ST. MICA RIVERSIDE WINNER Ideal Conditions Prevail for Sport at Kansas City Course Numerous Surprises on Off-Day Card. KANSAS CITY, Mo., May 31. Ideal racing conditions prevailed for the mid-week offering at Riverside Park, and a crowd that was above expectations was on hand when the horses went to the post for the first race. While the card was made up entirely of claiming races, some interesting sport resulted, with most of the early winners turning up from unexpected quarters. St. Mica carried the colors of S. and J. Molay to an easy victory over the eleven that opposed her in the third race, also over the Futurity course. Hustled into the lead shortly after the start, the winner made every post a winning one and at the finish was easing up to be home six lengths In the van of P. L. Fullers Country Tom, which had little trouble in holding Mueller safe for second place. Judge Dixon, the offending favorite, began slowly and was always far back. Two-year-old maidens furnished the competition in the first race over the five-eighths distance and twelve paraded to the post, the winner turning up from an unexpected source when Mary Ellen S., ridden by R. Tilden, got up in the last few strides to beat Cursor by a neck. Another short neck back of Cursor came the favorite Coya. The winner got away a trifle slow but when called on in the stretch came with a challenge that was not to be denied and snatched victory in the last few strides. Belle Delight proved to be the easiest winner of the meeting when she led home a band of twelve maiden three-year-olds by seven lengths. Drastic Lass was the one to place, while the Three Ds Stock Farm Stables Mosquero raced into third place. The winner showed extreme speed from the barrier and, after opening up a lead of eight lengths after traveling a half, was taken under slight restraint to win unex-tended. Drastic Lass, the one that placed, raced in that position throughout and easily held Mosquero safe. She suffered minor interference in the early stages, but finished gamely when 01631". Lady Westy, the favorite, tired after going a half mile.
