DR CLARKS SPLENDID fEAT Wins the Richest Handicap of the Year in Gallant Style Minto II and Boniface Run Great GreatEaces Eaces in Finishing Second Secondand and Third LATONIA Ky July 5 It became patent enrly that all attendance records here would be sur ¬ passed when the crowding numbers began entering the course anil every available vantage point in the grandstand was occupied before coon There was no cessation of arrivals until long after the second race had been run Delegations from near ¬ by cities were particularly extensive the Louisville and Lexington representation being especially large Society was out lit full force and the clubhouse and reserved section was inadequate for their accommodation accommodationWhat What applied to the crowd held good with re ¬ spect to betting activity and at times the extensive battery of inutuel machines and their crews were not sufficient to care for the volume of speculation offered More perfect weather for out of doors sport could not be conceived than that which prevailed A cool breeze blew through the stands and just enough clouds were in the skies to temper the rays of the sun The track projMjr was in the best condition it hascver been andf ast jJimewa4sthe Ltesultr n lUrthVTlashes Once more the East triumphed in one of the principal stake offerings of the Kentucky season when Dr Clark carrying the silks of Harry Payne Whitney coupled with Wildair and ridden by Frank Coltiletti accounted for the Independence Handicap worth 1795050 to the winner Fight ¬ ing it out in stubborn style and only beaten a neck at the end came Minto II to he closely fol ¬ lowed by Boniface which just managed to last long enough to bead Leochares with Captain Mac following close up upThe The winner dominated the running practically from the start but his victory was assisted mate ¬ rially by the good riding he received from Colti ¬ letti The Whitney adherents were none too jubi ¬ lant when the start came for Ambrose on Wildair Hie mainstay of the pair took him back sharply when Boniface came over too short from an out ¬ side position and it caused Wildair to be last in leaving the barrier Coltiletti however rushed Dr Clark to the ncnt but he was in imminent danger of losing the lead in the first quarter as a result of Dr Clark attempting to run out Colti ¬ letti succeeded in making him desist and at the same time kept him in advance of the others Menacing challenges were offered early by Minto II and Boniface but Dr Clark kept at his task steadily and even in the last sixteenth he con ¬ tinued doggedly on in response to Coltilettis urg ¬ ing and gamely outstayed Minto II Boniface found his 131 pounds burdensome in the last eighth and lie shortened his stride perceptibly but lasted long enough to finish in advance of the veteran Leochares The latter ran an exception ¬ ally good race and came with a fine rush after having been forced to come wide and close an immense gap The showing of Captain Mac was also noteworthy and he hung on well for the en ¬ tire race Over There was a disappointment and the interference he suffered from on the last turn did not cut imirli figure in the result resultAdded Added merit in Dr Clarks performance was the fact that he equaled the track record of 156 for the distance held jointly by Drastic Milton B and Handier HandierBoniface Boniface was given the betting call but was only favored slightly over the Whitney pair Dr Clarks victory this afternoon incurs a penalty for him in the Ten Broeck and Daniel Booue Handi ¬ caps capsFOUR FOUR STRAIGHT FOR FLAGS FLAGSThe The late J B Klwells colors again figured ex ¬ tensively in todays results and two representatives from the establishment took the respective purses they contested for
