" ' The Frankfurter Handicap. -
East New York spoitfog circles were
all agog en Wednesday last, when the
annual running 'of the Frankfurter
Handicap, for bones that bad never
eaten oats, took place at the Holll race
track.' Thl yearly evept, which. I, al
ways looked forward (o with. deep inter
est by "horsy" folk of East New York,
I rua under the' auspices of the New
fork Driving Club. The race is a har
ness affair, with car horse barred. Tbe
rule excluding ear hones was born ef an
experience of the club last year, when a
Iwenty-seven-year-old "ringer'' from the
belt line road- walked away with tbe
money." v 1
The race wu not altogether te tbe sat
isfaction of .the local talent, either.
Wienerwurst, the favorite, became para
lyzed at the post at tight of a feed store
advertisement on tb race course fence.
Another entry carrying much money
fe)l through a crack la his ttall Just be
fore the race and had to be tcratchod.
The dozen bone which got away at
the urop of the flag, however, reached
the quarter without any interference on
ibe part of tbe Boclety for the Preven
tion of Cruelty to Animal. At the
quarter, though, there wa another dli-
appolntment for tbe follower or form,
when two well-backed, entries (topped,
to nibble the grass bordering the track
Two other bones were disqualified be
cause their drivers, In a desperate effort
to win, got out ot their sulkies In tbe
strstch and led their animal in by their
bridle. ..." ;,. . . : -'
But, dosplte these marring InoldenU,
the race wa productive of much excite
ment and was not altogether a failure.
Pipe Dream, a thirty-three-year-old
pacer, owned by a Woodbaven Junkman,
won In a driving finish with ''flam
And," a heavily backed favorite of the
local Street Cleaning ' Department's
"White Wings." J '
. Afior the race the owner of'IIam
And" protested agalust Pipe Dream
on the ground that tbe horse had twice
been fed outs by mistake, which, he
held, should dUquallfy him, even ad
mitting this mlxlake. The protest will
be considered at the next mooting of tbe
club. N. Y. Times.
