LEXINGTONS SECOND DAY Racing Furnished by Ordinary Horses With Interesting Results. . Jockey Kennedy Guides Three Winners and a Second Jorice Takes Another Purse. BY J. L. DEMPSEY. LEXINGTON. Ky., September 20. Jockey B. Kennedys good riding was the feature in connection with the racing here this afternoon. A surprisingly large attendance was on hand to view the sport despite the lack of features, for the offering was decidedly ordinary, with five races under claiming conditions and only two at over n mile. Kennedy began his success with Jorice in the opening race. She was an overwhelming favorite. Incidentally, it gave her the distinction of being the first double winner of the present meeting. Jorice carried the colors of Mrs. J. L. Paul and the same silks with the same rider flashed by in advance at the finish in the fifth race when Missed the Time led home a mediocre band. Kennedy also triumphed in the preceding race while astride Mary Gaffney, nnd just failed making it a perfect score with liis four mounts when he was beaten a nose astride Texas Special in the third race. The latter succumbed to Black Thong. Favorites did not fare well, most of them being beaten. Lloyd Gentry furnished a pair of the offenders in his Ground-Swell and Sand. Bed. Rangoon wa another" thai . eost,.-vthe -backer? consider- able, but they had consolation in the knowledge that they supported a crack colt, one that will win frequently when he becomes more accustomed to racing. 0. A. Bianchi has decided to take a well-earned rest after twenty-eight years of continuously being in harness and will turn over the horses he is training for W. W. Williamson to J. L. Paul, who will campaign them and those owned by Mrs. J. L. Paul at New Orleans next winter. Incensed because Stone astride Black Thong had crowded his mount, Texas Special, during the stretch drive, jockey Kennedy struck Stone with his whip when they returned to the jockeys quarters, and the stewards fined him S100. Former Senator Johnson N. Camden, chairman of the Kentucky State Racing Commission, was among the visitors this afternoon. FBINCE PALATINE LEAVES ENGLAND. There were advices here tills morning that Prince Palatine, for which Edward F. Simms paid a big sum, had left England yesterday for America, and that Negofol, sire of Hourless and other noted horses, will be shipped today. Both horses are expected to arrive early next week, and after a brief stay in Now York will be transferred to Xnlapa Farm, near Paris, Ky., where they will make their future liome. Gnllaher Bros. Sewell Combs will probably not be seen under colors this fall, as he contracted fever while en route here from Canada. Uncle Velo is another that probably will not be raced until next year on account of illness. Harry F. Breivogel departed tonight for La-tonla, where he will give attention to details pertaining to the opening of the coming Latonia meeting: The program book embracing the first seven days of racing at Latonia was distributed here to owners this morning. The fat purses and the generally diversified conditions brought about favorable expressions. Samuel Ross of "Washington, extensively identified with racing and associated in the ownership of several noted horses with Admiral Cary T. Grayson, was among the arrivals today. He was accompanied by Captain P. M. Walker. Both will stay for some time. Lloyd Gentry has turned out The Ally, LErrant nnd Right Over Might until next spring. Flags, Roll On and Rising Rock will join them on the farm at the close of Louisville racing, but Sunny Slope, Ground-Swell, Social Star, Sand Bed and Nenettc are intended for winter racing and will he shipped to New Orleans to campaign. , H.
