IDA LEDFoRD's FAST MILE.
Mr.. Fizer's Good Mare Stepped the
First Mile of Mile and Twen-
ty Yards in 1:40-Vici
Vance's Handicap.

IhetO was some splendio racing at Del
mar Park yesterday. Fast time was the
rule, and II the best horse did not always
win. It was because he was fly ridden or
In hard luck. Bettors Of good things had a
0ne day Of It. Indeed, Jew better days OF
racing ever have been seen In st. Louis
The honors and the money went to T. n.
Stevens. whose horses. Kinloch Park. Lunar
and Gallagher, won the first three races
all at good odds. Jockey Enos shared with
Mr.. Stevens the laurels Of the occasion, for
he rode all the winners. Kinloch Park won
through lot OF a fluke. for both May Do
ond Irving Mayer should have beaten him
but for ha:d luck in struggling start, and
more or less poor riding. The victories of
Lunar and Gallagher were strictly on their
merits. although Gallagher had some luck

Lunar won well within herself.
Tho superb condition and appearance OF
the three horses in question reflected great
credit on Mr.. Stevens's training. They

was especially good and attractive. Appar-
