PROCYON BEATS CHLORIS Scores Impressive Victory in the William Mulock Handicap. Collinga Triumphs Over Rocky Mountain in the Markham Plate After a Spirited Stretch Duel. TORONTO, Ont., September 21. The William Mulock Handicap, with ,500 added, and a challenge cup presented by Chief Justice W. M. Mulock of the high court of Ontario, was featured by the Ontario Jockey Club this afternoon. It furnished a good contest, the winner turning up in P. G. Christophers Procyon, which beat the favorite, Chloris, by a length. Chloris, which was making her first appearance in the colors of Commander J. K. L. Ross in this race, showed a good performance and forced the winner to run in record time for the stake to beat her. In the early running Chloris took the lead and carried Dellahm along at a fast pace. Fator in the meantime was reserving Procyon in behind the leaders and when Chloris tired at the top of the stretch he sent his mount to the front with a rush and at the end was going away. The fact that Procyon was bred at Commander Ross farm at Vercheres, Que., took away some of the sting of defeat when Chloris was beaten. Collinga, which ran coupled with Spanish j Maize as the J. K. L. Ross entry in the j Markham Plate, showed a good performance I when she beat Rocky Mountain by a head. The latter made all of the pace and the winner came from behind and passed him in the closing strides. CLAVERS BRILLIANT RIDE. The finish of the Markham Plate was a thriller and brought the crowd to its feet j with a roar of approval. Rocky Mountain j led practically throughout and when Col- J linga challenged in the last eighth gamely j resisted and contested every inch of the ground. It was not until the last few strides that Collinga managed to get her head in front, but so close was the finish the result was in doubt until the official placing was announced. Clavers ride on Collinga was a brilliant bit of horsemanship and he was accorded a great ovation. Mrs. F. A. Ambrose Clark scored her first victory this fall in Canada when her promising jumper Wrack Grass won the Roys-tcrer Steeplechase. Wrack Grass was ridden by W. Green, took the lead at the last turn of the field and won with much in reserve, with Byng finishing second and Deputy Vest third. i J. S. Ownbey, who is racing at the Woodbine for the first time in eight years, sent the winner of the opening dash to the post in Rockery. Lang had the mount and, after starting none too well, the Granite filly j hugged the inner rail and in the stretch run shook off her opponents and beat First Ward by a couple of lengths. Hidden Jewel made all the pace in the second race and won going away by a couple of lengths from Ablaze. Wake Up just lasted long enough to beat Cahalan by a nose for third money.
