Fantoche on which Owens made no mistake this afternoon and rode in vig ¬ orous style Unlike in his former races Fan ¬ toche was kept close up during the early rac ¬ ing and when called on responded in his usual honest style and steadily overhauled Wynnewood in the last eighth There were six starters in the race with Wynnewood backed confidently at a prohibitive price He raced into a good lead at the outset but could not shake off Fantoche and Cap Rock Eacli made a menacing challenge in the last quarter He held Cap Rock safe enough but could not cope with Fantoche FantocheAnother Another big delegation of firsttime vis ¬ itors was at the course this afternoon to enjoy the racing This was again under the most favorable weather conditions conditionsFavorite Favorite backers were again badly

Adventure and should have won but had his mount all over the track and she suc ¬ cumbed by a narrow margin Black Hackle at long odds landed in third place The start was ragged and some of the probable contenders were completely eliminated then and there thereOne One of the closest finishes of the meeting developed with the running of the fourth race in which Elmer K and Royal Charlie were the central figures Elmer K won but only by a nose and the decision would have been reversed in another stride for Royal Charlie was fast overhauling the tir ¬ ing Elmer K Mavourneen landed in third place Copyright one of the starters did a circus stunt immediately following the start when Bell had to pull him up to keep from being bucked off The improvement shown by Elmer K caused the stewards to
