DOUBLE FOR E. R. BRADLEY BAC AND BROOKFIELD SCORE AT LATONIA FOR PROMINENT CHICAGO OWNER. Disagreeable Conditions Continue, but Surprisingly Large Number Patronize Races Public Picks the Winners, Cincinnati, 0., October 24. Weather conditions at Latonia this atternoon were on a par with former disagreeable days since the opening. The track was in the worst shape of the season. Considering the adverse conditions, it was remarkable that so large a crowd should be in attendance. The betting was the heaviest of any day during this meeting. The general public fared well, for they managed to land on most of the winners. The chief failures of the day were Oakland, Anion and Brave. This trio was handled by Borel and, as he has an extensive following, huge amounts were lost by the non-success of these horses. Borel displayed rather ordinary horsemanship in handling Amon and Brave, with both of which he might have won had he shown better judgment. He has, however, been riding so well all season that his errors of judgment today will be readily overlooked. E. R. Bradleys representatives scored a double during the afternoon. Both of his winners, Bac and Brookfield, were at fairly good odds aud resulted in considerable profit for their owner. They were both ridden by the diminutive McDonald. The opening dasli went to John Gund, over an ordinary band, with Decathlon, a first-timer here, taking second money, and Squire Bill third. Bolala had a narrow escape from defeat in the second race and succeeded only in the last seventy yards In getting in front of Birdie Williams. The only other favorite to score during the day was Cream. She won handily, with L. H. Adair in second place. Curlicue, in the closing dash, enabled the western jockey, P. Hill, to score his first winner on the Kentucky tracks. The boy displayed good horse-lnaushii in making his tiring mount last long enough to get the purse. Following Bacs good performance today and Big Spirits had showing yesterday Judge Price decided to drop further inquiry into Gooses handling of Big Spirit -several days ago. Goose will be allowed to ride again as soon as his suspension by the starter expires. Wiunlng Witch and Ravenal were excused from starting on account of ailing legs. Star Actress was claimed out of the closing race last night by M. A. Colton, owner of Marshou, for S5. Messrs. Carr, Thomas Piatt and Sanford Lyne, prominent breeders, were among todays visitors. The two-horse combination, consisting of Bolala and Bac, yielded .S5. The three-horse was composed of Cream, Brooktield and Curlicue. Capt. C. A. Tiiles, who holds the majority of the stock in the Latonia track, paid a brief visit here today and returned tonight to St. Louis. He will be back again as soon as the weather improves. H. II.
