The speedy Believe Idle Hour further demonstrated that she ranks with the best grade of sprinters in these parts by a decisive triumph over colts and fillies of her own age starting in the feature race number, a dash of three-quarters, and covered the distance in 1:11, hard held at the finish. Fallacy landed in second place and Brunswick third. The latters race this afternoon must not be taken too seriously, for Luns-ford gave him a misjudged ride. At that it U doubtful whether even with the best sort of riding lie would have been dangerous to the winner, for the Bradley filly showed superior speed from the. outset, her even quarters for the first half of 23 and 23and had her followers well spent and itenabled her to gallop along in the stretch at her riders pleasure and hold Fallacy safe.

Fallacy continued on and worked out an aditional quarter in preparation for her race in the Latonia Oaks next Saturday. Backers of favorites scored frequently during tlm course of the afternoon, choices leading their opponents home in successive fashion.

The J. B. Respess silks scored in the mile and a sixteenth ,800 purse, when Make Up won after a mild drive from Tippo Sahib with Aph in third place.

May Bodine, in the final race, made it a perfecf. day for the favorites backers, but her victory was a lucfcy one and with better, .racing luck Lough Red, an outsider, would probably have led her at the finish.
