Special Dispatch to The Star.
WINDSOR, Ontario. July 1s.-The un-
expected happened here today. It
rsined. After a long-continued dry
spell. which lasted all summer, showers
began to fall this morning, turning into
a steady dowhpour, and the track at
Windsor was turned into a sea Of slush
and mud. The unpleasant weather con-
dftion had its effect on the opening Of
the meeting, and while the crowd was
OF good proportions, still the attend
ance was far from what 1t would have
been had the afternoon been pleasant
one. The change In the track condi-
tions resulted in complete upset of
calculations, and the dopesters had to
revise their figures. Scratches were
numerous, the fields In a majority Of
the events being materially reduced.
Several faces were absent in the
firing line among the layers The tre-
mendous losses suffered at Fort Erie
by the bookmakers resulted In some OF
them retiring for the season. Frank
Tyler, whose. losses figured up $4,000,
was among the absentees.
John w. Schorr, whose stable has cut
an important figure on the Canadian
circuit this season, added the Frontier
stakes to his list Of victories scored
by his horses when Star Charter gal
loped home an easy winner In front Of
his stable companion, Froglegs,
The change in the. going resulted in
numerous withdrawals, the stake suffer
Ing more In this respect than any other
race or the seven carded. Five were with
drawn, among them Lovetie and Ocean
Bound, the overnight favorites. When it
became an assured thing that the going
would be muddy the Schorr pair, Star
Charter ana Froglegs. were elected as the
ones to carry the money Of the wise eIe-
ment. and the ring was fairly showered
went to the post q to 5 favorite. +. j.
Pons also sent two Representatives, to the
post In Font and John Furlong. The
former was in the race to make the pace,
and he fulfilled his part by showing the
way until rounding the far turn, where
both Froglegs and Star Charter passed
him. Butwell had the former under
slight pull the first half mile. but when
called on Star Charter moved with q
drew away without effort in the stretch
run. Font was a firing third, being
beaten out couple of lengths by Frog
legs.
The schorr colors were soon in front
IN the sixth race. which went to Hamil-
ton. This was a. selling affair, and Ham
tlton was promptly boosted $500 over his
entered price Of $1.1OO by Andy Blakely.
The latter has been prominent In selling
races whenever q Schorr horse finishes
in front.
I The biggest disappointment of the
afternoon was furnished by Granite, 1
to 2 shot, in the third race. who was
beaten out half a length by Countless in
a driving finish. That the latter's VIC
tory was anticipated was shown by the
from 10 to 5 to 1. Another good thing
was put across when Horror cap tured the
opening event, dash Of five furIongs for
two-year-olds. Summaries:
