TWO MORE FOR j. K. L. ROSS Diadema and Canmore Score the Usual Double for Stable. Brilliant Jester Accounts for Main Race, With Muttikins Second and Irish Jig Third. WINDSOR. Ont.. July 24. The J. K. L. Ross-II. McDaniel confederacy continued on its winning way by accounting for two of this afternoons races at Kenilworth Park, Diadema taking the seven-eighths allowance affair from a bulky band of Canadian-breds, while Canmore graduated from the ranlcs of the maidens in the first. Diadema was ridden by Ambrose and was coupled with Sudor. The entry was a pronounced choice and netted the smallest dividend of the meeting. Diadema dominated the running throughout and at no stage left the result in doubt, running the seven-eighths in 1 :26, clipping one-fifth from the mark established by Rocky Mountain on Saturday. A thrilling battle developed in the running of the opening dash, which was contested by a field of two-year-olds. The winner came from an unexpected quarter when Canmore got up in the final strides to earn a nose verdict from Curland, while Tycoon was third. The winner was given but scant consideration in the wagering and netted a large return for the usual ?2 investment. The card at Kenilworth this afternoon was made up of claiming races, with the exception of the fourth, which was a handicap for a purse of ?2,OC0. The crowd was of good proportions for a Monday, despite the threatening weather which prevailed throughout the afternoon, and the track was fast. The handicap was the most pretentious offering of the day and it resulted in victory for the Seagram Stables Brilliant Jester, while J. IC L. Ross Muttikins earned second place in a desperate finish with Irish Jig. HARD RATTLE FOR SECOND PLACE. The field was dispatched in a good alignment and Muttikins was the lirst to show in front, with Brilliant Jester rated along in close pursuit and the remainder of the field well bunched some distance back. Rounding the far turn Brilliant Jester was called on by Thompson and he soon wrested the lead from Muttikins. Irish Jig in the meantime had moved up fast on the outside and loomed up menacingly. Brilliant Jester, however, held on to his advantage though Thompson took no chances and rode him out at the end. Irish Jigs effort to overtake the leader told on him hear the end and Muttikins, coming again with great speed, snatched second place in the last stride or two. Radio, of which much was expected, ran poorly. Joseph McLennan returned from Chicago this morning and resumed his duties as clerk of the scales. A section of the railing in front of the stand gave way Saturday under the pressure of the crowd, but fortunately no one was injured.
