The colors of Harry Payne Whitney were triumphant in the feature race of todays Latonia program, when Hush Dear defeated Hedemora, Turn On and four other two-year-old fillies in the Zoo Eden Purse, at three-quarters. Hush Dear was well suited by the prevailing heavy going and, after following Hedemoras pace to the stretch, slipped through on the inside of the Hickman filly after making the final turn and easily wore her down. After getting into the lead in the last eighth, she drew away from her with fine speed to win by three lengths. Hedemora tired in the stretch, but she managed to beat Turn On by a length for second place. The latter was always close up and held on resolutely to the end, wjhere Easter Stockings, the favorite, did not press her closely for. third. W. Garner had the mount on the winner and, in getting over the five-eighths in 1:03, she displayed the most speed witnessed during the afternoon.

Apprentice Tommy Root, whose contract was purchased by Mosa Goldblatt from B. F. McLean, Jr., several days ago, had his first Kentucky mount on Capistrano, winner of the opening dash, in which but five opposed the E. B. Elkins sprinter. Root had the winner in front of his company almost from the start and, rating him -nicely the entire way, had him to the finish with something in reserve. Pandy raced in second place the entire three-quarters, but at no stage appeared anything like a serious menace for the winner. Two lengths separated them at the finish, while Nine Sixty took third, six lengtns further back. A thrilling finish in which Kitty Yansen beat Myth by a nose featured the second race, which brought under colors ten two-year-olds at five and one-half furlongs. R. Russell had the mount on the winner, which finished in extremely game style to outstay Myth in the long hard drive. The latter took a short lead over the winner in the stretch, but was not quite good enough. Peralta, which enjoyed a small lead from the start to the stretch, tired, but was an easy third.

WHITNEYS SILKS Continued from first pace Fretwell and Bobs Best in the third race.

Bobs Best came from last place with a belated rush to be third, while Susan Rebecca, the choice, tired badly in the stretch and was fourth. Bruneth showed a decided fancy for the rough footing and proved best in a field of seven in the fourth race. After disposing of Glenning leaving the back stretch, she held command thereafter, and finished with three lengths advantage oyer Caroline Carter. The latter got up in the last few strides to take second place, from Tirza, which swerved in badly in the stretch after Mack Garner had taken her very wide in the -firmest footing.

Can-field and ran away a mile at a slow pace. Upon being dispatched for the race she took almost immediate command , and, by leading the field until inside the stretch, turn, gave the impression that except for her runaway she might have won. The finish found her in sixth place. Both Ranch Lass and Cirvenna, which finished fourth and fifth, might have played a part in the final result, but for meeting repeated interference during the running. Both finished fast when clear. .
