While Two Favorites and
to I Shot Capture
First Money

A large crowd was present at Ascot
yesterday afternoon, when the horses
went to the post in response to the
bugle for the first race. The sport was
tame, as there were only two close
finishes.
Two favorites, three second choices
and to shot were the winners. The
public had an even break with the
knights of the chalk.
Louise Fitzgibbon graduated from
the maiden ranks when she won the
first race, scoring luckily as Ninton
and Otto Price, which were second and
third, were away badly and almost
beat her at the finish. Koerner, how
ever, fairly lifted the Barney Schreiber
filly under the wire first by a head.
Vinton beat Otto Price by two lengths
for place The latter reared when the
barrier flew and was unlucky to lose.
The gray ghost, Don Domo, won the
second race from La Gloria, the to 8
shot, by a length. The latter set a
fast pace until the sixteenth pole,
where Don Domo ranged beside her
and beat her out in a drive. Domo
swerved q trihe near the wire and
McDaniels claimed a foul, but it was
not allowed, as La Gloria was beaten
at the time.
Il N'@'
the way and was doing his best to save
third Entire Nous showed none of her
usual early speed and can do better
Sunray went to the post favorite for
the third race. Cadichon was second
choice and Clandestine closed at to i.
Redwood II was made the medium of a
big plunge, as he was backed from u
to to 1. Clandestine took the lead
and was never headed, although Sun
I1yhin ino in close
of the way, came with a rush at the
end, but was not good enough.
Redwood II showed speed and was
ridden out to be third. Susie Chris
tian finished gamely. Lady King
showed early speed for six furlongs,
then retired. Cadichon can do better.
The second favorite to reward her
hackers was Cotillion, which won the
fourth race at to 1. Elizabeth F was
backed from to to 1 at post time
while Chancellor Walworth closed at
10 to 1. Los Angeleno was always as
good as 31A to 1.
T. Harris was allowed to fill his en-
gagement and rode the Bedwell horse.
I Told You and Elizabeth F set a hot
pace and ran each other in the ground
I Told You quit first Chancellor Wal
worth and Cotillion came on and in
driving finish went under the wire one
two. Cotillion winning by a half length
while Chancellor Walworth beat Eliza
beth F a nose for place. Los An
geleno, outrun early, closed fast; pre-
fers a longer route.
The baby race went to Booger Red,
which was off flying, and made every
post winning one, though at the end
was driven to stall off Orena's deter
mined challenge. Katie Rains was
beaten neck for place and ran her
race. Lackfoot showed speed for a
short distance.
Confessor was served us as the hot
favorte for the sixth race at 4 to g.,
going as high as even money at one
time in some of the books. Bologna
and Betsy were equal second choices
at to l, while Revolt was backed
down two points from 10 to /.
The start was good and Bologna
went to the front at once, with Betsy
second and Judge Denton third. Betsy
got up to the leader in the stretch and
Revolt moved up on the outside. In
a dingdong finish with the three
jockeys driving, Betsy won by head
from Bologna, which beat Revolt the
same distance for the place. Judge
Denton stopped in the stretch. Con-
fessor was poorly ridden, interfered
with several times and badly messed
about

Oakland with six horses which he will
campaign here this season.
Both Royal Ascot and Otto Price
threw their riders at the post in the
first race.
