FAVORITES FARE BADLY. LATONIA SPECULATORS GO ASTRAY IN ENDEAVORING TO LOCATE WINNERS. Dr. Leggo Loses a Hard Luck : Race - to : Tartan St. Joseph Again Defeated-rSam -, Stephens Pays Up.- Cincinnati, 0., November- 13. With moderating weather, the attendance at Latonia today was one of the largest of the meeting. The card, while, evenly, balanced in the matter of class of horses, afforded no easy picking and those of the public who pitted their wits against the layers of odds, scored only once and that was when King Pepper won at a remunerative price. All of: the Other races went to second choices and outsiders. C. C. McCafferty and his followers received n severe blow when Dr. Leggo was beaten in the third race. This horse has been under careful training all summer and McCafferty thoughtrhe had him placed where there was no chance for him to lose. The horse ran a good race, but was interfered with early and lost ground, and then was only beaten in the hardest sort of a drive by Tartan. A lot of money was wagered on Dr.- Spruill, which ran disappointingly to his backers. BesterJIng was also in demand by speculators, but he is a heavy headed horse and Swain, who rode him, appeared to be unable to do him justice. Moreland had been engaged for the mount, but on account of an accl- 1 dent yesterday was unable to fulfill his engagements. If McCafferty failed to win with Dr. Leggo, he more than made amends when his Nonie Lucille captured the fifth race at an outsiders odds. Toboggan, the favorite and under the guidance of Aubuchon, was fit one"bf "his sulking"inoodsand gotoff poorly. Ie will be shipped tomorrow to New Orleans, and Street will send the others of his string now quartered at Douglas Park to the Crescent City shortly. M. J. Daly and his connections again displayed confidence in the speed of St. Joseph and, especially as C. Morris was to ride instead of Carroll. Hazel-thorpe beat him handily and it Is evident that this good colt has not yet quite rounded into his best form. T. C. McDowell who has had a moderately successful season in the east was a visitor at the track. McDowell lias all his horses turned out at Ashland Farm near Lexlngtont. Speaking of the Blue Grass yearlings, he said he thought that Captain Wllden had a very promising filly, and also that H. M. Zlegler, for whom C. H. Hughes is trainer, had one or two irihls "Darn" that will be heard from next season. The steeplechaser, Dell Leath, will be shipped to Washington Saturday to be raced there. Jockey Jdunro left tonight for Memphis to try out some yearlings there-after which-he. will go on: to New Orleans. - Sam Stephens, who was fined ,000 at the Louisville fall meeting on account of . his altercation with Ed Alvey, paid the amount to Judge Price and waa allowed to draw In today.
