GOLDEN FATE EASY WINNER Much the Best in Second Division of Kenilworths Detroit Purse. Prince Fox Is Again Successful, Leading Good Sprinters in First Section of Feature Choices Lose. WINDSOR, Ont., July 27. The Detroit Purse, decided in wo divisions as the third and fourth races, was the offering of major importance at the Kenilworth course for the third day of the first summer meeting. Both were good contests and upsets occurred when Prince Fox, from the W. C. Weant stable, accounted for the first half, and J. E. Smallmans Golden Fate made a show of the opposition that he met in the other. Most interest was manifested in the second part of the split and in this the fastest time for six furlongs recorded during the present session was hung up. Golden Fate, sadly neglected, raced to a clear cut victory and at no stage of the journey after Higher, from the Sweeney and Limerick stable, surrendered the lead, was the Smallman colt in danger of meeting defeat. Golden Fate was ridden by the veteran, N. Foden, and triumphed by four lengths, running the distance in 1:13 and with any semblance of contention could have bettered the time. Following the smooth-running Smallman three-year-old to the conclusion of the trip came three others of the eight under silks and in a nose finish, Song Hit, from the J. Mandonia stable, earned second. Guardrail, from the J. E. Widener stable, received a like decision for third over Mrs. J. Mc-Graws Lady Menifee. Racing secretary W. Norvell furnished one of the best programs of the session for the mid-week gathering. Racing was conducted over a fast strip for the first time since the meeting was ushered in on Tuesday, but once again the strongly backed choices suffered reverses. Form followers came into their own when the well-backed Pass Shot, from the J. E. Widener stable, graduated from the maiden ranks to score a well earned success in the opening event, which attracted a limit field. Ridden by J. Pollard, Pass Shot, after being crowded back early, came swiftly, raced into contentioi after the initial furlong and, swinging outside Kieva, which was setting the pace, quickly opened up a winning lead and at the end scored by four lengths. Mrs. J. Badame furnished Beau Kilrane to take second place, while in a close fight for third Bungle, from the C. E. Myatt stable, took the measure of P. A. Markeys Saunter. H. A. Coulsons Toy Town raced to her second successive triumph when she repeated her last victory by scoring over a. limit field of sprinter platers that raced in the second race. Landing in second place and closely lapped on the winner came G. R. Allens Polyp, while third fell to the lot of C. Buntes Charlie, when he took the measure of Mrs. J. Badames Uppity. Never far from the fast pace set by Princeton, the winner displaced the Sherman colt and, racing along gamely until the finish, lasted to beat the Allen sprinter by a half length. Charlie, after briefly holding command on the turn, continued stubbornly with the first two and was just beaten another length as he held a safe margin over Uppity and the others. The winner was well fancied in the bulky field and her score was rather popular. Jockey L. Craver departed for Kentucky for a brief visit. He will return in time to accept mounts during the Hamilton meeting. General manager A. R. Loudon has issued a statement warning horsemen that have not been allotted stalls at Hamilton not to ship to that city course. All stalls have been applied for and most of the stables on the outside oZ the track have also been engaged. Frank Gilpin, who is handling a large draft of the W. I. Newmarch stable, is scheduled to leave for Hamilton after the conclusion of Saturdays racing at Kenilworth Park.
