j FABIAN MAKES GOOD Scores His First Success at Fair-mount Park Meeting. « Romps Away With Chief Attraction of Wednesdays Program — Claiming Race Card. COLLTNSVILLK. III.. June B.— J. C. Me-Gills Fabian earned his first victory over the Fairmount Park track when he accounted for the "Forty and Kight" Iurse, a high priced claiming race at a mile and seventy yards, serving as the best offering on the program. Fabians success was popular, being a pronounced favorite and ridden by R. Jones, who has an extensive following here. Only six started in the race, and Stamp-dale went out as if to make a runaway of it, for he opened a gap of ten lengths on the others before half a mile had been concluded. Eight Sixty and Fabian followed him closest, and both steadily wore the leader down, heading him just as the stretch turn was reached. .Luring the last eiRhth, it was an easy matter for Fabian to come away, but Kight Sixty had to be ridden hard to outstay Jubal Early. Stampdale tired badly in the final eighth. Members of the "Forty and Kight" organization gave the winn?r an ornate cup. Heavy cloud , presaging a downpour, did not reduce the attendance, which was again of generous proportions. All the races were again of the claiming vaiiety. but brought out in eacli race well matched starters, resulting in some interesting contests. EASY FOR JF.O. BROOM. Geo. Groom took the sixth in easy fashion. Restrained until he pot to the turn for home, he won going away. New Hampshire, away fast, finished well under urging. Music Shop also finished fast to be third. Bride o the Wind, a well backed one, was far back and ridden poorly. Sandalwood carried the .!.• B. Cloher c dors successfully in the inaugural, which brought ten of the more ordinary horses to the post. Tailteann finished in second place, and Post Mistress managed to outstay the fast tiring Nimrod. The latter displayed a fine orcLr of speed for the first half mile, but thereafter he began quitting almost to a walk. Sandalwood, which had been one of the rearguard for the first quarter, came steadily and fast thereafter and, going around the leaders at the stretch, drew out in the last eighth. Kum Kalessi furnished the upset of the second race, when this diminutive filly lad the others to the finish, after having shown the most speed from the start. She had a margin of half a length on Frank Andrews at the finish. The latter was going fast near the end, but was not quite as strong as Captain Applejack, which finished in third place. Had Froggatte shown more energy in riding his mount, he probably would have won handily, for he raced as if much the best, though ridden listlessly. Shasta Lawn contributed by her bad post actions to a long delay before the start was effected. RTREF.T I.I Z VICTKF.SS. Street Liz, which races for K. K. Major, was returned victress of the third race at a mile and a sixteenth. She carried a light impost and was well ridden, enabling her to lead for the entire distance. Near the end, she was forced hard to outstay the fast finishing Marsdale, which was up to outstay Talequa for second place. Cham-pignol was another strong contender during the last sixteenth. Foolscap was away too poorly to be a factor in the running, and he raced far out of it for the entire distance. The Pueblo Stables False Face was victor of the fourth race at three-quarters, but his success was of the lucky variety, and his rider, Tyler, was flagrantly guilty of rough riding, when he forced Odd Seth back sharply in the first sixteenth by coming over on him. The incident enahled False Face to move into a good lead, while the inexperienced Kd wards on Odd Seth was making every effort to have his mount recover from the interference. Odd Seth came fast in the last quarter anil was steadily wearing clown False Face near the end. Had he. had a strong rider up. he probably would have won. Lester Hoe-tor was much the best of the others in the race.
