LAUREL HAS A DISQUALIFICATION. Joe Kcnyon Loses Purse After Finishing First, and I T. C. McDowells lima Is the Gainer. Laurel, Mil., October 27. The first disqualification of the Laurel meeting came with the running of the fonrth race this afternoon, a selling affair at one . mile and seventy yards, in which Samuel Ross Joe ; Kcnyon was an easy first. Joe Kenyou was a well-backed favorite and fiuished half a dozen lengths in 1 advance of T. C. McDowells lima. In the early running lima went to the front, with Joe Kenyon under restraint to the stretch turn. When Forehand 1 made his move he passed lima without much effort, and took the lead as they showed for home. Forehand either became careless or was unable to keep Joe Kenyon straight, as the latter bore to the inside i just after being straightened in tho home stretch. : Nolan pulled lima up, but the latter was badly ; beaten when the interference occurred. In the final 1 furlong Joe Kenyon drew away at his leisure and it r seemed improbable that Nolans claim of foul would 1 be allowed. The stewards probably based their action ou the report of the patrol judge, as after ho : left a change in the placing was quickly made, which gave the first money to lima and at the same - ; time moved The Whip and Roebuck iuto the minor : places. There were several mishaps during tho afternoon. There was a false break while the horses were at - the post iu the fifth race aud Romp ran three furlongs before Guy Burns got him under control. In the actual racing Romp outbroke his coinpanv and I was a keen factor to the stretch turn, where he s faltered and Burns pulled Him up. On examination i it was found that the horse had wrenched all of his i tendons loose, which means that his racing das-s i are ended. In the following race Arondack was ! jumped on rounding the first turn and the tendons ! of her off fore leg were severed. The foot was i dangling and the marb was destroyed to end he: suffering. Favorites won two races, tho successful choices i being Seneca and Duke of Bridgewater. Both horses-won by big margins. 0. U. Davids purchased the three-year-old Iland-rumiing from T, G. Molinelil this morning and the : horse ran in Mr. Davids interest in the sixth race. The management anuounced another novelty race ! for Wonday, when a five-mile race will be given be tween an aeroplane, two automobiles and a couple i of motor cycles. J. G. Wagnou, owner of Semi-quaver and others, suffered a broken arm as a result of a kick by the mare Ynca yistnlay. . - -- . ,-. -: - Moyfcoy Eddie Dugan left for Cincinnati last night.
