The racing.andt Kenilworth Park this afternoon was. the best of the meeting so far. The features were the Bison City Selling Stakes and a handicap at one mile. The fields in all six of the races were evenly balanced and the finishes in four were close and exciting. The Bison Citv Stakes went to Fred Cooks honest little plater, Tom Dolan.
