BONNIE AILSE A WINNER

While the crowd OF uBnJ naTHesS
horse enthusiasts who gathered at
Agricultural park yesterday afternoon
to enjoy the May day matinee Of the
Los Angeles Driving club was COM
paratively small, the six events on
the afternoons card were of a class
that brought out some of the keenest
racing of the matinee season.
Bonnie Ailse, ]. A. Fairchild's green
filly recently purchased in the north,
proved her class by taking the 23O
pace in successive heats. Johnny Mott
did the teaming and took both heats
handily from Billy K, with r. " Cooke
handling the ribbons. Excessive scor-
ing was in evidence during both starts
and Fairchlld's footer was the guilty
one in the majority of instances. When
the real racing began, however, Bonnie
Alise had things all her own way and
though Big Don looked dangerous when
the field rounded into the stretch in
the first heat the filly was able to meet
the drive and pulled in a winner by
lengths.
Inc SeCOnu neat VI llllo AdSO "oS
productive of one of the prettiest fin
ishes of the day. Bruner got them off
to a good start but Otto soon went
out of the reckoning, breaking badly
at the eighth pole. Big Don and Billy
K both lost their feet rounding into
the back stretch, while Mott kept the
f1lly going at a steady clip.
Big Don and Billy K were soon
pulled down to stride and when they
rounded in the stretch the three were
well punched with Otto 2 trailing along
in the rear. Cooke laid the whip to
his charge and took the pole from
Fairchilds stopper but the move came
a bit late and Mott flashed between the
sticks going easy. The field in this
race was to have had seven starters
but Gladys M. Miss Cole and Mollie
Haskins were scratched.
GIennita Takes Second
Three heats were necessary to de-
eide the second race, the 2:30 trot.
April Rose was scratched and Albu-
oueraue was handled by Mr. Bruner
and Glennita by her owner, l.. P. Kel-
Ter. In the first heat Glennita broke
badly before the back stretch turn and
Bruner held his horse until Keller came
up. At the head of the stretch they
were well punched and it appeared to
be anybody's race but Glennita had a
little more left and won by couple OF
lengths. Burners horse won under
wraps in the second heat. Bruner
took the pole practically at the start
Glennita lost her legs coming out of
the back stretch and albuquerque
captured the heat going easy. Glenitta
grabbed the next heat and race without
much effort cutting down Albuquerque
coming in the stretch and winning by
lengths.
DR.. William Dodge's Lohengrin an
nexed the 2:25 pace, the field being
radically changed around in each oi
the three heats. Lohengrin took the
first heat in 2:15, being closely pressed
by Stewards Admiral Dewey, coming
strong. Bessie Barnes and Athaio Were
strung out, with never a chance t.
head the leaders The Admiral came
along nicely and took the race, Athai'
and Lohengrin going out of calcula
ton by losing their stride. BESSIE
Barnes made a great bid, but Stewar
just managed to stall her off. In th
third heat Lohengrin came right back
Admiral Dewey dropped out and tn
real racing was between Athaio ant
Lohengrin. Bessie Barnes broke, bu
made up nicely. Athaio and Lohengril
We're we'll punched, but Dodge's hors
responded gamely and Athaio couldn'
quite make it.
