The speculators seenied to have little difficulty In picking the winners, going astray only twice and then not seriously. Especially heavy bets were made on Shenandoah hnd Katie Powers; It was a good da for Phil Cliinn as he also won the second race with King s Ofm. Both his horses won off by themselves. Folks from City Park won a bet on Polly Prim, a new arrival from the American Turf Association track, which took the feature race, a condition affair at six furlongs. She was In front all tho way. Lady Henrietta, the 3 to 4 favorite, ran a dull race and was nosed out of third place by J. C. Clem. C. R. Ellison will leave tomorrow morning for Memphis, where he will spend a day looking over his horses at Montgomery Park. He will then go to Hot Springs and stay there until the Derby Is inn here. He is confident that Lady Navarre will win and has made a wager with an Eastern turfman that she will beat Lotus Eater.
