rs SECOND ON MILDRED
BY HENRY v. KING.

little jockey rode four winners, and q
second horse in five mounts. The ODDS
against his charges were good. too
and those who followed him instead OF
the past performances reaped a harvest
Ensor arrived from Latonia early in
the morning, tired and disappointed. He
had gone there to ride George w. Lofts
On Watch to victory In the $4,000 La
tonia championship. and was beaten by
Cleopatra. Although tired and sleepy
after his long Journey the lad didn't go
to bed on his return. He hurried to the
track and exercised several horses be-
longing to r. II. Wilson and two or
three owned by James Butler. Starting
for the track in the afternoon he said
ne was "all in" In his silks he was
a different lad. He was full of pep
and as playful as a schoolboy.
In the first race he had the mount on
Mildred. Superman filly belonging to
Eddie Burke. She didn't have any class
or past performances to warrant the
belief that she would win, even though
she was matched against q band of
cheap platers. But because Ensor wes
in the saddle she was backed heavily
and went to the post at 6@to /.
Mildred had no early speed and be-
fore the first furlong had been covered
was far in the ruck. Ensor nursed her
along and by the time the horestretch
was reached he had her in sixth posi-
ton Then he went to work on her and
by putting up one Of his best finishes
landed her home in seconod place, only
half a length behind Aurum. the winner.
Mildred paid to 2 for place and those
who wagered on her were we'll rewarded.
In the next race Ensor came out in +.
w Spiers's silks He was riding War
Note. This colt was much the best and
under his handling romped along in front
all the way to win eased up by four
lengths. Like Mildred he was heavily
backed and went to the post at 2 to l.
Landed Dry Moon First Home.
The third race was the feature OF the
programme. It was the Rainbow Selling
Stakes for two-year-olds. In it r. I.
Wilson, his employer. had Dry Moon.
This colt was the favorite and because
Ensor was in the saddle was backed
down from to to to s. Ensor got
her away flying and stole at least two
lengths on his Geld at the barrier. And
he made good use Of this lead He kept
his charge going at his best pace. On
the backstretch Joe Mooney. on vibrate,
attempted to slip past him on the inside.
but Ensor gave his mount an extra hard
kick In the ribs and crossed over to the
rail. This blocked vibrate and made
her go TO the outside. When straight
ened out again Vibrate made another bid
for the lead, but the best She could do
was TO reach Dry Moons tail, and In the
run home she faltered and the Wilson
colt sped past the judges two lengths in
front of her
Buddy had no mount In the fourth.
but he came back in the fifth and cleo
trified the crowd with the finish he
put up on Edwina. Sweet Music had
the most early speed and stepped along
at a fast pace two lengths in front
until the homestretch was reached.
There Ensor went to work on his
mount Edwina Is n game filly and she
responded to his urging. Inch by inch
she gained on Sweet Music and seventy
yards from the finish she was at the
leaders saddle girth. But Sweet Music
was going along strong and Joe Mooney
WAS giving her u perfect ride To the
crowd ii seemed as II even Ensor's best
would he unable TO get Edwina home In
front Then followed as pretty and as
sterling a duel has been seen this
season. Both jockeys rode their might
lest and their mounts gave up every
ounce OF speed they possessed. but
Ensor proved the master. and by fairly
lifting Edwina through the air got her
nose home in front
Like the other Ensor mounts. Edwina
was heavily backed and went to the
post the second choice at 20 ..
The last race was the Nymph purse
for Juvenile flllies at five and a half
furlongs Ten Buttons was the favor
lite for IL and Ensor was on her back.
That caused her odds to drop from
60 TO / to 2 And she scored like n
to shot. Ensor got her away wing
ing and then took steady hold on
her while James Buffers fast but faint
hearted Rhinestone stepped along three
lengths in front When Rhinestone had
80 of mi
gave Ten Buttons her head and she
auicklv went 70 the front. In the
stretch Gilt Fringe made bold bid
for the lead but Ten Buttons had
some speed in reserve and won handily.
