FAST RACING AT WORTH KlsieJL. proved herself to be a high class sprinter at Worth yesterday when she picked up 116 pounds in the fourth race, a dash of six furlongs for all agas,and won in hollow fashion, negotiating the distance in the fast time of 1 :12. She was mater-iallyjaided in her excellent effort by Goburn getting her off with a flying start. She led from beginning to end winning as her rider pleased by one and a half lengths from Jackfull which beat Andes three lengths for second place. The start was poor, Mary McCafferty and Sarah Maxim getting off flatfooted. Jackfull ran a surprisingly good race, showing inch speed throughout and finishing strongly. Andes tired palpably in the last sixteenth struggle. Fake was badly cut off just before reaching the first quarter post, the mishap throwing him practically out of the race. Mary McCafferty was pocketed badly for the first three furlongs, getting clear-sailing too late to be of any advantage. She can lo much better and her race should not be taken seriously. Sarah Maxim suffered from much early interference. She laid in a fair position when turning for home, but tired rapidly in the final eighth. The Conqueror II. finally ran one of his good races, and under an excellent and well timed ride byCobnrn, took the fifth race, a dash of one mile and fifty yards, for three-year-olds and upward. The time, 1 :42?s, was very fast, being within one-tenth of a second of the American record for that distance. The last mile was timed in 1:39 flat. The race was robbed of much of its interest by a start in which Pink Coat got much the worst of it by suddenly bolting. Ethylene shot to the front at lagfall and led for the first half mile, where Waswift moved up fast and displaced her. The latter held the lead until the final sixteenth, where The Conqueror II. moved up fast, the two fighting it out to the wire. The Conqueror II. won driving by a neck from Waswift, which beat Pink Coat one length for second place. Waswift showed much speed, but tired a trifle in the last sixteenth struggle. Pink Coat ran one of his old time races. He was many lengths back when reaching the first turn, but made up ground fast while going down the backstretch, swinging into the final quarter on almost even terms with Waswift, but the effort to. make up the lost ground in the early stages of the race told on him and he had nothing left to finish with. Ethylene ran an unaccountably dull race, falling away beaten just before turning for home. Nitrate ceased to be a serious contender after six and one-half furlongs had been run. He was worked out aD extra seven furlongs after passing the wire probably as a tryout for the Fort Dearborn Handicap to be run Saturday. The days opener, a dash of five furlongs for maiden two-year-old colts and geldings, went to the heavily backed Flyer, which opened at 4 to 1 and went to the post at 6 to 5. Jove led to the stretch, where Coburn called on Flyer and he easily went to the front, winning hands down by one length from Olivilo, which beat Jove the same distance for second place. Olivilo came with a belated rnsh at the end and altogether ran a good race. Jove tired perceptibly when the pinch came. Cracko showed speed for a half mile. Cougar, despite the fact of his carrying 116 pounds and conceding much to other horses, won the second race, a dash of seven and a half furlongs, in hollow fashion. Alee led to tho final quarter where Cougar took command winning by three lengths from Alee which beat The Caxton three and I a half lengths for second place. Alee tired fast in the last sixteenth. The Caxton ran a poor race i and appears to be of no present account. I. Sam-elson as usual showed oarly speed. Charley Thompson was supposed to be a "moral" in the third race, a dash of seven and a half furlongs for all agos, but had to be driven out in the olosing strides to beat Qlenrice by a head. David S. finished third one; and a half lengths back. Glenrice moved up fast in the last eighth and fin ished going fast. David S. showed much speed1 but tired when the pinch came. Silurian ran well for six and a half furlongs and is due to win when placed with judgment. The last race of the day, a dash of one and one-quarter miles, was won by Hayward Hunter. Blessed Damozel, closely pressed by Do Madge, showed the way to the last quarter where there was a general closing up. In the last sixteenth Wing Dance came out of tho field and appeared to be the winner but in the closing strides Hayward Hunter, coming from far back, came with a rush just getting up in time to win on the post by a neck, Wing Dance beating Jack Doyle one length for second place. The last named fouled Edith Q. and Vinci-tor in the final sixteenth, for which he was promptly disqualified, Vincitor being placed third. The weather was not as chilly as on Tuesday which was instrumental in bringing out a noticeably larger attendance than on that day. The track was lightning fast and good time was made in all the races. Betting was lively and by far the heaviest of the week.
