CtIO CHOS STAKE VICTORY i 1 ; I Wins Latonias Autumn Handicap From Start to Finish. - Great Crowd Assembles to View the Racing and Is Rewarded j by Excellent Sport. -I LATOIXA, Ky.. September 5. E. E. Corn-sons threo-year-old filly Clio Clio came out of lier summers retirement and triumphed this afternoon over u splendid band of sprinters that made tlie contest in the Autumn Handicap at three-quarters, worth ,500 net to the winner, the same amount as it "was worth last year, won then by Anson, which finished third in todays running. Senator J. 1 X. Camdens Rangoon being the runner-up. As in last years running ten started. The stake race was easily the feature on the card of seven good dashes provided for the edification of the immense holiday gathering that thronged th spacious La ton la plant to overflowing. Con-HideHng a threatened storm, with ils prospect of breaking loose at any moment, the wonderfully large attendance attested the great liold the sport has on the public in these parts. Cho Clios performance was of a brilliant order, the .lack Atkin - Hnglish Esther filly displaying fine speed iiinl racing into a good lead early in the proceedings. She never left the result in doubt, finishing her task with only a tin co-quart er speed gallop through the last sixteenth and won hard held. Rangoon also showed fine form, for he began somewhat awkwardly, resulting in his being one of the rear ginrd at the outset and enforcing his racing wide to move into u prominent position, but he kept gaining steadily and was going fast at the finish. Angon raced prominently from the "start and at one time fluttered his support ere and threatened to repeat his last years victory, but he was not good enough, and near the finish he had to be driven hard to outstay Brookholt. which, also being trained by J. C. Milam, was coupled with Rangoon in Hie betting. HIGH COST BIG DISAPPOINTMENT. The disappointment of the race was the Florisant Stables High Cost, which ruled :i slight favorite and never figured in the running, though he was ai a disadvantage through a tangled beginning. The mile purse, the afternoons secondary feature, resulted in an upset in the victory of Blanche Mac, a much underrated one that had been showing good form in the spring and masquerading as a plater. She led the good band opposing her Unlay from the start and, well ridden by lorrelto. won easily from We-.wood. yih Legal in thirt place. Anhie I";ir bad the call here, but her performance was a dull iuo und indicated she was :ti a disadvantage in such going. Wolfs Cry, that Knebelkamp added to his stable Miring his Canadian campaign, made his racing debut here an auspicious one. Incidentally it marked the first winner saddled by L. Johnson, who formerly trained the horses of L. A. Cella. The colt showed a fine performance in leading from the start under the guidance of the diminutive A. Wilson and won easily from Suave Prince and Hern ice K. Miss Crestwood, in this, by her stub-borness, kept the field at the post for some time and was in a measure to blame for the jam that caused Colossus to be a sufferer soon after the start. It practically destroyed his chances. Hetting wisdom was all astray during the afternoon, those supported with confidence failing their backers in steady succession, the exception being High Gear, which only gave a small return on in-.eMmonts. There was no fault with the racing, however, for tin; sport was interesting and finishes cloe in the main. Kuby, running in her former colors, those of J. Vmensetler, proved a popular enticement with the crowd, and started off the majority when she comfortably led Columbia Tenn home in the opener, 1 hough the latter had plentiful support. Ruby displayed her best form and was favored by the soft goi" Oallaher Bros. Olyn, a daughter of Delhi Hourbou Lass, the latter a frequent winner in the Gnllahcr colors, made a runaway witli the purse in the second race, a dash that brought a dozen maiden fillies to the post. Margaret Winsor and College Girl divided the shorter portions of the purse. High Gear and Virgo absorbed the most attention in the third race, -a dash of a mile and three-sixteenths, and it was always between them, High Gear winning easily. ANOTHER SARATOGA PURCHASE WINS. Parader, which Eon Calm bought at Saratoga for T. .1. Pendergasts account from the late S. A. Clopton, made good at his first asking here and won from a good band of crack platers that included General Haig and Furbelow. It was Scobies second winner of the afternoon and he rode the victor faultlessly. General Haig, although sore when going to the post, ran a game race and showed the most early speed, but his bad underpinning caused him to flinch badly in the stretch, although he Ircld to his task gamely and outstayed Furbelow for second place. Parader was the second winning favorite of the afternoon. Jockeys Garner, Gregory and Fields were each suspended for three days by the starter for disobedience while at the post. Kesldent manager Harry F. Hreivogel was reported resting comfortably at the Good Samaritan Hotel after a successful operation performed on him for a throat affliction. He will probably be able to resume his duties later in the week. During his absi-nce H. C. Applegate will act in his place. The. closing of Devonshire Park at Windsor Saturday augmented the list of owners here considerably, and among the newcomers were A. L. Kirby, .1. L. Paul. W. A. Knebelkamp, Mrs. M. A. Dalt-ncr. J. Phillips. J. J. Troxk-r, It. J. Gilmorc, T. F. Drake and W. L. Drake. William Snyder, who did the starting at Devon-j shire Park on the final day. joined the forces ofj starter A. 1!. Dade this morning. j A license has been granted to jockey W. Crump, j who has been abscut from the saddle for some time. G. F. Raker has contracted for second call on the servR-i-s of II. Gregory. T. C. McDowell. R. W. Hunter and E. Pollard, menilers of the Kentucky State Racing Commission, were among the afternoons visitors. Congressman Arthur H. Rouse of this district had as his guest this afternoon congressman Gordon Lee of Georgia. Roth were highly attentive to the racing and attending incidents. George Land, who was operated on at Saratoga for nppendictis, arrived this morning to resume the training and superintendency of the Frank J.
