Days Results Great Crowd and Speculation Heavy. Windsor, Ont., July 25. Surprises were in order at Kenilworth this afternoon and those fortunate enough to hold winning tickets were handsomely rewarded. Jockey Lowder was prominent in the afternoons results. He had the mount on Celtiva, winner of the first race, which paid 9 to ; Isabelle H., which paid 2.10 and Between Us, which paid 09 in the machines. Between Us scored his victory in the afternoons feature, a handicap at three-quarters, to which a purse of ,200 was added. There were some fast horses in this nice, among them Blind Baggage, Fruit Cake, Etruscan and Tea Caddy. Between Us was off none too well, but worked his way through the bunch and, saving ground when entering the homestretch, finished with a good burst of speed and was drawing clear at the end. Blind Baggage carried the steadying impost of 132 pounds and showed a good performance under the weight. Mnnokln, which was .making his first appearance in months, pulled up lame in the race. Uncle Bryn was another first-time starter this season and he was never prominent in the running. The attendance this afternoon was again large and speculation keen.
