IN MEMORIAM FIRST Outstays Bo McMillan in Main Race at Latonia. Veteran Abadane Still Able to Eun Fast Another Victory for E. R. Bradley. LiATONIA. Ky., November 1. The only race on the card this afternoon that had any resemblance to a feature was the three-quarters dash in which two-year-olds met, and furnished an interesting struggle with the winner turning up in Carl Weidemanns In Memoriam, which just, outstayed the fast finishing rush of Bo McMillan, with another Weidemann color bearer, Great Jaz, in third place. The Florisant stables crack Lathrop was the favored one in the race, but the Weidemann pair were not lacking supporters. Lathrop began slowly, and as a result was far out of it in the early stages. However, he moved up fast after the first quarter, but when going at his best had to be taken up to avoid interference, and it practically spoiled his chance for part of the purse. Great Jaz went out in the lead, attended closely by Prince K., with In Memoriam right in their wake and under restraint. He also benefited by saving much ground. Great Jaz shook off Prince IC. at the stretch turn and at this stage In Memoriam joined his stablemate, and the pair were a good margin in advance of the others until Bo McMillan came along with his .sensational rush, which nearly carried him past the ultimate winner. There was a continuation of the fine weather that has prevailed here, again resulting in a record attendance being on hand to view the sport. The racing was wholesome and the finishes of the driving kind and close. BETTING VOLUME LARGE. The betting volume was on a par with the best week day action and short priced horses accounted for a majority of the dashes, with the result that the greater part of the big crowd combined profit with their outing. The veteran Abadane demonstrated that there is still a good bit of racing left in him, for he took into camp a good band of sprinters that made the contest in the fifth race and won in commanding style in fast time, Dr. Hickman being a lucky second and Sir Thomas Kean barely missing getting up to beat Ablaze for third place. Sir Thomas Kean would have been a more rormidabie factor had he not engaged in a bumping match with Rapid Day and was ridden wide in the stretch. Avispa, a starter here, was again the medium for a claim, making the third time that she- has changed ownership in her last three starts. On this occasion Mrs. 11. McGarvey secured her for ,000. E. R. Bradley took down another purse, this time with Brunei!, an improving youngster that was late coming to hand, but regarded as a good colt. It was his maiden success and he performed impressively, standing a hard drive in the last quarter and downing the recently acquired Spinball, which in turn beat Waywassamo. The latter did not show any bearing in tendencies today, such as caused his disqualification from second place in his last start. ARARAT IX CLOSE FINISH. Mose Goldblatts Ararat was favorite in the opener and after leading throughout outstayed Marine Corps in a warm finish. The second race furnished an upset when Miss Meise, totally neglected, won after a hard drive with Lily M., another outsider, "Victoire landing in third place. The latter was best, but would not extend herself only at intervals. George M. Hendries Claymore, which should have been returned a winner in his previous start, but lost due to the bad ride, was given good handling this afternoon, and it proved an easy matter for him to lead the others home in the third race. Loveliness just managed to get up to beat Twinkle Blue. Claymore found a new owner after the race, J. Spencer securing him at a cost of ,900. Brotherly Love accounted for the closing dash from Sea Prince, with Pumps in third place. Brotherly Love and Sea Prince were both distant followers in the early stages, but came around the others in the last quarter to light it out hard near the end. Matinee Idol was expected to cut a big figure In the race, but the conclusion of a mile found him giving way steadily. Frank J. Kelleys horses terminated their racing here and were shipped today to Louisville, where they will remain for a short period before being sent to San Francisco and raced at Tanforan.
