Local Track-Good Card
for This Afternoon
SENATOR H. WAS A SURPRISE

The racing conditions at the fair grounds
track were decidedly unpleasant yesterday,
and as a natural result the attendance was
small. All forenoon the weather was
threatening with occasional showers, while
just after the first race the rain came down
in torrents. For the rest of the day the
track was a sea of mud.
Jockey Forehand, who arrived from Gin
cinnati Monday night, had three mounts
during the afternoon and finished in front
on each of them. His best ride of the day
was on Kitty Regent, who won the mile
and a half race largely through the clever
handling of this clever young light weight
rider With Jennie and Ocie Brooks his
victories were easier, although in each he
showed considerable horsemanship.
Long Shot
In the last race of the day the ring was
given very severe drubbing in the victory
of Senator H., Splinter who made his
first appearance at the meeting. Senator
H. has several good performances at St
Louis to his credit and when he was
quoted at Is to In the ring he was played
to such an extent that at post time to

Dutch Lewis was at the track yester-

be seen in the winning column before he
has been here long.
