New Starting Machine Tried with
Success mt the Newport Track.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, April lat rained all
night and the downpour continued through
out the day, but this did not deter $500
regulars from witnessing the races at Mont
gomery Park to-day. The park was a pool
of mud. but had firm bottom. and fair
time was made in two of the events. 1t was
a field day for the talent, as five favorites
won without trouble. and in the second race
Imp. Sauteur. at odds of to /, had quite
following. The stake feature was the Ten
nessee Oaks, at a mile, for three-year-old
FLIES. Eleven were originally named to con-
test for this prize, but Lady Inez evidently
scared them all out save Helen Mar, who
was the only other starter. The two horses
ran nose and nose to near the finish, Lady
Inez winning under pull by a neck. while
Helen Mar was all out. In the fourth race
Free Advice ruled a slight favorite over
David, with Rey Del Mar third choice.
At the start Bum, on Rey Del Mar, became
tangled up in the netting of the starting ma
chine and was thrown to the ground. Il.
Murphy. on Tranby. was struck by Bum
in the fall and was also endorsed. Rey Del
Mar. riderless. took the track and passed
under the wire easily in advance of Free
Advice, who was, of course, given the race.
