FIVE FOR LADY HIGLOSS fifth Straight Victory for Para-mount Stables Good Juvenile. jockey Westrope Has Another Good Day at Hawthorne Single Stripe Wins Head Decision. CICERO, 111.. Aug. 10. Lady Higloss, the good juvenile daughter of Ladkin and Higloss, among the several horses O. L. Foster is racing for the Paramount Stable, nom de course of J. W. Frye, stretched her string of successive winning performances to five .when she again defeated the fleet Kentucky filly, Penncote, owned by the Young Brothers, and five others of her age in the Adel-phia Purse, which headed a revamped program at Hawthorne this afternoon. The Paramount filly, a 2 to 5 choice in the betting, won in handy fashion under a good ride by Jack Westrope and her final advantage over Penncote was a length. A distance of six lengths separated Penncote and O. F. Woodwards Coflier, which saved third honors and the four others, Swiftsport, Full Tilt, Sylvia and Cantie, reached the end of the five and one-half furlongs well stroung out. Although she was nervous while at the post, the winner began well and before completing the first quarter was showing the .way by a clear margin over Penncote, and the others. As she negotiated the turn, where she slightly increased her advantage, jockey Westrope had her under restraint, and she had more than enough in reserve to hold the determined Penncote safe in the stretch, where Coflier outran the others. ESTABLISHES PINE RECORD. The victory kept the winners slate clean of defeat since her first start at Arlington Park, when she was third, and the race was her seventh engagement since she made her bow at Lincoln Fields. On the strength of her fine record, she is one of the choices for the Hawthorne Juvenile Handicap, to be run one week from Saturday. An early morning threat of rain caused several withdrawals from the small field named for the Old Reliable Purse, or fifth race, and the feature of the program as originally drawn, and racing secretary Joseph McLennan made a hurried shift, displacing the feature with the substitute or emergency race, entries for which were carried on the overnight card. The rain, however, failed to materialize, and a bright sun beamed down on the fields as they raced over a fast track throughout the afternoon. . The substitute race, engaging eleven over the six and a half furlongs route, caused a mild surprise when W. F. Axtons Broom-shot, ridden by W. D. Wright, was the winner. She led from the stretch turn and won by a length from Gallop Along, which wis only a nose better than Sun Teatime. The latter ran into adverse breaks all along the course and with better fortune probably, would have made good for her backers. She was the favorite. BENEVOLENCE AT PRICE. Benevolence, at long odds and carrying the popular E. R. Bradley colors, raced to victory in a driving finish and by small margins over Playful Martha and Siclette, which were the choices, in the first race for which eleven maiden juvenile fillies comprised the field. The running over the five and one-half furlongs distance saw the winner regain the lead after she had lost it to Playful Martha a furlong from the finish and when making the final few strides she pulled away to win by a neck, which margin also separated the runner-up and Siclette. But for bearing out all the way, the latter might have been the winner. Candescent, which finished fourth, faltered after leading the large field around the turn. Towee, making his first appearance since arriving here from Bainbridge Park and the recipient of confident backing, won by a head from Scotland Beauty in the second race for older sprinters of the cheapest sort. Aliens, which alternated with Bugs Leary in the early pacemaking and tired in the final drive, was third, three lengths away from the leaders and as far in the van of Bugs Leary. As a result of getting away very slowly and being blocked on the turn, Portmanteau, which many expected to prove a strong contender, had no chance to show to best advantage. Chicago-owned horses finished first and second in the third race, for older maidens, when F. Grabners Single Stripe and O. W. Lehmanns Her Elegance landed in those places before the ten others.
