June 16. — Told weather and 1 a liard rain were instrumental in reducing todays v attendance at Litonia considerably and also de- J tractod much from the racing. Just licfore racing I time there was a cessation of the downfall and J lifter the third race, the sun made a brave effort :l to disi»el the heavy clouds and succeeded at in- torvals. There were no outstanding features and I the speculatively inclined found additional diffi- !l clllties in the changed going. Only four contested the three-quarters sprint * that was regarded as the feature and it resulted in an easy victory for Fleetnblc over Hawthorn. J a the extreme outsider, with Bars and Stars, the J favorite last. The winner showed well in the mud- ■ dy going and racing in her best style, came away Jn the stretch as her rider pleased. Rars and Stars ■ was not a factor after going the first three- J t-igliths. Hackers of White Crown, which was beaten in * the last stride by Borgo. had a just grievance ■when that racer met defeat solely due to the misjudged riding received from Graves in the early running. White Crown threatened to make a run- I away of the race and. after turning into the I stretch, apparently hail the purse at his mercy, but the diminutive rider allowed him to go all over the truck. The result was that Borgo. saving much ground on the turn, got up in the last stride to secure a lucky victory. Borgo was given confident BiipiHirt and ruled favorite for the race. In the opener, J. B. Bespess Langden achieved an easy victory over the first-time starter. Blue-hannock. but he hail to stand a run-up of 05 tc protect the colt, which was entered for 00. The defeat of Blue Cap, an overwhelming favorite in the second race, by May McGoe. was a severe blow to the talent, who regarded her as tin best netting proposition of the afternoon. Boyal II. and Colonel Vennie. which icmporarily were put out of commission by being kicked by Old Koenig. are recovering steadily and will he back in racing within the next ten days. Jockey Kirschbaum has been released by the E. H. Bradley utable because of scarify of material in the establishment, most of the horses being on the ailing list. Charles E.

Bigtodo. Cardome, Ratina and Dignity were excused from starting on account of their inability to race well in muddy going. There is a rumor that the recent recapitalization of the Louisville Jockey Club is a forerunner of the probable purchase of the Douglas 1ark plant by the Churchill Downs stockholders, with the ultimate transfer of the Churchill Downs racing to Douglas Park and the dis: osal of Churchill Downs for building purposes.
