Feature Event.

LOUISVILLE. Aug. 3O.-The run
ming of the Falls City Handicap. fea-
turing the opening of Kentucky fall
racing at Churchill Downs this aft
ernoon. brought prominently to the
front a possible. star in Frank J.
kelley's Chatterton. which won ham
dily from the crack Rockminster.
Lady Madcap and Parader. which
had been in the thickest of the fray
during the first quarter mile. began
giving way in the stretch run and
Rouleau, the stable mate to Rock
minister. as a result. took third place.
There were six starters to con-
test for the S4s60 net that went
10 the winner. The Mountford Jones
pair, principally because of Rock
minister's decisive triumphs at Sara
toga. were made overwhelming IA
vorites. with Lady Msdcap second
in demand. Those who had watched
Chatterton in his training over the
track all summer were loyal to his
cause.
Kentucky fall racing began this
afternoon under favorable conditions,
considering the threatening weather
and the early opening. Vacationists
are still on pleasure bent. with lit
tie prospects that they will return
until the racing here has terminated.
The showery weather also had a
tendency to keep down the attend
ance.
