Whitlows AVesty Hogan justified this afternoon at Latonia, i K. the liigh regard in which he has been lield, ivhen f he accounted for the Fort Thomas Stakes, which a brought together all the good two-year-olds that t could be mustered in these parts. lie won in a b manner that stamps him as a crack youngster, t The race was at three-quarters and had a net n value to the winner of ,S25. Sunbonnet was e the runner-up and Mary Belle just beat Believe Me Boys for third .place. The Bradley filly was s the leader in the early running, with "Westy Hogan t a close second under hard restraint. lie drew out j decisively when called on. Sunbounet, after suf- fering from interference at the start, worked her 1 way up steadily and finished a fast going second. -j Secretary Campbell was successful in bringing out t all the stars in local training and provided the . best racing card of the Kentucky fall racing season. The sport was of high class, with the finishes close and contention spirited from barriers rise t to the finish. t The continued activity on the part of the stewards has firmly convinced owners, trainers, jockeys and 1 others here that the occasional fast and loose j policy some have followed is now a thing of the past and that transgressions, if there are any, will be dealt with in no half-hearted fashion. AV. .1. Webers Hodge, which at present is in rare form, gave another sparkling exhibition when J he won the mile anil an eighth handicap, in which lie was conceding scale weight to all the others. He allowed Grumpy to lead on stiff em nee and drew , out in the stretch to win as his rider pleased, while Grumpy outstayed 1rince Hermis for second place. A. K. Macombers colors were victorious in the 1 opener when Seminole King emerged from the : maiden class by a victory over Hazelnut. The consistent Sleetli added another winning : bracket to his score when he won the second race. Nobleman furnished an upset when he outstayed a good band of selling sprinters in the third race. Aogue took all the crack sprinters into camp in the sixth race, wli-n she stood a terrific drive and beat Bringhurst nonie, with the fast going J. J. Murdoch in third t.lace. Hank ODay, favorite for the rcce, ran out on the stretch turn, which Jelimi-natcd him, and Kytileen found her task too .severe under her weight impost. Part of the .1. B. Goodman stable was shipped yesterday to Kenilworth Park, where they will be raced. .7. II. Ileiry, Jr., 1 r.s sold the filly Spring Song, which lie claimed out of the opening race yesterday, to E. 1. Colton. M. J. Winn, manager of the Juarez track, notified Eugene Elrod, who will have elmrge of the betting arrangements at the Mexican course, that the season of racing there will be for a period of 100 or more days, beginning on Thanksgiving Day and that an incrase over the announced 00 purses will be made, if conditions warrant it. Todays attendance was on a par with the best fall gathering seen at the course. Speculation was likewise of banner proportions. Jockey Buxton, who rode Sunbounet today, complained after the race to the stewards that Kederis on Berlin had deliberately offered interference to Sunbomiet at the start. Starter Morrissoy corroborated Buxton. The stewards promptly suspended Kederis for ten" days. Mr. and Mrs. A. K. Macomber departed tonight for a brief visit to Lexington.
