TRAVELER IS DEAD There are more ways for a man to run his horse to suit his book than by pulling his head off in the straight says Rudyard Rudy Kipling and the owner of Molo Moo who won the second race at Hawthorne yesterday must have studied the various systems referred to by theEnglish teeing author and picked out one that worked splendidly as the last race of the horse a 6 to 5 shot on that occasion was so bad that yesterday the book ¬ makers considered him a legitimate 20 to 1 chance especially as Wilson a boy said to have never before won a race was up The post price was 13 to 1 straight 6 to 1 place 3 to 1 show The yell was something dreadful when Molo Moo coming on at the finish ran right through the bunch and although Wilson nearly threw him against Heigh High Ho the horse found a hole and won despite the weak riding of his jockey There was much talk about touts graduating into racehorse owners and having for intimates gentry whose pictures grtice Ugric the rogues gallery but this thing wu hvays hays obtain when everything dont don't go smooth for some people The price against Prince Blazes was a long one in view of his lik lick ¬ ing King for mud and his consistent racing and the horse went out with Heigh High Ho made the pace for a time and was only beaten by Molo Moo Gra Graf ziella Zillah coming from the rear on the end was third from Heigh High Ho Hardly and King Ber Beer ¬ muda mud were in the front bunch until the last quarter Elidad Elided finished close up The start was a perfect one in both this and the race following The day was too cool for comfort but occasionally the sun peeped forth There was a high wind and the track was deep in mud mudRio Muriel Rio Chico Chic advanced from 4 to 7 to 1 but won the second race with plenty to spare Facade second ran the best race according to Mr Rodegap Bodega whose Capsicum was third after be ¬ ing King bumped about aboutBurlesque Burlesque II could not run at all and was beaten a sixteenth in the mile and oneeighth neigh dash won by The Devil The winner was never in trouble lying second to Plantain to the homestretch then coming on Mistral II beat Plantain for the place Al Fresco ran a good race and had a chance but Ellis threw it away by getting into the deep mud mudWhen mud When Qlenmoyne Lennon finished beaten off with Idle Hour and Pitfall and Moncreith Noncredit

Students of the dope say that Qlen Len ¬ moyne monde never did fancy real heavy going goingThree going Three to one Abuse looked to be a royal price and was occasioned by a sharp tussle at the opening of the betting participated in by John Glenn Marcus Cartwright Cartridge and J J Carroll the latter starting the ball with 8 to 5 and being forced up by competition It was a great bet Chicago have so many good sprinters struck one another and that Espionage was always the favorite in such company speaks volumes for her class as told by public appreciation To an excellent itart tart Frank Bell and Abuse raced away from Maiy May Black and Espionage and paired at the upper turn were three lengths better than Wishards Wishers filly Espionage two lengths further away Traverser Traverse could never get up and St Simonian Simon was never in the race At thb tb last eighth Frank Bell led Espionage but the favorite passed him at will and won handily by three lengths Abuse hung on gamely and wore
