PROPAGANDA IS A REPEATER Wins His Second Victory of Present Ottawa Meeting Buxton Stables Luck Changes. OTTAWA, Ont., September 19. Eugene Lutz Propaganda, which is in particularly good form at present, scored his second success of the Con-naught Park meeting this afternoon and incidentally gave Lutz new apprentice, E. Moore, his second victory of the day. Propaganda made all the pace, saved ground on all the turns, and held safe Plain Bill, which furnished the only serious contention. Racing conditions were ideal this afternoon and, with no counter attractions, one of the largest crowds of the meeting turned out. The exhibition, which ranks as the biggest thing of its kind outside of the one at Toronto, came to a close on Saturday, and this was in the main responsible for the large crowd present today. The Buxton Stable, which has not been doing well lately, broke its streak of bad luck when the two-year-old Bill Block won the opening race, a dash of five and a half furlongs for maidens. Bill Block showed the way from start to finish, but had to be ridden out to Beat Nellie Lemon by a scant length. Buxton would have made it a double had Gantuer not been a bit overconfident with Bal-lynew in the third race. Ballynew had a winning lead entering the home stretch after passing Tom Goose when Gantner took a restraining hold on him. Atkinson, on Mike, saw his opportunity and took advantage of it. Before Gantner realized the danger Mike was at Ballyncws side and, after a game and hard drive, got his head in front as they raced past the judges stand. Golden Chance, ridden by E. Moore, was the popular favorite in the second race, and made good, although tiring near the end. He was ridden out when War Tank threatened seriously in the final eighth. Donald Raymond, owner of the Canadian-bred Mouette, ordered his trainer to -withdraw the filly from the race she was entered in this afternoon, for the reason that the race was an open one and, by winning it, she would disqualify herself from starting in next years Kings Plate. Mouettes racing will in the future be confined to contests strictly for Canadian-bred horses. HINPHY TO RIDE IN CUBA.
