June 13.— The Intended feature offering at Fairmount Park this afternoon, the Glen Carbon Purse, resulted into a a mediocre contest and proved an easy spot for the Mullrick Stables five-jrear-old mare Herade to achieve victory, and •he earned her first purse of the meeting after many appearances. At the end of the one mile lace, Herade was a safe winn-.r over some good horses, taking the measure of the Paradise Stock Farms Yam Toy, which finished second, while third place went to F. Dunns Corboau. The winner was ridden by jockey V. Smith and. being well regarded In this, had considerable backing. Howev-r, the real favorite was Yam Toy and he attracted the most support. Herade was hustled away from the barrier Into the lead after the start and, holding ■way under restraint, withstood the repeated challenges of Corbeau and Our Pal to the stretch, and then when Yam Toy loomed up dangerously on the outside in the fin.il eighth, held the latter safe, continuing in the lead to the finish, winning by a margin of one length. Weather conditions for the sport here this afternoon were of the best, and there was an exceedingly good crowd on hand to witness the racing, which proved thrilling enough in most instances. The track was heavy after the drenching it received here on Wednesday. The difficult going was responsible for many surprising upsets, and the favorites were defeated regularly. MOTHERS CHOICE GRADUATES. E. F. Pritchards Mothers Choice, two-jrear-old daughter of Paul Weidel, took kindly to the difficult going in the first race and graduated into the winning ranks with her well-deserved victory over a large band of maiden juveniles. Goose Step ran better over the heavy track, showed good form, and took second place. Emeryville was a forward contender at all stages and landed third. There were eleven starters and the field horses, S. J. Gillfillan and Patti Louise, were the favorites. Both of them were far back of the leaders and failed to prove formidable. Mothers Choice, given a hustling ride by Finnerty, raced into the lead quickly after the start and, continuing the best, made •very post a winning one. Sundhoimer and Pershall furnished the winner of the second race, a three-quarters mile race, and it was Essie that landed in advance of nine other starters under a good ride by jockey M. Knight. Thunder Call, which appeared an easy winner at the entrance to the stretch when far in front, was unable to cope with Essie at the finish, but saved second place. Chris Paschen landed third. Anna Boall, the favorite, which was away poorly with Oncora, Chris Paschen and Rio Panchita, in a bad start, showed much speed in the first five-eighths, to work her way up to second place in the stretch, but her efforts to gain the lost ground at the start told on her in the later stages, and she tired. Thunder Call had the best of the start, moved to the front and raced into a long lead, but in the stretch he tired badly, succumbing to the challenge of Essie in the final fifty yards. Essie was outpaced to the final three-sixteenths but came with a tremendous rush on the outside, wore down the leaders and got up to win going away. MILES PRIOR SET BACG. The first disqualification of the meeting occurred in the third race, in which E. E. Majors Miles Prior led home Mrs. R. Pollards Sandy Lady, but was promptly set back by the stewards for fouling the Pollard racer. Miles Priors number was then removed from the board and that of Sandy Lady was inserted in the first slot as the winner. Frightful, which was third at the finish, was mov-.d up into second place, while Revolver way credited with third. This race was over one mile and a quarter and had but six starters. Entering the stretch it had narrowed down to a struggle between Sandy Lady and Miles Prior. They fought it out. head and head, in strenuous fashion until inside the final eighth, where Miles Prior began bearing out and carried Sandy Lady out with him, the close proximity of the pair offering Pen-dergrass. astride Sandy Lady, no other alternative but to be forced out with his mount. J. Cavens was astride Majors racer. Miles Prior, and Cavens offense of carrying out Sandy Lady was so flagrant and deliberate that there was immediate action on the part of the stewards at the end of the race and Miles Trior was disqualified. Revolver was the favorite for this race. Jockey J. Cavens was suspended by the stewards for thirty days after his exhibition of rough riding astride Miles Prior. The Manchester Purse brought a small field of three-year-olds to the post for a race over five and a half furlongs and in this there was an outstanding upset in the victory of J. W. Marchbanks Ella Bank, and the defeat of the prohibitive favorite. Judge Murphy. Ella Bank, ridden by Pendergrass, took the lead at the start, raced far in advance of her rivals and, holding sway throughout, won eased up. Film, part of thr-Paradiso Stock Farms entry, worked his way up gradually in the final quarter mile, overhauling the tiring other starters and got up to out finish Photograph for second place. Photograph, which made a threatening move entering the stretch, gained prominence there, but tired again in the final sixteenth. Judge Murphy litir.in fast, but soon was outpaced and dropped back, failing to show his customary high speed and the favorite was outrun all the way, racing poorly and winding up fourth. — — a
