Lamoureux to victory in the Columbus Zoo Purse, the feature offering at Beulah Park this afternoon, when she defeated Travelair by a head after a hard stretch drive in the fifth. Travelair held on courageously during the final drive after having set the pace. Don Caesar was a close third. It was a stirring finish, and aroused much interest. Following the running the Columbus Zoo trophy, a silver horse, was presented to owner A. Lamoureux by judge Ireland. The races were decided over a heavy but drying out track.
