REGISTRARS INTERNATIONAL Captures Keniiworth Parks Big Inaugural Day Attraction. Bonifaces Unruly Behavior at the Post Eliminates Him Great Racing- Before Big Crowd. WINDSOR, Ont., July 22. Registrar, a four-year-old son of Friar Rock Star oi Danube, and coupled with Boniface as tho J. K. L. Ross entry, was returned the winner of the International Handicap, which occupied the stellar position on the card at Keniiworth Park this afternoon. E. Lohs Star Jester took second pracc, white G. F. Bakers John Finn was third, with the Seagram Stables Golden Sphere fourth. Tho race was at a mile and an eighth, to which 0,000 was added. To earn the lions share of the feature attraction jockey Ambrose was forced to ride Registrar hard through the final sixteenth to establish a new track record of 1 :52, clipping one and one-fifth seconds from the old mark. The field that faced the barrier was tho best that could be mustered in these parts and the race attracted widespread attention. The start was delayed for eleven minutes and Boniface, carrying top weight of loii pounds, was responsible for the delay. When the starter caught the field in good alignment and sent them on their way, Star Jester was hustled into the lead by Rowan, closely pressed by Golden Sphere and Registrar, while Guy was heading Firebrand. The latter was racing on the outside and for a brief period loomed up as a serious factor, but tired miserably. Thompson wrested the lead from Star Jester with Golden Sphere as the field was racing to the far turn, while Ambrose, astride Registrar, was content to remain within close striking distance. Boniface in the meantime was gradually improving his position on the inside. In a grueling battle through the final eighth, in which Golden Sphere was quitting badly. Star Jester and Registrar fought it out through tho final sixteenth and Registrar drew away under severe pressure. Star Jester hung on with gameness and just managed to outlast the fast-closing John Finn, which came with a rush at the end. Golden Sphere had but a small margin over Boniface, which, despite his fractious behavior at the post and top weight, came with his usual rush at the end. BIG OVATION FOR WINNEK. Registrar came back to the winners circle and was accorded a great ovation. The Rons entry were post favorites, while during tho early calculations Guy was accorded the stoutest support. The race this afternoon netted the J. K. L. Ross coffers the sum of ,0S0 net. A crowd that taxed the capacity of tho Keniiworth plant journeyed to the course to witness tho running of todays excellent program. The weather could hardly be improved on, though the sun was obscured during the greatest part of the afternoon. The track was in splendid condition and fast timo recorded. G. C. Winfrey had the honor of winning the first race of the meeting. His colors were carried by Lady Boss and the daughter of Margaret Waite kept them in front all the way. She ran her opponents dizzy, showing great speed throughout and equaling tho track record of 1 :00 for five-eighths in leading home Vennie by a length. Rustem was third, while Oakwood and Bill OFlynn, of which much was expected, failed badly. The majority of the speculatively inclined placed their hopse on Baby Mine in the second race. She never gave them a moment of uneasiness, holding a safe lead from start to finish with her rider easing her up at the end. June Fly was second, hard pressed by Bengore, only a neck separatism them as they dashed past the judges. Yorlts ist ran a poor race, far below his true form. VICTORY FOR G. 31. HENDRIE. A dozen three-year-olds - of the cheaper grade met in the third race, the J. K. L. Rora Procyon and the Florisant Stables Anglum Maid receiving the bulk of the wagering. The winner turned up in G. M. Hendrie3 Rocky Mountain, with Procyon second and Mo-s Fox if. third. The latter set the paee to the stretch where Rocky Mountain pasred him and then had to be ridden out to withstand the fast and game closing rush of the Ross representative. Anglum Maid wis never dangerous. J. B. Respess furnished the winner of the fourth race in Suave Prince, a chestnut colt by Frizzle Grace Cole. Ho got away quickly, set a fast pace and was never in trouble. At the end he was drawing away. Peter Piper, the veteran sprinter, showed a flash of his old-time speed, but not enough to threaten the winner, and, in fact, just enough to hold second place safe from Madeline Lillian. Joseph McLennan was called to Chicago last night by the death of his uncle. A. Chalmers. During his absence Wash Norvell acted as clerk cf the scales.
