RYE WINS VERCHERES PURSE Colored Artist Takes Early Lead but Is Unable to Withstand Rush of Barrys Colt. MONTREAL, Que., Aug. 3. A card composed solely of claiming events was Dorvalg offering for today. The best race was the fifth, styled the Vercheres Stock Farm Claiming Purse, named after the Quebec breeding farm of J. Cattarinich. A. C. Barry furnished the winner in Rye, a three-year-old son of Noel and Meddling Miss. He scored at the direct expense of the home-bred Colored Artist that performs for E. Bowie. The show position fell to the stoutly supported Calchas, from the J. P. White string. Rye was ridden by M. Zane and it marked the first winning mount for the lad. The field was an unruly one at the post and occasioned a delay of six minutes before they were caught in a good alignment. Colored Artist was quickest in racing stride and showed the way. Visa and Calchas were following the Cudgel filly closely in the early stages, while Rye was not far away and racing under steadying restraint. Colored Artist continued with good speed and, straightening out in the stretch, was well clear. It was after reaching the stretch that Zane called on Rye for his best. The colt responded gamely, soon drew even with Colored Artist, and although Wall subjected the Cudgel filly to punishment, the latter -was a length back at the close. Calchas had weakened somewhat through the late stages, but managed to hold to third place under a drive. Rain that fell during the noon hour and which continued for the greater part of the afternoon served to reduce the attendance to the smallest of the meeting while the racing strip was deep and heavy. Kitling, which H. Neville acquired via the claiming route during the Connaught Park meeting, earned her first purse since joining the Neville string. This was in the opener, for Canadian foals. Kitling came from last place to score and reached the end a length before Tout Feu. The third portion of the spoils fell to Gold Coinage. Kings-way and Foggy Dew drew away from the others soon after the start and set the pace for the first six furlongs. Kitling began to move up leaving the back stretch, and, going to the front in the stretch, was in hand at the windup. Tout Feu came from the rear to be second, and Gold Coinage passed the faltering pacemakers for his share of the purse. Brilliant Bud, a daughter of Bud Lerner and Brenda, finding the heavy going to her. liking, made a show of the mediocre platers that paraded postward in the third race. Under the riding of Thurber, Brilliant Bud dashed to the front immediately after the start and soon opened up a good lead on her closest rival. Thurber took the filly wide into the stretch in search of the best going, permitting Londsun and Balai DOr to get within hailing distance. The latter pair were unable to improve their positions in the stretch drive -and Brilliant Bud raced into a lead of three lengths as the finish line was reached. A big gap separated Londsun and Balai DOr for their share of the purse.
