Ky.. where Governor AVilson was hearing statements from representatives of the Lutonia Jockey Club and the State Kac-mg Commission regarding the revocation of the La-tonia license, was of momentous interest to the majority of horsemen, and when Harvey Mvers sent a message here from Frankfort to John llaelimeister in tlie following language. "Governor takes time, no Urospects of military interference." si considerable ijtrain was relieved. The opinion after the receipt tills message was that the governor, although taking the matter under advisement, would leave the case to the court.s for decision. Meanwhile it is presumed Unit until linal disposition of the present proceedings racing here will go on uninterrupted without further show of hostility from the Racing Commission. Todays card was a featureless one. a handicap at six furlongs, in which Miss Sain. Al Muller. Saliv Ireston and Topsy Robinson started, being the best offering. Originally Colloquy was scheduled to start. Stul anticipation that she would not run well in the slippery going caused her to be withdrawn. Miss Sain was made an overwhelming choice near the end over Al Muller and scored a rather easy victory over the Fizor candidate. Ileidels effort on the latter was not a brilliant one and lie contributed largely to iMiss Sains victory. Al .Muller. witli his usual high speed, went into a long lead until reaching the stretch turn, where lleidel took him extremely wide and allowed Miss Sain to gain a nuni-lier of lengths on him. In the final drive lleidel rode weakly and the Ryan Ally hail little difficulty in shaking Al Muller off in the last sixteenth and won witli sliced in reserve.
