CANRON DISPLAYS FINE SPEED Vaughan Filly Outruns Aegis and Swatter at Havre. Clear, Cool Weather and Fast Track Prevail Protractor Takes Measure of Pancho Lopez. HAVRE DE GRACE, Md., Sept. 30. Speeding over the mile and seventy yards distance in 1:42, just four-fifths of a second short of the course record, W. W. Vaughans good filly, Canron, won the best offering on todays program here. Her splendid exhibition of speed enabled the three-year-old daughter of Catalan and Roma to score by a length and a half over Aegis, from Walter M. Jeffords stable. The Brann Castle Farms Swatter was third, at the heels of the latter. With only 104 pounds on her back, Canron sprinted to the front in the run to the first turn and, after taking a clear lead, was rated perfectly by Jimmy McCoy, even though Aegis, Swatter and Laughing Queen were at her heels in running down the back stretch. Laughing Queen had enough at the half-mile ground, where both Aegis and Swatter made an attempt to overtake the flying leader, but Canron held her ground as McCoy continued to hold her under mild restraint. Reaching the entrance to the stretch, where she went out from the rail slightly, Canron increased her speed as Aegis succeeded in putting Swatter away. McCoy depended on hand riding the stretch and the Vaughan miss held Aegis at her heels all the way to the finish. Swatter tired after his challenge on the turn, but he easily held third by four lengths over Laughing Queen. Delicacy was fifth and Duchess of Marlborough completed the field. The weather was clear and cool and the days sport was decided over a first class track. The same conditions are expected to prevail for the closing program tomorrow. The fourth race, at six furlongs, attracting a well matched field of nine sprinters of the ,000 grade, resulted in a warm finish in which Protractor defeated Pancho Lopez by a half length with Vishnu in third place. Protractor, in scoring his second victory of the meeting, was guided by the youngster, W. Todd, and ran the distance in 1:12.
