Starter Itiehanl Dwycr, who arrived from Los Angeles last night, took Mars Cassidys place at City Park this afternoon and acquitted himself creditably. Mr. Dwyer adopted the walk-up. system and obtained good starts. Large fields went to the post in, two of the races, but in the others they were not so cumbersome. In the feature race, a seven furlong handicap for three-year-olds, Itlckey, the odds-on favorite, was beaten by Tainbeau. The latter was making his first appearance since his start In the Derby and found a track more to his liking. He was reserved in . the early running, but moved up with a rush on the far turn and drew away without much efTort when in the homestretch. The stable of W. Hollar furnished two of the winners and both were ridden by jockey Oregar. Horses of indifferent class put up some very spirited racing at the old track today, the finishes being all closely contested. The best race was the fourth. In which Enverite was a decided favorite. He led to the last strides where Louise Mac-farlau nipped hiin out, though it was a desperately tight lit. Quite a coup was made on Lady Ethels victory in the fifth race. She was backed from tl to 1 to 4 to 1 and won easily by two lengths from Abjure. Pride of Woodstock won his third straight race for W. B. Freeman in the second event, beat lug Come on Sam a head in a drive. Dr.. Street-a well-known Kansas City veterinarian; is here buying up horses for the Kansas City Hunt Club.
