KASSILS GOOD RACE THROUGH THE FIELD. Sets a Now Record for the Short Course at Kenii-worth Park Three Successful Favorites. Buffalo, N. Y., June 20. Kassil, carrying 155 pounds with Terry up, won the feature event at Keuilworth today, the Lockport Steeplechase Stakes, over the short course. Kassil raced the others to easy defeat, smashing the track record. On June 1.1, with IIS pounds, Kassil covered the distance In 4:01. Today the gelding clipped -il seconds from his previous mark. The race was undeniably the best steeplechase ever run at this track. An even break in the matter of their choices is the best the public could get with the twenty-five layers that cut in for the days business. Ruth W.. Elliiott and Tlie Scold were the winning favorites. The first two won their races in easy style, but The Scold, the most heavily backed horse of the day, gave his supporters a cold chill when within a few strides of tlie wire, Olive Leaf closed up with a rush and with a stronger rider up would have won. Jockey Bell has severed his connections with the Deppeler stable. Ronianelli has been engaged to do the riding for the remainder of the meeting. Barney Schrelbers Canadian string, which has been resting up at Hamilton since the close of that meeting, arrived here today.
