M Victory of Royal Julian Mark* End of Silverdale s Long Win- ning Streak — Loses by Neck. — i LATONIA, Ky., June 10.— Running the ono mile and seventy yards in 1:41%, just a second slower than the track record made by Mike Hall, W. H. Whitehouses rejuvenated Royal Julian scored his third consecutive victory and defeated E. B. McLeans Silverdale, the Audley Farms The Choctaw and two others in accounting for the Hotel Metropole Purse, the feature of todays program at Latonia. The defeat of Silverdale, the favorite, ended a string of victories which stretched through six races, but it came narrowly, as the capable three-year-old conceded weight to his older conqueror and raced him to a necks difference, after having set all the pace. They fought it out four lengths in advance of The Choctaw, which outfinished Ken Machree by inches, while Broadside, the second choice, pulled up at the finish in last place. Following Royal Julians somewhat unexpected score, came a victory for Mr. White-houses very promising two-year-old Take Off and the double victory he completed for the Whitehouse Stable also marked the sec- -ond for him during the meeting. Take Off took the lead in the Madison Purse, the secondary feature, and was horns a length in front of Sydney and Uncle Matt, which finished closely aligned. DOUBLE FOR DUBOIS. Jockey Dubois, who again rode the two Whitehouse winners, was extremely fortunate to save ground with Royal Julian while he kept him close up in :he early racing. A» lie followed in the wake ct the pacemaking Silverdale, he was closely attended by The Choctaw and Broadside for five-eighths then moed away from that pair and went on determinedly to take the lead which ho wrested from Silverdale in the last five years. Silverdale, which had ran the first quarter in :2ZYs. half mile in :46% and three-quarters in 1:11, held on tenaciously in tho long drive, only to tire slightly right at tho end. In scoring his popular victory Take Off raced the five-eighths in 59% and conceded a few pounds to each of his five rivals, all from the better grade o£ youngsters. Although he swerved a bit after reaching tho stretch, the winner resumed his task in game fashion after being straightened out and was hanging on impressively as he flashed past the finish a length in front of Sydney and Uncle Matt, which could only be separated by the placing judges. Todays racing opened the first full week of the meeting and there was further assurance in the large attendance that the season may prove one of the most successful ever conducted at the old racing center. Tho track was in its best shap-3, and the weather could not have been more suitable for tho sport MAIDEN RACE. The race for older maidens that opened the program furnished a mild surprise when J. W. Parrishs three-year-old Dr. Parrish proved an easy winner over the first timo starter Scott, and ten others of which Yuea-5 tan was third. The mentioned trio out-i sprinted its opponents by a big margin and the winner was always in front and got to the finish four lengths in advance of Scott, which had a like margin over Yucatan. An accident in which Jockey L. Pichon fell with Nellie Lyons in the first sixteenth marred the race and resulted in Pichon suffering a number of nasty bruises and cuts, principally on the face. He was treated at the track hospital. The colors of E. B. McLean were carried to an extremely lucky victory in the second race, a claiming affair for juvenile fillies, in which his Perfect Alibi, as a result of get-o ting through on the inside of Donora in tho final drive, beat the latter by a nose. Donora had been the leader from the start and but for being allowed to leave an opening along the rail probably would have scored a handy victory as Heretiz, which followed on the outside of her, also would have added to the winners task had she been forced to tho outside for racing room. The race was over five-eighths and Heretiz ruled at odds-on but went down to defeat without apparent excuse. Amsterdam, the starter of H. P. Headley, proved the first successful favorite when ho easily accounted for the third race, in which he was opposed by but three other of tho better grade plater three-year-olds. The distance was one mile and seventy yards and the end of it found Vandal defeating Mayor Walker by a nose for second place, almost three lengths back of the winner. Vandal alone was the one which gave backers of tho winner their only scare, but his challengo — =3= Continued on twentj-fourth page. - TWO FOR WHITEHOUSE Continued from first page. of the victor after they had raced a half mile fell far short and Amsterdam led by a good margin all through the stretch. C. E. Hamiltons Adelot. which only recently returned to competition after an extended period of inactivity, accomplished the overthrow of several more highly-regarded rivals and others in the fourth race, which witnessed his leading for the full one mile and a sixteenth. His victory came in a driving finish with Congo II., which he led home by a half length after a long-spirited stretch duel. Behind Congo II. came Chum, getting up for third place by inches over Southland Boy after closing an immense tju.ii with a belated burst of speed.
