LOUISVILLE, KY, May 23.-The ninth
day of tho Louisville spring meeting up
held the average, the racing being again
excellent. The fields were large, the con-
testing horses evenly matched and the
events stoutly fought Tor. Though the
weather was threatening tho attendance
was very largo. The betting was heavy
and the bookmakes swept in plenty Of
wealth, four Of the big iavoritcs, Proctor
Knott, Wary, Macbeth and Parrish, biting
the dust. The Lioncss won the principal
event-thc Runnymedc stakcs--in hand
some style, marking her as one Of the best
two.ycar-old FLIES in the country. She
is owned by Barnes. Proctor Knott, the
fino-looking son Of Luke X. Blackburn,
and winner Of tho Alexander stakes, was
the fayorite, though Long Fish was very
heavily backed. Proctor Knott acted very
badly at the post, trying to run of several
the front at the finish. Brown Princess
was badly kicked, and, Il is thought, seri-
ously mjurci at the post. Tho Lioness
was the winner Of the lIurstboumo stakes,
run the second day OF the meeting. Tho
report that Milt Young's Ilypocrito was
poisoned turns out TO be untrue. She
was favorilo In the Kentucky Oaks, which
was won by a rank outsider, Tenpcnny.
Tomorrow is the last day OF the meeting,
