The sixth and seventh races at Latonia this afternoon furnished more than a sufficiency of rough riding and excitement. For the sixth Roscoe was supported with a confidence which could have been born only in the belief that "the race was over." His backers cashed, but not until after Chief Millikin bad been disqualified. .Chief Millikin was away badly and had to go around on the outside, but when turning for home he got to the favorite. In the drive to the finish Mclntyre carried Nlcol from the middle of the track over to the inside rail and completely shut him off near the end. Chief Millikin, after all of this strong-arm work, was going away as they passed the judges stand. Nlcol did, not Intend to make complaint, but the judges called him. up. and after a short interview they disqualified Chief Millikin, giving the race to Roscoe, second place to Revolt, and third to Mum. In the closing race Nlcol, on Fonsoluca, and Mclntyre, on Amberita, hooked up in another close finish, and Mclntyre, apparently in an effort to get back at Nicol, claimed the latter had fouled him in the stretch. There was no interference of consequence and the claim was dismissed. Both incidents were attended with considerable demonstration, the women outdoing the sterner sex in voicing their opinions. It was a rough deal all through from a financial point of view for E. J. Gildersleeve, who owns Chief Millikin and Amberita. Mr. Gildersleeve backed both his horses and both were claimed. Chief Millikin by C. C. McCafferty and Amberita by F. Doss. Roscoe was bid up and bought for 00 by V. Gilbert, the owner of Revolt. With a lumpy and drying out track speculators had better luck than couldreasonably have been anticipated. With the exception of the first two-races, which went to outsiders, they landed on the favorites and second choices the remainder of. the day. In the steeplechase E. Corrlgans Dunning made his re-appearance after a long rest. He was quoted at a liberal price, as all the other starters, with the exception of Woodlyn, had keen support. It was a race between Subador, the pacemaker, and Dsn-ning from start to finish. The long course suits Dunning and, catching Subador tiring over the last jump through the field, he passed him, winning easily. Weird, Woodlyn and Dalesman all stumbled in the heavy going and unseated their riders, none of whom were hurt, the horses also escaping Injury.
