STAKE TO ROSE OF JEDDAH FRYE FILLY WINS RACE AT LEXINGTON IN IMPRESSIVE FASHION. Eetting Continues Light and Associations Revenues Fall Behind Record of Previous Meetings Jockey Archibald to Co Abroad. Lexington, Ky., September 1G. The Senorita Stakes, for two-year-old fillies at three-quarters of a mile, was the feature of the card for the third day of the Kentueky Associations fall meeting, and it was won in handy fashion by .1. W. Fryes Kose of .leddah, well ridden by jockey Loftus. Lady Lightning and Azyiade were the betting choices, and they finished second and third, respectively. Lady Lightning had a seemingly commanding lead at the end of the first three-eighths, but coming up the hill she seemed to stop. Rose of Jeddah shot past her like an arrow out of a bow and from that point on was never in trouble, though Lady Lightning came again entering the stretch. Kose of .leddahs people had some doubt as to whether she Would like the distance, but she certainly dispelled it when she got to running. In roundiug the far turn, Ursula Emma fell, with jockey .1. Dcaveniiort under her. The boy had no hones broken, but for a time the accident took the wind out of him, and it was necessary that he cancel his engagement to ride Spalding in the fifth race. The filly was not injured. R. F. Carman furnished three of the afternoons lietting disappointments in Conipton, Sir Cleges aud Semprolus, starters, resiectively, in the first three races. Semprolus made a game effort to take the purse, but was forced to succumb .to Princess Callaway. Backers of Robert Bruce, the favorite, were forced, to observe their money lost long before the race was half over, when the horse was taken witli a hemorrhage. His elimination from the- contest enabled Silver Knight to score an easy victory. Incidentally, he showed sudden improvement over a previous start. f Irving II. Whoatcroft took his first purse la r months when Union .lack led home a mediocre band in the fifth. Jacobite succeeded in beating out lack Weaver for second place. The weather this afternoon was dry but cloudy, there having been showers during the morning and the track was a veritable quagmire. The attendance consequently was lighter than the officials might have expected under more favorable conditions. There were about two thousand present. The betting, as compared with the previous two days, picked up some, but there was still a very considerable falling off from the same days money handling last spring and last fall. The total money handled today was 5,947. On the third day of the meeting last spring the take iu the mutuels was 4,931. and the auctions 7,475, making a total of 2,405, and iu the third day ldst fall it was: Mutuels. 4,902; auctions, ,117; total. 3,019, making ,072 less this fall. The decrease in the. money handled the first three days of this meeting, as compared with the first three days in the fall of 1910, is 2,307, which, at five ier cent commission, means a loss of ,115 to the association and, according to the statement of one of the directors tonight, this lias not been counterbalanced by the increased admission fee. He said that, everything counted, the association is about 00 behind the revenue of the first three days last fall. The big operators may eventually lie driven to put their money into the pari-niutuels, but they are not doing it here. The former auction pool buyers are either betting their money away from the track or not betting at all. The ouly man who is known to have bet as much as 00 in the machines on any horse during this meeting is W. S. Yauko, who, presumably witli the idea of establishing a better price against Quartermaster for a bet that he had made away from the track, nut In 00 each on Cherryola, Raleigh P. D. and ilanbridge.

Commenting on The Managers injury, Mr. McDowell expressed the lelief that it does not auionnt to much, and that the colt would round to his best condition iu a short time, but It is doubtful if he will be a starter until late in the year and possibly not until next spring.
