EASY FOR RACONTEUR
Raeonteur found it easy to, beat the
sort of company that he was meeting
in the first race. Jockey Miller had
him off flying and he had the speed to
gallop in front all the way. The boy
was easing him up at the end. Price
less Jewel, whose odds had heightened
for want of support, was forward
contender throughout and made a
strenuous but unavailing effort to get
close TO the pace maker in the stretch.
Spohn, for which there had been plenty
of smart support, landed In third place,
with the balance of the field dlstanced
Nebulosus. on which a mild killing
had been attempted, threw his hackers
into CONSERVATION by running away
five furlongs before the start of the
race. When il came to racing he had
no speed in consequence of the es-

LOGISTILLA WINS AT LAST
Logistilla. a stake mare not so long
ago succeeded in winning race with
selling conditions, after numerous uh<<
successful essays since the opening OF
the season She was the medium OF a
tremendous plunge in the fifth and was
enabled to win by the tendency or the
leaders to make wide turn INTO tne
Stretch. which permitted her to come
through along the rail and save world
of ground. AT the finish she led the
pace maker, Captain Kennedy, by
about a length. Miss Mazzoni sue
ceeded, in beating J. r. Laughrey for
the show by an exceedingly narrow
margin. Laughrey had kept unex-
pectedly close to the pace in the early
stages and there was general surprise
when he failed to get any of the
money, as stretch running had been
his forte Estella G, whose recent good
races accounted for the backing thal
she was accorded ran as though mud
might be her speciality, retiring early
after showing some speed.
