ROLLIN IN AGAIN TRIUMPHS Proves Best in Sprint for Cambrai Purse at Devonshire Park. Prince -Wcsteiid Conquers Large Field of Two-Year-Olds Serfman Graduates in Race for Canadian-Breds. WINDSOR, Ont., Sept. 2 The Tedlu Stables Prince Pal colt, Kollin In, came right , back today with an even better performance than when he won the Seminola Purse last week, this time defeating a representative lot of sprinters and running the three-quarters of a mile of the Cambrai Purse in 1:12. -His victory -was scored easily, as he had gone into a good lead near the far turn, and Paddock, the second horse, although finishing well, was unable to get close enough to be a serious threat. Miss Baggage displayed good early speed and courage in the final drive, sticking close to Paddock and leading Quorum by ?a nose. The struggle for the place was a thrilling one. Flying Don was in this field, but he weakened badly and finished in last place. The Pasadena Stable took down their first purse of the meeting when Frances D. proved best of the dozen sprinting platers that matched strides in the six furlongs of the opening test. The place position fell to Mrs. A. Hillers Blighter, and Soil Gills, the favorite, was third. Little Gyp showed the most early speed and raced along in front for the opening quarter mile. Frances D. was not far away and Soli Gills had started to show improved speed after racing three-sixteenths. Frances D. opened up daylight on her field rounding the turn and the public choice had moved into second place. Through the stretch Frances D. was never seriously threatened, while Soli Gills, faltering from his effort in trying, to reach the leader, succumbed to the closing rush of Blighter. The others were well back and never in the hunt after the first half mile of the journey had been completed. Canadian-bred platers, brought together under conditions that called for non-winners of two races since June 25, contested the second. Serfman, from the Thorncliffe Stable, made this six furlongs dash the medium of his graduation, winning by better than two lengths over the favored Sphere of Beauty that performs in the interest of W. G. Campbell. The show position was the lot of the grey filly, Royal Guest Royal Guest and Royal Beacon had, the most early speed and essayed to race along in front until nearing the stretch, but Royal Beacon called it a day before the quarter-pole had been reached. Serfmans speed improved in the last five-sixteenths and, fortunate in saving a lot of ground when the tiring pacemaker went wide, drew out and although roused with the whip, was never seriously endangered by the belated challenge that the Campbell color-bearer offered. Royal Guest weakened in that last furlong but held the minor share of the purse safe from Dan McCrimmon. Prince Westend, under the guidance of apprentice Lee Humphries, scored in the running of the juvenile event of the afternoon. The son of Westwick reached the finish of the five and one-half furlongs a neck to the good of B. Pomeroys Campdore, with Walter Jr. some distance back in third place. Prince Westend was saved close up for the first half-mile, saved ground at the final bend and, after racing to the leaders, was slowly drawing out at the finish. Campdore had a lot taken out of him in disposing of Meany and had nothing left to stave off the winner. Walter Jr. was forced to thread his way through his field and came in courageous fashion through the closing furlong. The well regarded Meany, after racing prominently, faltered and landed in fourth place.
