INTERESTING RACING Mondays Latonia Program Provides Some Capital Sport. Jimmie Daws Unexpected Victory Consistent Sweetheart Goes Down to Defeat. IiATONIA, Ky., Oct. 29. Latonia provided Its numerous patrons a capital Monday program and some excellent racing was on tap, in spite of threatening cold weather, which had no material effect on the attendance. The mile purse brought out some good ones and it resulted in an unexpected victory for Jimmie Daw, which was benefitted by the riding of M. Garner. The latters presence in the saddle worked improvement in the colts running over that when Stearns had the mount He was kept in close pursuit of Jeanne Bowdre and when she showed signals of distress just before rounding into the stretch, it required but small effort on the part of Jimmie Daw to take command and win thereafter under restraint. Jeanne Bowdre held on fairly well and beat home Heremon for second place. Heremon carried his new owners colors in the race, W. Dondas having purchased him for the reported price of ,600. The fifth race witnessed the overthrow of the consistent Sweetheart, an outstanding favorite, which followed Best Love home. Sweethearts performance was somewhat disappointing, but it could be attributed to the listless ride that McDermott gave her. He kept her restrained during the early part, while Best Love was having her own way and approaching the stretch he rode her extremely wide and eased her in the last seventy yards, which endangered her for second place, as Pegasus, coming with a rush, landed only half a length in back of her. PARKE BACK OTS JOB. Jockey I. Parke, who has been absent from the saddle for several days, signalized his return this afternoon by piloting the winners in the first two races. He was astride Lady Pox, favorite in the opener, and he took that filly into the lead immediately after the start and won without great difficulty. Corinth, under hard urging, landed in second place before the slow beginning Businesslike. On Miss Meise, Parke scored in even easier fashion than he did in the opening dash. He kept that filly in close pursuit of Giuseppe and when the latter began tiring in the last quarter, Miss Meise took up the running and she got to the finish five lengths before Giuseppe. Romping Mary, after racing far out of it, came fast during the stretch run and took third place. Bill OFlynn, backed in confident style, proved easily best in the third race. He took command at once and it was only a brief gallop for him to lead for entire way. John Q. Kelly, under Parkes rousing ride, maintained a forward position from the start and landed in second place, with Ferguson getting up for third money. DOUBLE FOB J. SPENCER. The colors of J. Spencer made it a double for the afternoon when Oo La La, guided by M. Garner, who also had the mount on the Spencer-owned Jimmie Daw, brought her home in the closing dash after a sharp stretch duel with Parke on Golden Billows. It was only in the last seventy yards that Oo La La managed to draw clear. Pumps, coming with a good rush, got up in the last stride for third place. There was a good field making the contest here and the halter brigade became active, two claims being registered, Golden Billows being secured by W. H. Hall at a cost of ,400. W. McClain had a claim in for this filly, but he was outdrawn. There is a probability that Bialto may be a starter in the Latonia Championship according to report from the East. Enchantment, which was expected to be among the starters, is definitely out of it W. E. Applegate has arranged to send twenty-six of his horses to Tijuana to be raced there during the winter.
