NEARLY DONE AT HAMILTON Next to the Last Day Devoted to Claiming Races. . Kuklux Victorious in the Feature Race of the Afternoon Sea Tales Steeplechase. HAMILTON, Out.. August ."..It was another ordinary card that was offered on the Hamilton Jockey Club course this afternoon, the program being given over for the most part to races under claiming conditions. A fairly speedy band of sprinters faced the starter in the fiftli race and it resulted in a victory for C. W. Hails Kuklux. The winner was ridden by Romanelli and his skill was mainly responsible for the geldings victory. The battle for the place honors produced a spectacular struggle and Phantom Fair managed to outstay the fast finishing Siigarmint by a short margin of inches. Ima Frank was installed a topheavy choice, but Thurbers ride was a rather weak one and, despite the fact that she raced in blinkers, Ima lost sufficient ground on the stretch turn to destroy her chance. J. W. Pangle graduated a maiden from the ranks this afternoon when he saddled Cubauita. She was returned first by a wide margin, and was the easiest winner of the day. Oriental Park was second, with Eastward Princess third. The daily steeplechase race was taken by C. K. Harrison, Jr.s Sea Tale, from Nonus with Mc-CorbunT third. The winner withstood repeated challenges from Nonus, and drew away at the end. Entries for the opening day at Fort Eric close with J. 15. Campbell at the secretarys office here Saturday morning.
