MEMOS PRELIMINARY Makes Auspicious Debut in the Yindsor Feature Poor Ride Beats Oil Bian. WINDSOR, Ont, July IS. The running of Ihe Preliminary Purse, which engaged the best field of the afternoon at the Windsor Jockey Club track, witnessed the Brookdale Stables Corenzio making his first start this year and accounting for the race in a drive from Elemental, with Oil Man third. The. latter was by far the best horse in tho race and only lest because of the incompetent ride that he received. The start found the field leaving in good alignment, with the exception of Quanah, while Nicklaus took up on Oil Man. Second Thoughts, Corenzio and Elemental were racing heads apart in the run through the back-rtretch, while Oil Man was in fourth position. As the field was rounding the turn into the stretch Nicklaus elected to make his move with Oil Man and circled the leaders. This move cost him many lengths and the race, for he finished under the judges stand. Elemental was racing next to the inside rail and Burke went wide in search of the best going and carried the field out with him. In a hard duel through the final eighth Corenzio wore down Elemental and had a short advantage over him at the end, while Oil Man was going fast and finished third but a head behind Elemental. Racing was conducted this afternon over a track that was slow but drying out and favored those that prefer the soft going. Overhead conditior.3 were all that could be desired, but a storm of severe intensity twept the grounds previous to the running of the first race and drove tho crowd to seek the shelter of the lawns. The storm, however, lasted but a few minutes. The crowd was well up to the standard established at other days of the meeting. G. C. Winfreys chestnut filly Lady Boss, a daughter of Manager Waitc Viola Guild, was easily best cf the ten two-year-olds that made up the field in the first race. She was an odds-on favorite and, ridden by Stirling, led from start to finish, displaying a high order of speed in the soft going. Jefferson Livingstons Vennie was second and G. F. Bakers Mart OHara third, the latter finishing with a great rush after a slow beginning. SEW ELL COMBS A DECEIVER. Old Scwell Combs proved a base deceiver in the second race, for he was an outstanding choice. After flattering his admirers by racing into the lead at the head of the stretch, he turned their joy into gloom when ho tired badly in the last eighth and followed home Sloto, Ultra Gold and Helen Atkins, they finishing in the order named. Sloto won easily like a good one. Eleven Canadian-breds met in the third race at three-quarters. It was a stirring contest all the way. Flying Ford set the pace to the far turn before retiring, after which Beljoy assumed the lead. She held the remainder of the way, but was hard pressed at the end with Bengore gaining with every stride and losing only by a nose. Flea also ran well, though tiring right near the finish. Maiden jockeys. That explains the defeat of Oo La La in the fourth race, the conditions of which called for jockeys who had never ridden a winner. A boy named It. Rowden had the mount on Oo La La and if he had sat still in tho saddle and just held on, the three-year-old would have won. But he was a busy youngster and tried everything but the right tiling. First he pulled up at the start, then messed her about and finally went to the extreme outside. And in spite of all this Oo La La nearly won. She fought it out with Natural all through the last eighth and only gave way in the last few strides. D. Gideon wa3 an arrival from New York and will remain for a few days during this meeting. G. C. Winfrey will in future train the horses of Messrs. Payne and West, who race under the nom de course of the Kenton Stable. Trainer J. P. Smith will take All Fair to Saratoga for J. W. Bean of Washington at the conclusion of the Kenilworth meeting. Jockey W. W. Taylor received a check for 00 from Jefferson Livingston for winning tho Provincial Stakes with Hopeless on Saturday. Associate steward J. B. Campbell will leave on a fishing expedition at the close of thi3 meeting, returning to Hamilton in time for the opening at that point. E. Lohs good three-year-old Star Jester, which will be seen under colors at this meeting, was worked a mile for his stake engagement on the closing day. Jockey C. Turner was a visitor this afternoon and will be out of the saddle until racing is resume at this point. His shoulder and collarbone are mending. Several of the important stables will remain at Windsor during the Kenilworth meeting, vanning their horses daily to that point. Among those that will remain hero are J. K. L. Ross, E. F. Whitney, G. M. Hendrie and the Seagram stable.
