PRINCESS TITANIA IS FIRST.
RIDDEN BY ARTHUR REDFERN
First Choices Do
Not axe to
the Mud.


Redfern came up expressly to ride
Eonic in the big stake to-day, but Red
fern Sr. was prevailed upon to allow
his son to ride Princess Titania in the
six and a half furlong handicap at In
gIeside yesterday and the young man
came out of it with all the honors.
Hildebrand. who rode John A. Scott,
boasted Of what he would show the
Eastern boy, but fell as fiat as a toad
on a rock of doing so. The track was
in a sloppy condition and the price
about the Princess went from to 81
TO 5. Kenilworth was asked to carry
122 pounds. but in spite of this went TO
the post a I to chance. Willie See
may be able TO ride some horses, but
he handles Kenilworth with about as
much skill as q truckman would an
automobile.
1t was a two-horse race from the
start. HiIdebrand went away in the
lead with John A Scott, but Redfern
on the Princess never permitted him
to get far away. In the stretch when
Scott began firing Princess Titania
forged ahead. winning by four open
lengths. Kenilworth got away third
and never bettered his position. Ola
gen was the only other starter.
ONE FAVORITE LANDS.
Favorites met with poor success, Did
erot being the only one to pick up a
purse The weather was clear and
pleasant and there was a large crowd
present
Mike DAILY turned a warm one loose
in the opening event. He sent Sir Tom
fiddler 10 the post after a long vaca-
ton and backed from 20 down TO the
big Loyalist horse went out and
spreadeag gled his field. Adirondack
finished second. half a length ahead Of
Boutonniere. Flyer, the to 5 favorite,
ran third.
Marie was the next favorite TO fall
by the wayside. The fiIly ruled 8 to 2
favorite for the 2-year-old scramble and
was easily defeated by Villa, the sec
ond choice. ridden by Hildebrand.
Edith Vice took show honors from Del
Carina.
Larsen rode a we'll judged race on
Decoy, a 6 TO chance, receiving a nose
decision over Expedient at the finish
Of the mile and a sixteenth selling af-
fair. Expedient, an Is TO favorite.
was slow TO begin as usual falling
a trifie short at the wire. although no
fault could be found with Jack Mar
tins ride. Norford finished third, rid
den by GruweIl, an apprentice. With
an experienced rider in the saddle. the
big gelding would have won by himself
ALBEdARLE a WINNER.
Ulctma. the Seattle Interurban,"
came dangerously close to winning the
five-furIong sprint, for which Muresca
had first call in the betting. The little
mare made all the running and at the
end was only led out a neck by Albe-
marie. the second choice, astride which
HiIdebrand rode a strong finish. Oil
phant rode a weak race on Muresca,
losing the show to Matt Hogan
Sloppy going was always the long
suit of Diderot, and Jack Atkins geld
ing downed nlilouon a nose for the con-
Guiding race Of the day. There was
such a steady play on The Fretter that
he closed equal choice with Diderot.
For half a mile The Fretter stayed
with Diderot, then began falling back
and ran unplaced Illilouon closed
strongly and at the finish Oliphant on
Diderot was brought to a hard drive to
win by a nose. Mr.. Dingle finished
third
