FEDEHitS FAST Mil E. Although yeeterday web an cff day at the Worth tjack there was no noticeable falling off in the attendance, which has held good throughout the week thus far. The weather waB all that cculd be desired and the racing excellent in all particulars. The leading race ofthedaj was the fourth, a daeh of one mile for four-year-olds and upward. The talent was almost equally divided in its choice between Federal and Constellator, although the former was always held as a crime favorite. Coostel-lator ran a ehabby race and failed to show that sharp turn of speed he is known to possess at any part of the race. Lennep daehed to the front at flag dip and, setting a scorchiDg pace, led by a gocd margin up to the turn for home, where Federal closed on her. He came down the stretch fast and had no trouble passing Lennep in the final eighth ard winning eaBily by a length. Lennep beatOrontssa neck for bbc-ond place. The latter waB badly outrun in the first part of the race, but closed up reeolutely whilo coming down the last quarter and would have taken second place in a stride or two. Fay the Fiddler ran In remarkably improved form ard 1b ready to win when placed right. Con-tellator ran well for a half mile and then gradually fell away beaten. Gallantrie showed here elf to be more than an ordinary filly by picking up 115 pounds in the third race, a ecrsmble of five furlongs for two-year-olds, and winning under urging by a short half length frcm Nellie Waddell, which lasted long enough to beat Julia Junkin a head on the post for second money. The last named showed a sudden revival in form frcm her last effort which was a pcor one. I. Samelscn ran in sharp ccntraet to bis showing of several days before and was easily outrun for the entire distance. Autumn Leaves, which moBt of the handicappers figured eb the beBt, Bhowed no great speed at eny part of the flight and was never a Bericus contender. The dayB opener proved to bo an easy matter for Do Madge, which came away in a canter when called upon at the head of the stretch and won without any trouble by three lengths. Prairie Beg was eecond a length before Lady Idris. The latter tired badly in the last eighth. Edith Q., Bupposed to be a "good thing," ran a fairly good race. The Jefferson showed an early turn of speed. C. B. Campbell repeated his victory of two days before by taking the second race, a dash of one and an eighth milee, in a stiff drive by a neck from Free Pass, which ran in much improved form over her last showing. Laureate led for a epace, when C. B. Campbell assumed command, cloEoly presEed by Free, Pass. They ran almost as one horso for the last half, C. B. Campbell outgaming Free Pass in the closing strides. El Qhor finished third three lengths back. Laureate quit badly in the laBt quarter. Munro could not hold up Ben Chancoe head at any part of the race and the horEe could not extend himself at his beBt. Bed Hook was dropped into an easy berth in the fifth race, a scramble of six furlongs for two-year-olds. He simply cantered homo the easiest of winners by a length and a half from Inspector Shea, which beat the rank outsider Tom Wallace three for second place. Outside of the winner it was a field of bad youngsters. Greetings, rank outsider in the betting, won the last race of the day, a daeh of seven furlongs, in a long stretch drive from Eva Bice by a neck. The latter led until turning from home where Hicks brought Greetings up with a rush. It appeared as if the latter would win easily in the laBt eighth, but Eva Bice rallied along in Jiere and Greetings had to be driven out to the limit to win. Evelyn Byrd finished third three lengths back. She had enough when a furlong out. Henry of Trastamare ran a fairly good race, but can do better when at his best. Jessie Jarboe ran far below expectations and did not run anywhere near her true form. Free Pass was claimed out of the second race by W. Cahill for 00. Coburn was fined 0 for "cheating" the scales while weighing in for the last race.
