Blanchita Takos a Race for Owner McDowell Stewards Inquire Into Inconsistent Running Official Announcement of Juarez Opening. Cincinnati, O., October 13. Todays card -was somewhat below the Latonia standard. Horses of ordinary calibre contested most of the racos, but no fault -was found with the sport, for it wis wholesome and the purses keenly contested. The feature, if such it could be termed, was a selling handicap at one mile and an eighth, which resulted in a victory for Floral Park by a narrow margin over Syrian, with Yenghee leading Solid Rock, the only other starter. The quartet ran closely grouped from the start. Floral Park was the outsider of the race and disposed of Syrian, the favorite, in the last sixteenth. It was Floral Parks first winning race in a long time. Trainer T. P. Hayes saddled another winner, when Kinney managed to scurry home in advance of the sprinters lie met in the three-quarters allowance race. He had to lie urged strongly to out stay Arch Plotter, a first-time starter hero. Jim Wakely proved best of the maidens in the opening dash and won easily from J. C. Stone. Matin was lucky to win the second race, as Spring Song, a first-timer owned by T. C. McDowell, was best anil was beaten only because of greenness at the barrier, which caused her to be practically left at the post. The McDowell colors were carried to victory in the third race by Blanchita. Weather and track conditions were again perfect for the sport and a surprisingly large crowd was on hand. Speculation was also of generous volume. The activity of the stewards continues and It. P. Dickinson was given a severe grilling this morning by the officials, for tin; inconsistent running of Guide Post. He was told in no uncertain language that consistency on the part of his horses would be expected in the future. The stewards also issued notice after Floral Parks victory today that her entry in the future would not be accepted at this track.

Said Steward Charles F. Price: "We intend to treat all bad actors alike and bar them on justification." Spring Wheats victory was followed by a summons for owner Perkins to explain that horses bad showing in his last, start and his sudden improvement ioday. Perkins had a lengthy session with the stewards and his explanation, that the addition of blinkers to the horses equipment today, was responsible for his improved showing, was accepted.
