Little Son of Colin Comes Back from Long Vacation
 in Great Style.

Compadre, the little black son of the | immortal Colin, added another stake to his long list yesterday afternoon at the Aqueduct track. He won the woodmere Stakes from a high class field in commanding fashion. At the end of the six furlong journey he was a length ahead of Lieut.. Raymond Relmont's Jyntee, which took second honors by length and half rom Panaman.
 It was Compadre's first race in two months, and he came back from his vacation stronger and faster than ever. Instead of dashing to the front las soon as the barrier was sprung, as had been his custom, he followed the pace until entering the homestretch. At that point Andy Schuttinger gave him free rein and before the final pole was reached Compadre was in front. Once in command he stepped along at q, fast pace and won with speed in re- serve The little colt went the six furlongs in the fast time of 1:12 1-5

 S Since early in the spring Ballet Dancer has displayed a tremendous burst of speed in her early morning trials. Often she has beaten Ophelia and Ouestionnaire, but in her races she ran only in "spots" and was al ways beaten off. Despite her bad races her trainer would not believe she was a morning glory Before each of her races he talked about the speed and stamina she dis played in the morning. There something materially wrong some where" he said. i've seen a host ot morning Slories and if this lilly IS one she is a brand new kind. She works like a champion, eats like a champion, and in her work does everything ask her to do, and morn ing glories' don't do these things.
 After studying her carefully all veal he finally solved the problem in hel race last Saturday. He found ou' why she ran in spots" It was be cause Georgie Walls, his jockey, wal not big enough to handle her prop terly. She is a heavy headed lilly Wltf a weak mouth In her races she go her head away from Walls and Whe1 he pulled it up he hurt her mouth This caused her to falter
 Yesterday Fitzsimmons engaged Rice, veteran and stronger boy t ride her, and the change had the de sired effect. Rice got her away wei and followed Petrol to the head the stretch. There he gave Balle Dancer a touch of the whip and tn hlly went to the front and, standln a long drive, won in the fast time C 100.
