R~O Kenilworth, the famed bird
from Harry Stover's stable, be-
long all the honors of the racing
II yesterday at Oakland track. The
brown horse picked up 123 pounds
ia the mile handicap and left in his wake
such likely three-year-old Misses as
Esherin and Gravina, and besides Bon
Mot, Hermencia and Bragg Of the all
aged division. The slow and heavy track
was all in favor of Stover's crack, but

the ring laid and Az to l about his
chances. Tommy Burns was the skipper,
and riding with rare Judgment, KeniI-
worth early assumed the lead, and, at
the close, won pricking his ears in 1:4S12.
Behind him the two archaeological fav-
orites, Esherin and Gravina had a sharp
duel for place honors, the former out
staying Gravina, and getting the de
clsion by a neck. Dr. Rowelrs good
horse Bon Mot displayed signs of i'm
provement, but Hermencia TO all ap-
pearances either sulked or had no use

QUIZ II Is NEVER HEADED.
The previous race Of Quiz II was not
an encouraging one. which accounted for
the somewhat lengthy price laid against
