WOODBINES STANLEY PRODUCE STAKES TORONTO, Ont., September 29. The Stanley Produce Stakes, an open sweepstakes for three-year-olds, was offered as the feature attraction at Woodbine Park this afternoon and brought ont a good band of Canadian-breds to contest it. Frank Murphy signalized his return to the saddle by winning with Woodbine from the Brookdale Stable. Woodbine won out in the .final sixteenth under a hard drive from Sweet Bouquet, while Algonquin was third. The winner was extensively supported and . went to the post the shortest priced winner of the day. I Rain which fell this morning had but little ef- feet on the going, which, after being turned over by the harrows, was good during the remainder of the afternoon. The cold and unseasonable weather had no effect on the attendance, which was of large proportions. Racing throughout the day was of a spirited order, a number of contests being decided by short margins. The Michaelmas Handicap, for thrce-year-plds, a dash of three-quarters of a mile, furnished a tilt for players when Polythia. ridden by Dodd, led home Ikey T. and Irish Jig. The Coventry Steeplechase offered thrills and spills and found Algnrdi and Stucco battling it out alone at the finish, the former winning by a short head. Dandy fell at the second fence and rolled over jockey Stretch. Fortunately on examination the latter was found to be slightly shaken up. Silas Veitch has sold the aged plater Little Nearer to J. Hope. The latter will take her to Cuba for winter racing. R. Newall has purchased the bay yearling by Calgary Hampton Dame from W. Krausman. Harry Giddings has. two yearlings by Anmer that have been given their preliminary racing lessons here. Anmer is a gift to the Canadian breeding industry by Kiug George of England.
