— =e MISS PATIENCE FIRST * Daughter of High Time— Duration Triumphant in Bashford Manor. « Audley Farm Colorbearer Remains Unbeaten After Fine Perform- ance and Four Victories. ♦ LOUISVILLE, Ky., May 13.— Miss Patience, swift-running daughter of High Time and Duration, carried B. B. Jones Audley Farm silks to victory in the Bashford Manor Stakes, worth ,590 and the feature of todays racing, on a good track here. Given an alert and strong ride by Gilbert Elston, she led the entire five-eighths, and at the close was under a mild drive and a length and. one-half before J. W. Parrishs New Deal. A half length farther back Speedy Skippy, Jack Howards colorbearer, and, like New Deal, a gelding, accounted for third money. Baby Stare, Constant Wife, the favorite, Angon Bridge, Cotton Club and Cash Surrender completed the field and finished as named. Although the race marked her first since New Orleans, where she was unbeaten in three starts, the winner was in superb condition and, after five-sixteenths, during which Constant Wife engaged her for the lead, was not in serious danger. When she tired in the closing furlong, Elston applied mild presure, which served to keep her safely in the van as New Deal came up and outfin-ished Speedy Skippy in the final strides. In the stretch run Constant Wife, which had such stout backing that she closed at 93 to 100, dropped back rapidly, and the others never were dangerous. The winner carried 119 pounds over the distance in 1:01%, excellent time under conditions. She paid 0.46 for . Again the weather was almost too warm for comfort and the skies heavily overcast, but the elements had no noticeable effect upon the attendance and a crowd as large as on opening day witnessed the sport, which compared with the most interesting of the meeting. A handicap for three-year-olds and over and at seven-eighths was secondary in importance. It was named the Seelbach Hotel and resulted in a hard earned victory for J. W. Parrishs three-year-old Isaiah, which, a week ago, made most of the pace in the Kentucky Derby. He triumphed after a bitter stretch duel with the older Cathop, J. Westrope driving him past the finish a neck before the Eastman estate representative, which outraced Jessie Dear, also a three-year-old and a filly, by three lengths. Such others as Marmion, Evergold, Sazerac and Mighty Atom completed the field. Our Admiral, carrying Warren Wrights Calumet Farm colors, showed a clean pair of heels to Jens Son, Hoosiers Pride and nine other maiden two-year-olds in the opening race, the first of the year in this section requiring the youngsters to race five-eighths. The winner, neglected in the betting, raced Continued on twenty-second page.

Jens Sons final margin over Hoosiers Pride, which narrowly outfinished Aryouthere, was a head. Adverse racing luck brought Hoosiers Pride to early grief, and he did well to save the minor award. Thomasville and Southland Duke also suffered in the early crowding. J. G. Langs Elmtree Stables colors were seen in their first triumph of the year when March King, a likely unsexed three-year-old by Pharamond II., took the second or Long Run Purse, for his maiden victory. The distance was six and one-half furlongs and C. Corbett had the winner in command after the first quarter. At the end he was two lengths in the van of Suffolk, which in turn outstayed the disabled favorite, Graceful Lad, by a length. Considering that he fell badly lame during the running and almost went to his knees when he stumbled on the far turn, Graceful Lad made a remarkahe showing. The winner was cour,r i in the betting with Ladykin and the ~ntry received only light support. The improved On Sir, which races for J. D. Norris, Jr.s Peconic Stable, was an easy and decisive winner over a fair band of milers in the third race, for which the unplaced Village Vamp had the call in the betting. Running the distance in 1:38%, the winner scored by three lengths over Threat, which in turn outstayed Tela by a neck. Wresting the lead from Billy Jones on the stretch turn, the winner came on fast and was not endangered by Threat, which stood the drive gamely and held on a trifle too well for Tela to catch with her late rush. The favorite went down without mishap, while Chum was so badly disabled during the running that he was pulled up. The Peconic colors again were successful when Old Judge widely excelled the eleven that opposed him at one mile and one-sixteenth in the fourth race. He took command when ready after a half mile and, after opening up a lead of three lengths, easily retained it through the stretch. Popo, a strong factor throughout, was second, a neck before Circean, which worked his way up steadily from a slow start. The winner, also ridden by H. Schutte, was the first favorite to get down in front.
