LOUISVILLE RACES.
LOUISVILLE, May 13.-Next in i'm
portance to the Kentucky derby is the
Clark stakes, and today that event was
decided before 1900 people on fast track
and fine weather. The race was a dis
appointment, owing to Ben Brush be-
ing scratched. Mike Dwyer gave W.
McGuigan a check for $4,000 and be-
cams the owner of Ben Elder, who was
raced in Dryers colors and ridden by
Sims. Sir Vassar and Loki were also
scratched, and when the flag fell down
there were but four contestants for the
second largest stake of the new Louis
willie Jockey club. Ulysses shot to the
front for half furlong, when he began
to falter, and after half mile had been
covered, r. Williams pulled him up to
q canter. There was but one horse in
the race that could interest the Fonso
colt and that was Semper Ego. Ali the
way down the back stretch Sherrer set
the pace with the son of Logic. All the
while Sims had Ben Elder at his girth
and when the turn was made in the
stretch Mike Dryers new purchase was
a scant head in front. Sherrer worked
with might and main on Semper Ego,
but the colt was not equal to the strain,
Ben Elder passing under the wire a Win
ner by a head. But he did not win with
out urging, although every time Sims
drove the steel into Elders side he re-
sponded nobly and finished with some
thing to spare Ben Elder was 3 to 10
favorite, with Semper Ego second choice.
