KIN FOLKS MAKES AMENDS Turns Tables on Fallen Leaf in Feature Race at Hamilton, Ohio — Little Hallie in Front. HAMILTON, Ohio, May 17.— R. Shepps Kin Folks turned the tables on Fallen Leaf, when she led throughout by a comfortable margin in the third race, which attracted some good sprinters at the Fair Grounds this afternoon. Fallen Leaf was forced extremely wide on the turns, but finished resolutely in the stretch and, despite the interference, was a creditable second, heading Zoya in the final strides. Rain again threatened about race time and failed to materialize, but it served to injure the attendance somewhat. The racing was staged over a fast track and form was well observed, favorites and second choices accounting for a majority of the seven races. Elbee made a runaway affair of the initial race, after being installed a popular choice. It marked the maiden victory for the daughter of Jack Hare Jr. Miss Beaverkill retained a safe margin over Esther C. tkroughout. Luck in securing a clear passage next to the inner rail when the leaders ran wide at the first turn was a contributing factor in the success of Little Hallie in the second race. Once in command she was never in trouble thereafter. Bright Plume gained second place from Shelton. which closed much ground in the last quarter. Following the leaders closely to the stretch turn, Rosemary Ryan came fast on the outside in the final sixteenth to snatch victory from Beg Pardon in the last few strides. Beg Pardon was the pacemaker, but he tired just near the end. Frances Louise was a fast-finishing third. Taking command at once, Grierson made every post a winning one in the fifth race, although he was closely pressed by Midday in the early stages. Padlock disposed of White Nose with little effort in the final drive for the short end of the purse. Opening up an early lead, Don T. galloped along in front for the entire distance in the sixth race, during which he enjoyed a comfortable lead. Old Tom was best of the others and Illinois King dropped into third place, unopposed after Mason Towle tired. Lord Darnley, the favorite, was shuffled back early and suffered much interference. Coming from behind with a rush in the last quarter, Maddenstown eventually scored a handy victory in the final race. Dr. Mac Millan, a keen factor throughout, was second after leading briefly at the turn for home. Arden headed Southern Pacific for third place in the final strides after suffering serious interference as he was making his move while on the far turn. Due to bad post behavior the entries of Leonard G. and Lafe -I. will be refused here in the future. For rough riding today, jockey G. Seabo was set down for five days by the stewards. • 1 .
