ONE WINNING FAVORITE AT WINDSOR. Detroit. Mich, July 3. Heavy showers which began last night and continued throughout the day made racing conditions very disagreeable at Windsor this afternoon. The attendance was light and the downfall of the favorites was the natural result. Inly one betting choice caught the judges eyes first. The feature of the day was the riding of jockey Kunz. He had three mounts and landed every one of them a winner. Two of these were Attention and Mlnot from the stable of George Holle. In each.ot his races Kunz showed superior judgment, especially in the case of Nervator. The horse Was tiring fast under him all through the stretch and he nursed 1dm along and managed to keep in front to win by a nose. The finish between Blue Coat and Clifton Forge in the fifth was the cause of quite a demonstration after the numbers were bung up." It was a tight fit and when Clifton Forges number was displayed some of the small bettors who had wagered on Blue Coat, shouted disapproval and demanded that the numbers Ie changed. The followers of Clifton Forge were equally as noisy lint after the official placing was shown the demonstration qultcd anil it was soon forgotten. St. Tammanys defeat was hard luck for bis backers. He was well backed at I to .", but after entering the stretch his rider unnecessarily struck him with bis whip while he was a length behind .Sultry and to all appearances running easily. The gelding swerved under the whip and landed right behind the pacemaker, which drew away and won handily. William Gerst was a visitor atid was highly pleased over the victories of Attention and Minot. They belong to bis son-in-law. Jockey Foley lias been engaged to ride Allerlon In a race at Shcepshead Bay next Monday. The eight bookmakers who were summoned to appear before the magistrates court today were on hand and their cases were continued until next Friday at the request of the crowns attorney.
