Electric Park. Nd. May sL-Fa-
voritss scored again to-day at Elec-
trio Park. and the books got a
thorough cleaning. especially IN the third
race. when Dogwood. who beat Ethel
burg II a head. was disqualified. The
disqualification OF Dogwood was a popu-
lar one, but costly 20 the books As
the rag dropped Dogwood shot to the
front rounding the FIRST turn, and. IN do
Ing so, hit Fred Levy. running him TO
the fence. and in turn knocking Ethel
burg II. to her knees.
Dogwood led TO the stretch where ne
tired, and lasted just long enough to
beat Ethelburg II, by a head. There
was nothing else for the judges to do
but 70 disqualify Dogwood. and give
the race 10 Ethelburg II Had the deci-
sion stood as the horses finished. nearly
every person IN the ring would have been
hurt by the decision
Il was quite evident from the way the
decision was received that Il was a Just
one, and the judges displayed good jude-
ment in disqualifying the winner. and
placing Ethelburg II first Starter Miller
again demonstrated his ability with the
flag. His fields in every event wereSo1
together, and his work was Of the hign-
est order.
Fond Heart. a consistent and regular
winner, again came home first under the
wire in the fifth race. and won handily.
In the first race Lone Ben was a hot
thing ell over the ring and managed to
last just long enough TO beat Bonnis
Bee by a nose.
In the second event Fond. who received
a good ride by steinhardt. beat the
heavily-played Henotic by two lengths.
In the remainder OF the races favorites
managed to come home first and as a re-
suit the layers had all in all a very
bad day.
To-day eight races are scheduled to 20,
and the best horess at the track are sche-
duled in each OF these events. The frst
race will be called at 2:S5 instead OF
o'clock as heretofore. Many Of the
