GETAWAY DAT AT LATONIA LONGSHOTS TAKE FIRST FOUR RACES IN EASY FASHION. Little Lighter Wins Handicap from The Minks PInkola Captures Another Purse Paul Ruinart Pulls Up Lame. Cincinnati, O., November 2. On account of the track, getaway day developed a more than usual quota of beaten favorites and successful horses at profitable quotations. The weather was a repetition of that of yesterday, cold and rainy, while the track was deep in sloppy mud. The form of the days racing should be thrown out, as both horses and jockeys were blinded by mud, and unless a good horse was able to go right to the front at barrier rise lie had no chance to get home ahead of his opponents. That unfavorable weather continued is to be regretted, as the card was one of the best of the meeting, and with a fast track the contests would have been keen and interesting from start to finish. Harvey Myers, the general manager of the La-tonia Jockey Club, stated that the meeting was financially successful and satisfactory, and that prospects for the future were not so bad as some persons would make it appear. The stakes and purses next year will be of generous proportions, and a good many track improvements are contemplated. Secretary John Dillon corroborated Mr. Myers statements, and added that lie thought the racing had been as clean and free from discordant features as that held at any other point In the country this season. An average of nineteen books was on during the meeting. A majority of these broke aljout even or lost, some of them heavily. Fontelieu probably won more money than any of the others. Fred Cook was a close second. Of the players from the ground, J. W. Gorman, who recently purchased Miss Sain, is probably 0,000 winner, conservatively. Henry Allen, the Arkansas planter and cotton broker, is the biggest loser. Mr. Allens deficit on his transactions here will amount to no less than 25,000. The mile handicap, for which Colonel Jact was best fancied, went to Little Lighter, which fairly reveled in the going. Bad riding caused Colonel Jack to finish outside the placed horses. The closing race at two miles was a farce as a spectacle, but endurance counted for much and Waterlake gained the decision. Paul Ruinart, at a long price, surprised the majority of operators. On arrival at the stable, Paul Ruinart developed lameness and is apparently broken down. Communipaw had an easy time of it in the second to dispose of his opponents. After the finish an officer furnished excitement by attaching the horse for a 00 debt. It was promptly paid. Pinkola and Ed Kane, coupled as the Fizer entry, had the fifth between them and finished in the order named. The poor showing of Ketchemike in the race was sharply commented on. Mud blinded jockey Dearborn so badly in the opening race that he steered Javanese into the inner rail on three occasions during the stretch run. Dearborn sustained an injury that will keep him out of the saddle for some time. Carew is reported ailing badly and C. T. Patterson will defer shipping his string for some time. There are any number of horses on the ailing list, sufferers from influenza. W. O. Joplin will send his string of racers next Wednesday to New Orleans. Jockey Koerner will acompany the stable and do most of the riding. About nine oclock last night buglars broke into the track feed store, which is managed by Henry Reilly, blew open the safe and extracted jibout ?500 in cash. They next entered the store of the Latonia Standard Hay and Grain Company nearby, blew the safe open and got away with 0 in cash. The matter is in the hands of the Latonia police, but so far no trace has been secured of the intruders.
