KORFHAGE RUNS A FAST THREE-QUARTERS. Devonshire Park Receiving Good Patronage Fair Mao to Start at tho Track. Windsor, Out., October 3. J. M. Bookers Korf-Iiage won the feature race at Devonshire Park today, a selling handicap at three-quarters. This linrse was well ridden by jockey Bedwell, wiio kept his mount in a contending position iii the early running and then came on to win easily. The supporters of the horse were well rewarded, the mutuels paying 5.90. Francis J. Pons two-year-old Bon Otis ran a good race, but tired at the end, after making the early pace. About 5,000 people journeyed to the course today. The track was much faster than on any of the previous afternoons and Korfhage ran his three-quarters in 1:12. The course gives promise of being one of the best in Canada after it has been raced over for a while. George Phillips claimed Baby Lynch after she won on Saturday for 50. Rough riding here has been conspicuous by its absence, as the officials have warned the boys that they will suspend them for any such offense. The Ontario Jockey Club Cup, won by Fair Mac, owned by president Grant Hugh Browne of the Western Racing Association, arrived here from Toronto today. Fair Mac, the winner of the cup, also reached Devonshire Park and will be started at this meeting to give patrons of the course an opportunity to see the horse, which stood one of the severest tests of a thoroughbred in a race over a long distance. Fair Mac will be shipped to Kentucky later on to try for the Latonia Cup. Captain Rogers of the Pinkcrton forces, who had charge of the policing on the tracks under the jurisdiction of the Canadian Racing Associations, has charge of the force here and has stopped numerous undesirables at the gate.
