bit too creaky and uncertain to COM
pete with the sprinters Kenilworth is
turning his attention toward picking
up some coin for Harry Slower in the
| distance events. Only last Saturday
| the brown horse finished third in the
side yesterday defeated Modicum nose
| for the $1,000 handicap at one and a six
teenth miles. Kenilworth carried ia
| pounds, was extremely well rated out
| in the lead by Willie See and lasted
| just long enough to beat Modicum,
! against which 20 to l was laid. Jockey
Club finished third, half a length be-
| fore Lord Melbourne. Proper. with MS
/ heavy impost of 126 pounds, had first
call IN the betting but Martin got him
cut off at least three times going the
| first half mile, and the big fellow cut
no figure at the close.
| The track was slow. making fast
time AZ impossibility. the one and q
sixteenth miles in 1:4S14 of Kenilworth
being worthy performance. Fine
weather attracted a large attendance.
Five favorites took the count.
A mile looked further than Charlie
McCafferty's Fair Lady Anna liked to
| go, but such an ordinary bunch op-
1 posed her that she was installed favor
ite for the first event. Jerry Roach
had the mount, and soon showing in
front with the first choice, won all the
way. Johnny DAILY on PolOnius broke
stirrup and then finished second, a
length ahead of Goldfinder. Glissando
and Anvil were both mildly ridden.
There We're so many worshipers at
the shrine of Golden Idol that DR..
Rowell's two-year- closed a 2 to l
favorite for the kindergarten event.
Despite the efforts of Johnny Daily, the
youngster ran out on the turn as usual,
| finishing third. In a. hard drive, Jack
Martin, with the Is to L shot, Steel
| Wire, got on the inside, beating Bob
Ragon, the third choice, head. My
| Order, the second choice, stopped bad
| ly the last part.
Harry Slower came very close to cap
turing the next prize for his three
year-old Hulford, only losing to George
Berry by a head. Hulford, which was
ridden by Travers, and 23 to in the
betting, made all the running, but at
the end Jack Martin, astride Berry.
had the better of the saddle controver-
| sy, getting the decision. Instructor, at
one time looking dangerous. ruined his
! chances by running out on the turn.
Flo Manola, the favorite, pulled up
very lame.
| Billy Magrane's old horse Handpress
ran and acted like a two-year-old in
] 4 foa EH1,ft inf he
decided. Opening favorite at 9 to 8,
she floated to Az and, with Johnny
Daily up, was in the lead from start to
finish. Young Morello ran second, a
length in advance of Hipponax, the
to 5 favorite guided by Bell.
Had the track been made to order it
could not have suited Hainault better,
and the brown gelding was plunged on
at short odds to win the last, a six
furlong selling affair. Johnny DAILY,
who had the mount, raced out in front
with f. NJ. Brattain. although always
having trife up his sleeve. Strangely
enough, though, Hainault quit the last
sixteenth, and Celebrant, coming from
third place, disposed of the gray
sprinter by couple of lengths. The
winner had Bonner on his back.
NOTES OF THE TRACK.
Hello, Bell! Did you ring?" oh.
| just rode Glissandro and Hipponax."
That's good. Eth. eh. Yes 1 under
stand. Well, ring up the Coroner's Of
flee when you're not busy. Good-by.'
Stuart could not stand for getting
away well very long. In the last race
he came close to being left with st.
Winnifride. The betting shows the
mare was backed back, from to 12.
Track probably didn't suit Rustic
Girl. Or, perhaps. the route was too
far.
Wright who rode Anvil. is not as
fast rider as he was two months ago
Flo Manola pulled up very lame
She made a fine first choice.
Ed Suite was not so far away when
he went across the board on Modicum
with his money.
Frank Doss is still endeavoring to
pick up a horse. He boosted Cele-
brant from $500 to $500, but the
stable responded with the custo-
mary S5.
Barney Schneider, fresh from the
land of the oranges and the tuber-
culosis germ, cut in again yesterday
He says the game at Los Angeles
shows signs of improvement. Consid-
cradle paper has been sprinkled about
and the attendance is good.
Twenty-three books laid odds in the
ring yesterday.
His victory in the handicap made
the seventy race. won by
Kenilworth. Looks like Green Morris
got rid of a gold brick when he sold
! the brown horse some three years ago.
Ill-luck appears to hover over the
Derby candidates Yesterday morning
| Mendon threw his rider and ran away
two and a half miles. On the back
stretch the three-year-old in some
manner managed to slide under the
bar at the gap and to all appearances
was none the worse for his jaunt.
After a two days illness Paddock
/ Judge Jack Dinue reported back on
duty yesterday.
The fifth race was Il queer betting
race. Hipponax was at one time to
5 and i'm Seven physicians were
