RACING STOPS
At KUPFR|AN'S
THIS AFTERNOON
YESTERDAYS RACES WERE FEA-
TURED BY COMPLETE FORM
REVERsALs AND THE WINS BY
LONG SHOTS.
BY w. A. r.

A record was pretty nearly estab
lished if not entirely yesterday af-
ternoon at Kupfrafn's park race track
when four ten to one shots were sue
Cessful and favorites took care of the
other two events. J. T. West had the
honor of scoring double win which
in itself is not out of the ordinary.
But both Of his winners were as good
as ten to onk at post time and Jockey
Hall was on board each one. The
talent connected good on long shot
in the first race when Brown Tony, a
first starter here was quoted at and
2 to 5, out of reach of the majority Of
the players so as substitute to have
something to wager on they went to
Lady Hapsburg with a vengeance and
naturally were overjoyed to see the
Lady breeze home a winner by only
five lengths and could have made it
probably around near fifty If extended.
Brown Tony left taste quite similar
to his name in the moths of the big
bettors who plunged on the supposed
sure thing.
Following the Hapsburg AFFAIR,
Lucky Mate was made an odds on IA
vorite and once more did the populace
hit right back at the layers by betting
away from the favorite and pinning
their faith in Gull Holland also at ten
to one. Gull Holland got there alright
but this time it was a driving finsh,
but they cashed on Gull Holland
tickets so the players cared not how
far the pup won. For a change, in
the third race, the favorite Eventide
won, but this was just lull before
the storm which broke in the fourth
race. The black mare never left the
issue in doubt
Miss Vigilant, after seeming to be
hopelessly beaten in the fifth race,
closed an immense gap in the last fur
long and coming on with a mighty
rush sneaked in on the rail and scored
also at ten to one.
A long shot might have won the
sixth race, too. had not Bat Master
| son turned one If the prettiest Cd
form somersaults ever seen here and
! scored in a walk by a couple of
| lengths. The reversal of form of the
Cottren horse was one of the most
/ glazing yet pulled OF at Kupfrian's
Pleasing was a supposed good thing
in this race, but suffered much inter-
| ference.
Inc meeung Will come to q close
this afternoon with six races all filed
to the limit and practically every
thing that can stand On its feet will
! probably go after that getaway
money. A large crowd is expected out
to witness the obsequies over Florida,
as the curtain on the great drama,
The Sport for Kings" win be rung
down this afternoon.
The First Race,
| While the favorite in the first race
| fell down with a sickening thud the
talent for once in a case OF this kind
did not suffer, but on the contrary
were a jubilant lot when Brown Tony
the to shot, finished far out of the
money and Lady Hapsburg, at 10 to ]
cantered in winning by five lengths
The price on Brown Tony, sent broad
cast as sure thing, was not to the
liking OF the local players, so they
let the odds on favorite severely alone
while few of the big bettors backed
the odds on choice in a sort of apathe-
tic manner, but the rank and file play
ed Hapsburg to place and show and
