CINCINNATI o.. May 26.-The OPEN
ing of the fifteenth spring meeting OF the
Latonia Jockey club to-day was one OF
the most brilliant in the history OF that
famous association. The weather was
perfect. the track fast, the attendance
reached the highest limit Of the most
successful seasons. and the racing was
drst-class. Seventeen books were III

times. The new mutual apparatus was
not used to-day.
Five horses went to the post In the
Derby. with Ornament. the top-weight'
an odds-on favorite. +. f. V. was the
medium OF considerable pay, forcing MS
price down n bit from threes. Box mad
some little support, but the two maidens-
Panmure and Endurance-ran practically
unbacked.
The race needs little description. f.
f. V. went to the front at the fall OF
the flag. and set the pace-a hot one
until going around the far turn, when
Ornament came on and won as she
pleased. There was no point in the race
when he could not have run over ms
fed.
