Clarence Reed shipped Becky Sue and Ze-fine, which were purchased at private sale from J. Philips, to the Riverside Tark track at Kansas City, Mo. The ,000 added Illinois Stakes, for two-year-old fillies, will feature next Saturdays racing at Fairmount Park. This is another of the early closing stakes of the spring meeting, for which eighty-four two-year-olds of the feminine sex were nominated.
