LATONIA, Ky., Sept 30, After many failures Pindar Peel finally succeeded in landing a purse, and in achieving his success thi3 afternoon he displayed some of his old-time form that made him formidable for the best in these parts. Credit is also due to jockey Garner for tho victory, for he outrode and outgeneraled E. Kummer on Certain at every stage of the race. It is more than probable that with jockeys reversed Certain would have been the victor. The meeting of the pair and four other well-known mud racers of sprinting ability, occurred in the fetaure contest, over tha three-quarters distance, and it was a closely grouped field that fought it out throughout with Pindar Peel ultimately triumphing. Blotter was the early leader, attended closely by Certain and Pindar Peel, with The Runt not far off, but repeatedly beinff taken back by his timid rider. Certain, too, was given a blundering ride, for ho was being taken all over the track, the rider seemingly at a loss what to do. He finally elected to rush his mount into the lead, but Pindar Peel stayed with him and, during tho last sixteenth, through Rummers weakness. Certain was forced down into the deeper going, and it forced him to tire perceptibly. Hopeless was coming with a rush, but just missed getting up for second place. Blotter quit badly and The Runt never had much opportunity to display his high order of speed, because of the restraining tactics of his rider. BAD TRACK COrDMTOS. Track conditions were tho worst of the meeting and the accompanying cold contributed towards a decreased attendance, but considering the adverse circumstances under which the sport was held a surprisingly large crowd was on hand to view the sport Some of the racing was highly interesting with several close finishes featuring. .

He won well under restraint from the outsider Cherebu with Hobson in third place. The higher grade platers that met In the fourth provided a splendid contest with King Tut, carrying the colors of Mose Goldblatt, winning by a head from Midwestern, with. Llewellyn in third place, a similar distanco farther away. Harvey, who rode the winner, was directly responsible for the victory for he roughed the contending pair at every opportunity. Llewellyn being the principal sufferer. Bo McMillan was again made favorite but he was done after reaching the stretch. LONGEST FIIICE OF MKETEXG.

Becky Thatcher was the favorite here with Twilight Hour also coming in for extensive backing but both were far back at the finish having tired badly during the last furlong of the racing. The closest finish of the afternoon came in the third race when Finday and Uncle Hugh came to the finish so close that there was doubt as to the winner. The judges gave the award to Finday.
