ENSOR IN LIMELIGHT AGAIN Returns to Empire City and Rides Four Winners and One Second Out of Five Mounts. NEW YORK, N. Y., October 25. Jockey Ensor returned to Empire City yesterday from Latonia, where he rode On Watch in the Latonia Champiou-. ship Stakes and finished second to Cleopatra. That he made liis presence felt, the oralizers will testify, as he won four out of five mounts and finished second . on the fifth. Ensors superior jockeyship was clearly defined in the Rose Tree Purse, when he won with Edwina, clearly outriding Mooney, who had the leg up on Sweet Music, the favorite. The finish was one of the most stirring ones of the meeting and It was only in the last few strides Ensor was able to lift his mount over the winning line. Only three started in this" race, with Sweet Music an odds-ou favorite at the opening, but the pressure of the backing on Edwina and Lady Gertrude, the latter the medium of a heavy plunge, which sent -the Coe filly up to even money at the close. Lady Gertrude could never get in hailing dlstaneeof the two. S. C. Hildreth and his friends went to Krewer in the Hillsdale Handicap like it was all over. From an opening of 9 to 5, the colt was backed to a closing of C to 5, and while he was always in front he was pressed throughout by Elected II. It was only by the energetic ride given him by jockey Sande that he was able to shake off the Voter filly right at the finish. Ensor had an easy time of it, putting R. T. Wilsons Dry Moon across in tire Rainbow Selling Stakes, in which four started. Dry Moon was well I backed and, taking the lead from the rise of the I barrier, won all the way from Vibrate and Ma-vourneen. The second race was easy for W. J. Spiers War Note. Getting off in front, the Spanish Prince colt raced Into a long lead, which lie retained throughout. Phalaris, the favorite, finished absolutely last. Here Is a peculiar gelding. It seems as if he cant get to the front; he sulks. War Note raced like a good colt, running the mile and seventy yards in 1:4373, which is within three-fifths of It second of the track record. He looked so good to E. W. Smith that lie ran him up to ,000 and bought the colt. AVur Note was entered to be sold for ,500. In the opening dash the rejuvenated old plater Aurum returned to the races after a three weeks rest and made good. Under a vigorous ride at the hands of Earl Sstade the gelding raced Lovely and On High into defeat, taking the lead just .before entering the stretch and lusted long enough to beat Mildred! J i
