MISS GAIETY U. WINS AGAIN « Bay Daughter of For Fair Scores at Montreal ♦ Ella Rufns Easily Outruns Pygmalion, ia Third Race — Impertinent Best ia Opening Rare. » - ■ MONTREAL. Que.. June 20.— Miss Gaiety II. came back after her winning effort the other day with another good performance when she galloped home an easy winner in the fourth race, leading the favorite Plaguer by four lengths as they passed the judg-a. Far back in the early stages. Miss Gaiety II. responded with, a burst of speed when T. Wilson called on her entering the stretch, where she came through next to the inside rail with a rush to take the lead and in *.he final eighth was drawing away. Plaguer got up in the final strides to get second place by a nose from Galopin Diamond. The latter was the one to set the pace. He carried Master Bobbie off his feet in the run down the back stretch and then took Brevet along at a rapid pace to the head of the stretch, where he began to tire. Plaguer made and bold challenge turning for home, where he moved up on the outside, but when Curran went to a drive he swerved to the inside rail to be blocked. This ruined whatever chance he may have had. SURPRISES IN ORDER. The program provided this afternoon was framed to suit ordinary material and. naturally, surprises were in order. Impertinent, winner of the opering race, was the publics choice and then came a series of defeats for them. The best field that went to the post during the afternoon started in the fifth rac?. a dash of one mile, and C. F. Mitchell, a local sportsman, furnished the winner when Glee Club, a three-year-old by Sporting Blood, which he acquired from Bud Fisher a short time back, scored. Glee Club was ridden by E. Fator. came from behind and, finishing fast, easily disposed of Walter J. Salmons Dunkirk to win going away by a length and a half. The latter set the pace for seven-eighths before he quit. Blade, the runner-up most of the distance, was third. In a driving finish he managed to last long enough to beat Sun Dixie by a head for third place. In a race for maiden jockeys, J. Snyder broke into the limelight when he landed the aged Ed Pendleton home in front. The last four races were over a distance of ground, two over one mile and two over one mile and an eighth. The stewards reported that the racer Amen-Ra lost one of his front shoes in his race yesterday and came out of that contest with several cuts on his leg. Nothing further developed during the afternoon regarding the refusal of the entries of Mrs. Amanda Vaughan. The stewards have wired secretary Daingerfield for some information regarding the case and are awaiting word from him. They hope to clear the matter up tomorrow. IMPERTINENT IN FRONT. An ordinary band of two-year-olds made up to the field that went to the post for the first race. It was a claiming affair, over five-eighths. There were a well-matched band, and a good contest resulted. The winner turned up in Mrs. J. Zoellers Impertinent, which won in clever fashion by beating E. A. Raymonds Dark Range by a length and a half. The latter was a head in front of Heavenly Music. In the early stages the Seagram Stables filly Merry Girl outran the others and showed the way into the stretch, but when the final drive came she tired. Arbutus ran the best race of all. Beginning very slowly and last to leave the post the filly worked her way up on the outside, but in the stretch swerved repeatedly and Kurts-inger was unable to do her justice. She finished fourth. Old Ed Pendleton, the aged son of Light Brigade, carried J. Snyder home in front in the running of the second race, the conditions of which called for starters to be ridden by maiden jockeys. Beginning last, but gradually improving his position, Ed Pendleton finished gamely in the run through, the stretch, to get up in the last fifty yards to win by a length. Cut Bush, ridden by G. Quackenbush, was second, a neck in front of Afton. Goeland and Munning were the ones to set the pace, the former leading until near the half mile post, where Munning went to the front to draw away into a long lead. In the stretch Munning tired. Cut Bush, which finished second, was on the extreme outside at the end. Snyder did not have much control over his mount at the end, and Ed Pendletejn was inclined to swerve. The dicky-legged Pygmalion, from the E. F. Sanford stable, furnished a big disappointment when he was beaten out in easy fashion by Ella Rufus in the third race, a dash of seven-eighths, for which he went to the post an odds-on favorite. Pygmalion was never a dangerous factor at any stage, being outrun from the start, and at the end came with a belated rush. The winner, racing close to the leaders the first three-eighths, moved into the lead on the far turn and in the stretch assumed an easy lead, to win by three lengths. Omnia managed to stagger in third, two lengths back of Pygmalion and a length in advance of Fornovo.
