JACKSONVILLE, January H.-Lahore.
James Rowe's American Derby candi-
date and the present ante-post faVorite
for the headliner Of the local stake ros-
ter. was returned the winner OF the Mag
nolia stakes here today. Jack Parker
running in the colors of B. J. Pons, sec
retary-treasurer of the local association.
was second, with Barleythorpe third.
The Magnolia, which carries money
consideration Of $1,000. was the CHIEF at
traction of the days program. Lahore
which, on his initial appearance, was
beaten by a most unintelligent ride, JUS
titled the criticisms Of that race by DASH
ing to the front at the rise Of the bar
rier, to win, eased up, by one length.
Turning for home. Jack Parker. who had
raced under early restraint. closed with
a rush, but the effort proved but a flash
in the pan, and the Pons Splinter had
to be ridden out to stall of the deter
mined rush Of Barleythorpe.
The third and companion feature OF
the days program. in which eight spleri-
did milers met, was productive Of the
fastest mile ever run by a horse south
of the Mason-Dixon line.
The winner, which was returned in T..
NJ. Green, stepped the eight furlongs in
1888 3-5, two-flfths OF a second faster
than the best previous time over this
course. Descomnets finished second. and
Adrian, although firing badly. lasted
long enough to save third money.
Second only in Importance to the rae
ing features was the sensational plung-
ing of Charlie Ellison. who started with
a heavy wager on Tommie Thompson In
the first and parlayed his winnings on
Sylyestris and Lahore. Those in position
to know assert that the ChicagOan won
upward of $4,000 on the day. Sum-
