Shaf-feras False Face made a show of his opponents in the Fair Sex Claiming Handicap, fifth and feature race of the Ladies Day program at F.eulah Park this afternoon. He opened up such a long early lead the others were never able to get within hailing dis- tance of him. Miss Maggie ran an even race and, after disposing of Post Mistress for second, had enough in reserve to withstand Findays final challenge. A frigid wind swept over the course but, despite the autumn-like weather, a surpris- ingly large crowd was in attendance, the fair sex turning out in large numbers. The track showed improvement, although still slow, and was in the best shape since the meeting opened. Surprises came with the running of many of the races, one of which was the victory of Frankman in the fourth, when he ran past Idle Thoughts to an easy victory in the stretch. Bob Spalding just lasted to save third from the fast-finishing Xine Sixty. Billy Welch scored in similar fashion from Ima Fox in the initial race and also re-t turned a liberal dividend. Barberry, which finished third, showed early speed, but tired as if a trifle short. Bonnie Lizzie and Is Zat So had the race between them throughout the running of the second race, and Bonnie Lizzie had the most in reserve for the final drive. Corenne came from far back to beat the others home. It was only in the final strides that Miss Hogan snatched victory from Bright Plume in the third race after having closed a big gap from a slow beginning. Miss Emma, a keen early factor, outstayed the tiring Pen-f nyrile for the short end of the purse. After showing the way throughout, Reap had enough in reserve to withstand Cross-? words bid during the stretch test in the sixth race, but he was doing his best at the end. Wildcat, in a drive, outgamed Chit- tagong for third. For rough riding in third race jockey F. Kiniry was set down for five days by the stewards. Benito and Lucasins Jennys Dream died here this morning from abcess trouble. Golden Vote, a two-year-old, owned by Clayton Morris, died from pneumonia.
