ANOTHER FOR MR. GAIETY ♦ — Glassco Star Adds Lord Willing-don Cup to Triumphs. ♦ Governor-General of Canada Witnesses Decision of Race Named in His Honor — Attack Second. » OTTAWA, Ont., June 8.— The second running of the Lord Willingdon Cup was the magnet that drew a large and enthusiastic crowd to Connaught Park for the fourth, day of the spring meeting at the local course and before the distinguished patronage of Lord Willingdon, governor-general of Canada. Mrs. E. Glasscos good Canadian-bred campaigner, Mr. Gaiety, again triumphed over the best racing material quartered at the Aylmer course when he won decisively from Attack, from the Riverdale Stable, which finished second, beaten by four lengths for the main share of the purse. Third was the portion of Companini, from the H. C. Hatch stable. From a perfect start in the feature, Circu-let, winner of the Stanley Produce Stakes, raced away into the lead, while close at hand came Mud and Mart Malone. while the others, after making the turn, were well strung out back of the trio and there was little shifting of places until midway of the back stretch, when Mr. Gaiety and Attack both moved up and at the far turn there was a deadlock among the first division. However, Mr. Gaiety was racing well and. approaching the home stretch, was in command and T. Wilson made him hustle right along until he was safely entrenched in front and coming away until he won by four lengths. Wm. Zeigler, Jr., supplied the winner of the first race, called the South Hull Purse, when trainer Frank J. Kearns saddled Rayo in the silks of the New York sportsman. In a driving finish, the Zeigler starter, after racing High Dell and Canaille into defeat in the first half mile, drew away into a safe lead at the final eighth post, but had to be roused in the final stages when High Dell and Goddess loomed up dangerously. His margin at the end was a length and a half. A tight fit resulted for second place when High Dell and Goddess waged a bitter duel, with the award going to the former. KTTLING IN FRONT. Kitling proved mistress of the home-breds that started in the fourth race on the card when, under H. Gibsons riding, she came from well back to take command at the final eighth post and reached the end of the route leading the favorite, Galopin Diamond, by a half length. Three lengths further back came Rose Flame, and Salvathorn followed to take the measure of three others that started. The winner raced for the Seagram Stable and the victory marked the second of the meeting for his popular establishment. Another winner was saddled by Frank Kearns and this time the victory came in his own colors when his good sprinter Mun-ning scored over a good band that faced the barrier for the five and a half furlongs race that was second on the program. Second part of the purse went to Reddy Fox. racing for the Highland Stable, and into third place came Ella Rufus. Munning, after following at the heels of the leaders for the first half mile, went to the outside entering the stretch and, displacing Reddy Fox, came away to score by a length and a half. Ella Rufus was beaten a half length for second place. Kurtsinger, who rode Rayo, made it a double when he scored with Munning. The first surprise of the afternoon came with the running of the third race, staged over the five and a half furlongs route, when Donna Mona, racing for T. B. McKay, showed a superior brand of speed, with the result that she was good enough to lead for the entire distance to be the winner in a drive with Sabana, another long priced starter, while third went to Hat Brush. Mad Sketch was a well backed choice, but at no stage of the race was he able to offer serious contention and at the finish was in seventh place. Kinkajou was a successful favorite in the sixth race when, after setting the pace for practically the entire distance, he reached the end of the journey to score by a length from Porto Bello Gold, with Fire Chief racing into third place. W. H. Wright, who races a large band of racers on the C. R. A. tracks, was an arrival from Toronto to confer with his trainer, H. M. Stevens.
