CORUSCATE WINS LOUISVILLES FEATURE. Mamie Algol Takes the Mile and a Half Race-Martha Gorman Scores at Long Odds. Louisville, Ky., September 8. There was a big crowd at Douglas Park today. The card was a good one. It included a handicap at one mile and an ulghth: a race at six furlongs, which brought together the best middle distance runners seen in a long time In these parts, and a race at one and one-half miles, which gave the stayers an opportunity to perform. Speculation was noticeably increased, the eighteen layers being kept busy. Coruscate ran to her best form today and scored an impressive victory In the feature race from Old Stone, on which Aubuchon, by permission of starter Dade, had the mount. Miss Doyle, a two-time winner at the meeting, failed to run up to expectations and was beaten off. T. P. Hayes and his connections backed Funlcu-laire heavily in the sprint race. The horse was probably best, but a mishap at the start and a fonlty ride enabled Martha Gorman, well backed by Rome Respess and his connections, to win. The long race was practically a walk-over for Mamie Algol. Whlppoorwlll had to stand a hard drive to outlast the badly ridden Cashier for second place. Robert Tucker was among the visitors today. J.
