. J . [ . ; [ a I : 1 r 2 s f 1 j MUDDY TRACK AT BEULAH COLUMBUS, Ohio, May 11.— A steady rain last night rendered the track decidedly muddy, but overcast skies this afternoon failed to injure the attendance on the final Ladies Day of the meeting. The confirmed mud runners had an inning, but owing to the changed track condition the fields were reduced considerably through scratching. Silver Song, racing in her best form, pro-vided a surprise when she captured the Schaefer Handicap, fifth and feature attraction at Beulah Park this afternoon. Nayarit led to the stretch, with the Siller mare in closest pursuit after going the first quarter. When the final test came the Carrigan representative had the most in reserve and won by half a length under mi!d urging. Post Mistress, prominent throughout, was a dis- tant but easy third. Sergeant Seth stumbled twice while rounding the first turn, losing so much ground that J. Pevic wisely made little effort to overhaul his field. Miss Mag- gie wheeled as the start came, unseating jockey W. Kempf, who was uninjured. Emile F. graduated from the ranks of non-, winners in the initial dash, in which he led throughout- by a comfortable margin, his victory coming somewhat as a surprise. Elbee outgamed Golden Art for second place. The race was robbed of much of its interest when Houghtons Alibi, the favorite, stumbled and fell at the first turn. Busy Miss fell over him. Jockey T. Malley and C. Cotton, who had the mounts, were unhurt. Taking the lead after going the first eighth of the second number, Young April, at home in the going, was never threatened thereafter, Out of Sight closed a wide gap and beat Little Avon handily through the stretch for the place honors. . ■
