SAIL V ABLE WINS A GAIN. Pat Dunnes stake horse Solvable, by Salva-tor Lydia, conqueror of the mighty Ornament, performed at Lakeside Wednesday, and at the tempting price of 6 to 5 beat Great Bend, Jimp and Plantain. Salvable has been a cripple for soma time and on several occasions has been reported as totally broken down. This was undoubtedly the reason why be was at such a price, considering the ordinary horses he was pitted egainst. Those who saw the handsome horse warm up, however, were convinced that there was no danger of bis going amiss in the race that he waB carded to go in and therefore profited greatly at the expense of the betting ring. Salvable never looked better in his life before and in his preliminary it waB almost impossible for the boy who rode him to keep him from running away, However, tks bookmakers paid no attention to this. and in the opening quotations offered 7 to 5 against what looked to be a natural 1 to 3 chance. The price was so long .that it frightened the public in general, but the wiser ones backed Salvable down a point. Conley was up, and he rode one of bis fat-headed racoe, but despite this the horse won rather easily. Conley was on the extreme outside at the post and when he broke he cnt directly across -the track and, although there were only three other horses in the race, he succeeded in getting iDto a bad jam on the first turn. This caused him to pull up and race around his field. All this time Great Bead had clear sailing 2nd down the back stretch he was running under a steady pull several lengths in front. Conley hustled Salvable along at a killing pace to overhaul Great Bend and when the stretch was reached the pair were on equal terms. Here Conley resorted to questionable tactics and crowde 1 Great Betid from the center of the track to the extreme ineide. Of course this dil Great Bend no especial good, as he is a big, long-striding fellow, and below the furlong post he gave it up. From this point home Salvable had everything his own way. For some unknown reason, Mason, who n.da Great Bend, made no claim of foul against Cosley and the judges let the race go as the bor.-93 finished, but fined Conley 0 for foul riding. Albert Simons has an exceotioaally useful olt for rainy weather in Florinl II. This horse was at3 to 1 in thi fifth event, which was at three-quarters of a mil9 for to-y jar-olds, and from the way he won it was "a ebime to take the money." The colt broke third, bat wasted no time in getting to the front, and after tbo first three-Bixteenths hid bun run, had the others beaten ani won pill 1 no by a half dozen lengths. Man of Honor, who is now quoted as being the iron horse, ws second and the 7 to 5 favorite, Nettie Re jeut. was third. It was a bad day for favorites, Salvablo bs-ing the only betting choice to score Ocorno in tbe first race stirted tne b ill rolling. This race was put on for her b it still 30 to 1 was her price. She was fifth 1 -jiving the barrier but worked her way to tht front on tbe far turn and stayed there to the en i, wiun ng with the greatest ease. Little Jack Horner provel to ba the b t of a fair lot of sprintnrs, goii-g five and ah If far-longs in tbo second rac aud well ridden by Mitchell, he had little or n 1 trouble in tinning from Eva Wilson and Htrmoso. After fi teeo minutes delay t tbe pot in the second race, in which the 6 10 5 favorite Georgio ran her race, Her Favor, a 15 to 1 chance, camo out and won easily. v Tae fourth was the Salvab e r ce, Iwllf h Florinel II. captured, and Nick U ills recent purchase, Facade, with Master Jed Wahu up, took the long end of the purse in the closing mile and twenty yards event. Benneville and Jackanapes of J. H. Smiths strirg are both ailing. It is to be hoped that Smith has no bad luck this late in the Beason. Virginia" Bradley expects to send about six horses to New Orleans for tbe winter racing. They will be in charge of trainer Flippen. Mr. Bradley will take tbe others to his Virginia farm. Ben Vincent will sell several of his horses be fore going into winter quarters at Memphis. In the lot for sale are Mr. Johnson and Loyal Prince, both fast on any sort of track. Dr. Keough has returned from Cincinnati and will fire and blister a number of horses that are to be turned out for the winter.
