former greatness in the last race when
he led home a big field of high class
sprinters. He was on his bad behavior
before the race, and 1t was with much
difficulty that his Jockey was able to get
him to the starter At the paddock gate
he sulked and refused to move, He stuck
his feet In the dirt and fought for several
minutes against going to the races.
At the post he was a different horse.
He was on his toes and away from the

ish also. In II St Allan. Vice Chairman

gether that the proverbial blanket could
have covered the trio. st. Allan got the
verdict by neck, with Vice Chairman
second, head in front OF The Wagner.
To win the race st. Allan had to be
much the best He was held at the post
by an assistant starter until all of his
opponents were well on their way. But
Jockey Rodriguez rode a real good race
and landed him the victor.
Holding horses at the post Is getting
70 BE- a habit with the assistant starters.
and It should be stopped Immediately.
Almost every day last week horses were
held standing while others went away
flying, The race goers do not relish
such tactics and are complaining bitterly
against the men who assist Mr.. Cassidy.
One OF the real good things of the
season was returned the winner of the
NTH race. He is Fibbertygibbet, a
brown juvenile gelding belonging to Mrs.
Payne Whitney. He was backed down
from to to s to and won by half a
length from Bridge Player. Fibberty-
gibbet started a few days ago against
the same kind of field and couldn't
raise a gallop. He was never In the
hunt and was beaten or. Yesterday he
was different horse He got away from
the barrier running, fell back rounding
me turn. but came on again gamely in
the homestretch and won In a driving
finish
Because OF the unwrItten rule of the
Jockey Club that horse can run any
way he pleases until he has some
form is the only reason why Fib-
oertygibbets race is not branded as a
slaring reversal. While James Owens,
hrs Whitney's regular trainer. Is at
Laurel, Flbbertygibbet is in charge of
Fred Burlew.
Mrs. Whitney's horses usually do their
pest every time they go to the post and

INDEPENDENTS FOR BLACK

William G. Shinnick, one of the
ablest of the younger news writers
of Kentucky, who has been follow
ing Edwin P. Morrow on his speak
ing itinerary, says that after talking
with the voters in the different
towns he has visited that he is con-
WINGED that the Independent voters
are for Governor Black. Mr.. Shin
nick says that Governor Black will
get every Democratic vote, as he has
found no disaffection anywhere.
With the large and respectable body
of Independents who hold the inter-
ests of the State above any party
for him it would seem that Governor
Black has his election cinched.
Democrats, however, should take
nothing for granted. There is no
earthly reason why any Kentucky
Democrat should vote for q man like
Ed. Morrow against such a man as
Governor Black. There is on the
other hand, every reason why Gov
ernor Black should get every Dem
ocratic vote in the State. In the
event of a vacancy in the United
States Senate from Kentucky the
Governor elected November 4th will

have the appointing power. If that
Governor is Black the Senator APP
pointed will be a Democrat who will
uphold the President in his great
welfare work for all the world. If by
any calamity it should be Morrow
who appoints a Senator to fill a va
cancy that Senator can be depended
on to vote and work with the Pen
,ose-Lodge- Borah- johnson obstruc-
tionists to do all they can to EN-
barrass and harrass the President
solely for political effect.
Let every Democrat in Kentucky
get to the polls November 4th and
east his vote for a man of clean
character, high integrity and noble
purpose, whose sole ambition is to
serve his people well as Governor.
