Continuous rains tint tin- Latouia track In bad condition for racing oday, :uul as the weather continued inclement, the attend nnce- and sieculation fell oil considerably. The cardial feature, in which four starters were originally named to go. was declared off on account of the withdrawal of two. A race at three-quarters was substituted and it tilled to the limit, twelve accenting the engagement. Considering the bad track, the racing was excellent and the liulshcs were close in nearly all instances. The backers of favorites fared poorly, upsets coming frequently. The timidity 01 jockey Henry contributed extensively towards the defeat of Beautiful and Gates, favorites in the olenitis dashes, ltutlt horses got away so badly as to practically dispose of their chances. Tom Hayward, one of the shortest-priced favorites this season in Kentucky, was one of the big dis-apintmeuts of the afternoon. His defeat was held to be due to frequent interference that he suffered throughout the running. The substitute dash went to Duquesne, a consistent racer that was called on to do his best to wear down Magazine, with Tom Bigbec crowding the pair closely at the end. Jockey Henry redeemed himself partially bv brilliant riding on Tay Pay and Jim Gaffney. The last named was lucky to get up in time to beat Camel. A meeting between AAorth and Sprite is practically assured. Owner Hallenbeck signified his intention this morning of running his colt against Mr. Knnpps lilly for any amount under equitable conditions. Sev oral other owners have expressed a desire to run against the pair and General Manager Ilaehmeister lias practically arranged for a special race that will allow all the cracks to engage. The race is intended for Tuesday or Wednesday of next week, and the conditions probably will be announced tomorrow.
