
and penetrating, notwithstanding the sunshne'


that it was with difficulty that parties couid WIN
stand the cold breeze prevailing. The attendance
was not very numerous, but Iespectable-such as
might be expected from the sport promised.
The first match that came off was Tor $lOO0-
two mile heats under the saddle, between


Geo spicers en- s. Sir WilIiam-J spicer white jack

ter from Philadelphia Previous to the start, the


betting was 25 to 20 on Sir William, who look the
lead closely waited on by the latter, out on near
ing the draw gate, he made bad break, ana lost
some two lengths before he recovered, and Slr
William came the first mile Elk or eight ieng'h5
in front in 243. Up the back stretch Tor the Sc
cond mile, Hector appeared to go as II ne was IN


clined to give it up, although ne had evldenty tne


foot for it, but was not honest in his procedure, by
his frequent breaks, and Sir William LED nome the
second mile in rs, almost distance In front
For the second heat, II was 70 TO on SIR Will


liam, who led oil but on nearing the draw gate at
the bottom made bad break and lost some three


or four lengths ere he recovered but up the back
stretch he caught his opponent and LED, put near
the top broke hagaln and lost consideraDly; Dut
nearing the distance chair came up, looked very
like leader Tor the first mile, but Just as he came
to the judges stand broke again, and the other
came in about length IN front IN 4Ok. Round


for the second mile il might appear as II they had
agreed to break alternately, iOr there were no
fewer than three ere they reached the hall mile,
changing positions each time but at the top Sir


William went In front, and at the three'quarters
al 10 ho Lon nc in .
but on coming home the Philadelphian made a
good brush for it, but 1t was too late; he was a
dozen lengths behind, and the two miles was COM
pleted in 27. Sir William winning the match.


The next was pacing match for $500, between


John c. Calhoun, e. Whslpey) grey jacket and black


Fairy Queen, a. Concklin) green and yellow jacket


and black cap.


The Fairy led off closely followed by J. c. Cal


houn who, at the drawgate at the bottom, appear


ed to take the lead, but at the quarter the FAIRY


had the advantage; at the halt, Calhoun caught


her and went In front; but on nearing the three
quarters, Fairy came up and shortly alter broke,


losing considerably, and Calhoun came IN almost u


distance in front in I'm 32s.


The betting for the second heat was 10 to on


Calhoun and no takers. The Fairy led, both well


together to the half, but nearing the three-quaf-
tiers the Fairy broke and lost near distance ere
she recovered, and Calhoun came In, dozen
lengths in advance in 2m 26s-winning the stakes.

entered


H. Woodruf's gr 6. John Anderson

Jas. Whelply's gr. g. Stockton
The former did not show, in consequence Of
ameness, and the others driven by the parties
| named as before mentioned The betting was IL
to on Fashion, previous to the start. Fashion led


off, and made the first quarter in AZ seconds, both
well together and the half in 1929. Fashion led
the first mile in 2:58, the other about six lengths


behind; they kept in this position for the second
mile to the half, which was made in l:3O AT the
thrce-quarter Stockton came well up, but in near
| ing the distance post made bad break, which


threw his chance out; but from thence recovered


rapidly, but not sufficiently to be successful, fol


Fashion came in about three lengths in advance,
in 5:56.


The second heat Stockton led, Fashion length
or two behind; but near the quarter the former


broke, and the other came up and led to the halt


and round the top, some five or six lengths. They


were much in this position to the judges stand, fo
the first mile, which was completed in 2:57. A
the quarter Tor the second, Fashion led some five o.
six lengths, and maintained this position to tn.
| three-quarter, where Stockton made bad break

rallied, and recovered much Of his lost ground bu
| Fashion led home in $50, winning the purse. Thu,
