FLAMBETTES LATONIA OAKS Narrowly Defeats Bit of White in a Rousing Finish. Miss Joy an Easy Victress in the ; Cincinnati Trophy, with Whitneys Bonus Second. LATONIA. Kj. July 2. I. A. Clarks Flambette. victress of the Coaching Club Oaks, -was Irimitivlinut tliis afternoon in tin; Latonia Oaks, which sin won by a scant head from J!it of "White with Aphie Dear in third place and Nancy Leo, a .stable companion to Flambctte and Fallacy, following. The race had a net value to the winner of ?8,870. The mile and a quarter was covered in 2:03. which is four-fifths of a second off from the track record, made by Busy Signal in the same race last year in her memorable victory over Cleopatra. Shipped here from the metropolis Ihis time, the East, or rather P. A. Clark, prepared for the Oaks victory by sending here a pair of the best fillies in that part of the country and it was well he did so, for Nancy Lee, the supposed mainstay of the Clark pair, was an easy victim to Bit of Whites fleetness. However, to Nancy goes the credit of being the main factor in Bit -of Whites downfall, for she forced the Bradley filly to keep herself extended from the start and left her well spent When Flambette offered her stubborn challenge in the last eighth. To Connelly was trusted Flambette and he kept her under restraint at a considerable distance back of the leaders until just before reaching the stretch .turn. .Here bi8ent her forward with a rush and soon drew level with Bit of White, but the latter, in spite of having withstood challenges in succession from Nancy Lee, Fallacy rind Aphie Dear, would not give way and stubbornly disputed every inch of ground until in the last twenty yards, where Flambette succeeded in getting her nose in front and kept it there until crossing the finishing line. During the last sixteenth Flambette came over a trifle from an outer position and had Bit of White in close quarters. Aphie Dear ran an excellent race and but for the fact that she was caught in a pocket on the stretch turn when Butwell tried to rush .er through next to the inner rail she would have been closer to the leading pair. MISS JOY THE PHENOMENAL. The phenomenal Miss Joy was an enforced victress in the Cincinnati Trophy, which had a value f ,400 net to the winner, as well as a trophy. It was dun to the inability of her stable companions, Fair rhauioni and Rockministcr, to head Harry laync AVhitneys Bonus. It was the intention, as in several previous cases, to reserve Mis Joy and win with Fair Ihnutom, with the intent of sav-JiigMiss Joy from a penalty as a stake winner, but" the Whitney filly upset this plan this afternoon by coming with a rush through the last igltji and overhauling Fair Phantom, which had kepf puce with the hard restrained Miss Joy. Luns-ford, seeing Fair Phantoms plight, was forced to move away on Miss Joy in the last sixteenth, but near the end he had the Jones candidate under restraint again. Bonus had no difficulty heading Fair lhaiitom for second place and directly in Fair Phantoms wake came Rockministcr, another Mont-fort Jones candidate. During the early running of the race Miss Joy and Fair Phantom were far in advance of the others and even in the stretch it appeared that the stable could succeed in keeping the penalty off Miss Joy with Fair Phantom to head her at the finish, but Bonus shot out of the field with a rush and, finishing gamely, soon had Fair Phantom in trouble and made a bold threat at displacing Miss Joy from the lead. Then Lunsford gave Miss Joy a free rein and she moved away in a flash. The Hewitt pair, Startle and Washington, were prominent to the stretch, where they gave. way. The race further em pint sized how much superior the fillies are to the two-year-old nits in these parts, the three placed ones beiug of the gentler sex. IMMENSE THRONG DESPITE HEAT. The pair of twin features was responsible for the presence of an immense throng at. the Latonia track, despite the intense heat. Spirited racing ugctin developed, some of the finishes having the crowd enthused to a high pitch. The opener inaugurated the close finishes when By Colly only managed to outstay His Choice and get the verdict in the last stride. Inquisition, like- By Golly, was installed favorite and she proved much the best in the second race. The veteran Bromo, after a two years layoff, essayed a comeback and nearly succeeded, being beaten out u scant neck by the nearly 100 to 1 shot Nelle Yorke. Bromo would h ve won but for going lame in the race. Jim Daisy, which has u pair of victories to his credit during the present meeting, added another one when, he won the sixth race from Buddie Kean and Botheration. He had to be driven to his utmost to outstay Buddie Kean. Kewpie ONcil continues his winning way and beat a good band of platers. Mint Cat landing in second place and Marse John just managing to outstay Klnipalong for the shorter part of the purse. Trainer James Ownbey has terminated connections with the C. H. Knebelkamp stable and will keep Botheration and Thinker here to be rested until the fall opening. The Knebelkamp horses will be shipped to Windsor after the closing here and will be trained by Lon Jones. Jockey Murray was reported resting safely and the doctors in the hospital where he is confined expect him to show no ill effect of his hard fall, though his back is still under suspicion and he complains of pains. Heinisch has several ribs strained and a possible near fracture of one, but was at the track this morning. S. Wida is not showing much improvement and will probably be out -if the saddle for some time. The independence Handicap at a mile and a half, with its 5,000 added, to be run Monday, gives promise of developing an interesting contest. There are nine carded as starters with a pros-poet of all going to the post if the track stays fast. The redoubtable Exterminator is given the top impost and he will rule the favorite, but the lighter ones will not be lucking in supporters from tin big holiday crowd. The dearth of light weight riders here is making it difficult for the owners. Those having carded jockeys and the respective post position of all named to go follows: 1, Travesty: 2, Mint Cat, .losiali; 3 La Rnblec, McAtee; 4, fDancing Spray; 5, Sea Prince; 0, Wood-trap, Connelly; 7, Exterminator, Ilaynes; 8, tMJd-way, F.

Lowenstein were notified by Secretary Schauniburg that stalls for their horses would be reserved at the Aqueduct track, but on account of scarcity of stall space at the track none of the other applicants from here would be accommodated for the present. Todays visitors included Desha Breckenridgc. well-known publisher of Lexington, K., and Jonett Shouse, former assistant secretary of the United States Treasury. The claim lodged by L. Erb for Tribune in the closing race yesterday was held invalid by the stewards because of failure on .the part of Erb to register Lothair, the medium for the claim, with the secretary after he came into his possession.
