INTEREST WELL SUSTAINED. LAT0NIA ATTENDANCE UP TO THE AVERAGE DESPITE UNCOMFORTABLE WEATHER. Harlequin Scores in the Steeplechase Colloquy in Early Spring Form Backed long - Shot Defeats Henry 0. Cincinnati, Ohio, November 14. Cold, raw and uninviting weather did not keep down the attendance at Latonia today. The card was a difficult one from which to select winners and only two first choices landed In front. These were Meadowbreeze, which won the six furlongs condition race in handy fashion, and Harlequin, the heavily backed favorite, which won the steeplechase over the clubhouse course easily. This latter race brought about a series of accidents that lent interest to the contest. Bank Holiday, the tip for the cross-country race and ridden by Russell, was left at the post, Russell apparently believing that he had too much the worst of it when the barrier went up. As the race was run Harlequin was best and won. easily. Maverick ran out shortly after the start and Naughty B. and Squanderer both fell. The latter took a bad looking cropper over the water jump while going the second time around and Walker who rode, was badly shaken up. He. was carried off the track but later regained consciousness and was removed to a hospital. He received a contusion on the right side of the head which Is not believed to be serious. Two well-timed tips aided speculators in the argument with the sixteen books which drew in. These were Colloquy and Ida Merimee. The former is from the stable of George Holle and is a filly that had showed good form early In the season. She was bet on heavily by her connections and at profitable odds. Outsiders had little knowledge -about Ida Merimee, but thoseon the inside were evidently well Informed, for her price receded a number of points at post time and it was said that one of the biggest killings of the season was made on her narrow victory from Henry O. M. J. Daly will ship a carload of horses to New Orleans tomorrow consisting of four of his own and six belonging to E. Corrigan. They will be reinforced at Louisville before the journey Is continued . southward. Tom Sayers, who trains for Lemp Bros., the St. Louis brewers, shipped to that city today and will winter there, taking up. a number of yearlings that the stable has in training. Ida Merimee, winner of the last race, was bid up from 00 to 1906.sh05 and retained by the stable. Max Samuelson, proprietor of Senorlta Stud at Lexington, was a visitor at the track and expressed the opinion that a new racetrack was certain to be in operation in the upper river country next summer. Scott Hudson after a visit to the big fall trotting sales in New York will go on to Atlanta, Ga., and rest up there until the spring season begins. Outshine, that ran in the jumping race, pulled up lame.
