MUDDY TRACK AT LATONIA CHANGED CONDITIONS CAUSE MUCH SCRATCHING AND SEVERAL UPSETS. Chalmers Leads Voguo from Start to Finish Skilcs Knob Finds tho Going in His Favor Hemlock Defeats Penrod Track Talk. Cincinnati, O., October 19. The splendid pro-pram provided :it .:itoni:i this afternoon was marred by the muddy track conditions that followed a hard and lasting ruin during the night. The threatening weather likewise served to decrease the attendance to a considerable extent, but the volume of speculation held up fairly well, several of the races being good mediums for heavy wagering. J psets were numerous during the afternoon, the failure of Vogue being the most pronounced. She met defeat by the erratic Chalmers, which showed-his best form this afternoon and led the small band opposing him from the rise of the barrier. Starter Morrisscy was lucky to get the four starters in alignment before Chalmers had much opportunity to show his usual fractiousness at the post. Chalmers went into a good lead at once and held Vogue safe at nil times, ultimately winning by a good margin. Another upset came in the three-quarters handicap which was contested by a fairly good band of sprinters with Hob llensley, because of his well known ability to run well in such going, ruling one of the choices, but lie had to follow the suddenly improved Skiles Knob for the entire race. Skiles Knob was favorite in his race of yesterday and was outpaced throughout. The changed going might have been responsible for his good race this afternoon. Penrod was most fancied in the opener and was probably best, but a slow beginning caused him to be a laggard in the early running and he was unequal to the task of wearing Hemlock down. Tush Tush and Martre were most considered for the second race, but both were decidedly shy on speed and were always well beaten, Itlack Beauty winning easily. Sistem Emblem was the choice for the third race and was badly beaten, Bedtime Stories winning from Diamond. The latter would have won with :i better beginning. Todays visitors included II. Mclntyre and Allie Louden, vice-president and secretary, respectively, of the Hamilton Jockey Club. They !iro here to secure ideas for improvements at their track and will r?main until Saturday.
