Hal Price Headleys colors were much in the limelight during the afternoon, representatives from his stable making it a double by annexing the two outstanding feature races on the card. CHACOLET AGAIN WINS. His Chacolet, winner of the ?50,000 Kentucky Special last Saturday, demonstrated that her success on that occasion was no fluke and that she is a much underrated mare by taking up nine pounds from her Saturday impost and making a show of the handicap horses that opposed her. The shorter distance today was regarded as against her, but she passed into the lead when called on after being far back in the early part and drew out in the stretch to win as her rider pleased from the lightly weighted Guest of Honor, with Audacious following. The latter showed fine speed for three-quarters, but thereafter began tiring and Connelly was unable to keep him together and had to desist from riding him hard in the last sixteenth, which enabled Guest of Honor to beat him for second place. Dr. Clark ad Cherry Tree, Mose Goldblatts entry, were expected to cut a wide swath in the result, but Dr. Clark retired after going three-quarters and Cherry Tree was at all times badly outrun. Perfect racing weather prevailed here today and, coupled with the excellent racing card, it served to bring out one of the best midweek attendances of the present meeting. Betting activities also was on the increase and, as favorites and second choices were returned winners in most of the dashes, it proved a profitable outing for the major portion of the crowd. ANOTHER FOR E. R. BRADLEY. E. R. Bradley annexed another juvenile dash when his Baffling led home seven others that started in the sixth race. Baffling was coupled with Boy O Boy and the pair were outstanding favorites. There was no anxiety on the part of their backers when Baffling took command soon after the start and led Prank Gailor for the entire way. J. C. Milam had designs on two of the afternoons two-year-old purses, but the best he coulu do was to land in second place with both his representatives, Frank Gailor and Gibbons. The last named was supposedly a good thing, but he was beaten by Sizzle, an extreme outsider, which was grouped with others in the field. Centimeter, carrying the Goldblatt colors, scored his first victory for that owner. He wpn impressively from Honor Man after having lsd for the entire way. v About as bad. a lot as ever raced for a ,400 purse made the contest in the third race, and it resulted in an easy victory fcr Tulalip, which despite her swerving all over the stretch had much in reserve over Pete Foy, a fielder, which came from last place in the final quarter to take second place from Erlanger.
