TRYANDAGAIN IN FRONT Victory Popular With Winner Strong Public Favorite. .Crowd Exceptionally Large Despite . Bad Weather Conditions Peace Lady Earns Purse in Third. CICERO, 111., Oct. 18. Tryandagain scored his first success of the meeting when he got away with honors in the fifth race called the Lincoln Park Purse, the feature offering on todays program and which was given over to performers of the claiming ranks. Plunging Sun, with the inexperienced C. Mills up, finished second and third went to Happy Lad. The victory was a popular one due to the fact that the winner was installed a heavy favorite and he never left the ultimate result in doubt after going half a mile. Following in close pursuit during the early stages, he moved to the front when urged and, then taken in hand, continued gamely to the end, where he had an advantage of one length and one-half, while Plunging Sun was five lengths in advance of Happy Lad, which gained his placing without opposition. Scimitar, which came in for much support, failed to be a factor and was badly outrun. Bud Charlton set the early pace, but was outrun after going three-quarters. King Pin turned in a disappointing performance and Water Port was far back for the entire race. The crowd was exceptionally large, considering the gloomy, overcast skies and rather cool weather. The track was fast. Ten juveniles of the ordinary type visited the post for the opening five-eighths dash, and North Shadow, after twelve unsuccessful starts, finally found a band that he could beat. Adolph Krasa, from the stable of Mrs. E. Denemark, was second, and Stately Lady led home seven others to garner the third award. SHOWS FINE SPEED. The winner, with L. Geving in the saddle, showed fine speed from the start, and he had the victor in the van after they had traversed an eighth of a mile, and Stately Lady dropped back to second position, while Adolph Krasa moved into third place, after a great loss of ground, due to his running extremely wide rounding the first turn. The successful trio had the race between them throughout, and as they turned for home they were in close alignment, only heads separating them, but in the drive home North Shadow drew out to win decisively, while Adolph Krasa got his placing by the short margin of a nose. J. D. Mikel earned another purse when his Belgian Lass accounted for the second race. Charm raced to second place and Royal Lassie took the third portion of the purse. The winner, racing as if much the best, was far out of contention during the early racing but, after negotiating the opening half, came through with improved speed and sped by her opponents one by one until she got to Charm after straightening for the stretch run. They indulged in a brief duel, with the latter giving way despite the energetic riding of M. Harrison, who rode a clever race to land the second part of the purse. Gumtree, the early pacemaker, gave way suddenly after reaching the stretch and failed to share in the prize money. La Golondrina, under a rather weak ride by L. Feeney, failed to be a factor, but turned in a creditable performance. Underdun, the favorite, failed to negotiate the turns successfully and his great loss of ground was the principal contribution to his miserable showing. KING IN LIMELIGHT. Apprentice Charlie King rode his second straight winner when he piloted C. H. Vos-koetters Peace Lady to a clever victory in the third. Hazel Denson, an outsider in the betting, was second and Buster B., another that was neglected, accounted for third money. The winner began slowly, but King was content to reserve the daughter of Peace Pennant off the pace and it was not until they covered five-eighths of the seven-eighths that he called upon his mount for increased speed. Under urging, Peace Lady responded gamely and moved past the leaders with rapidity and, as they turned for home, had a commanding lead which she maintained to the end. Hazel Denson furnished the strongest opposition in the final stages, but tired badly in her effort to match strides Continued, on twenty-first vaaej. TRYANDAGAIN IN FRONT Continued from first page. with her successful rival. Buster B. came through with a surprise effort, while Lofty Heights, which came in for considerable support, failed to be a factor and this on account of nearly unseating jockey Dupuy soon after the start. Jockey L. "Tex" Wilson turned in a brilliant performance to land Lillian Z. a winner in the fourth race when he got her home in front of Lerack, Pana Franka and seven other juveniles. After a brief delay due to the fractious-ness of Alma S. and Angon Ward, starter Brown got them off, with Alma S., having the alert Geving in the saddle, showing the way. She was closely followed by Anna Ade-lia, and Doramelia was in third place. As they reached the half-mile ground, Anna Adelia dropped back, and it was at this point that Wilson brought the winner up with a rush, and soon had her in the lead, which she never relinquished. Lerack, which was in close quarters in the early stages, worked his way into contention by going between these and was charging gamely on the victress, but his challenge was of no avail and he had to be content with second place, while Pana Franka, which had dropped back, came again and got up for third money. A serious accident almost occurred at the start when jockey L. Feeney was unseated from Chat Eagle when Sand Boot collided with him.
