WISE PRINCES FINE SHOWING ♦ Accounts for the Pawtucket Handicap, Feature at Narragansett. ♦ Leads Home Go Quick and Happy Bolivar After Overcoming Early Disadvantages — Count Dean Auspiciously. PAWTUCKET, R. I., May 11.— Under the colors of Felix Spatola, Wise Prince spurted out at the start of the six-furlong Pawtucket Handicap that featured todays sport at Narragansett, and he was winner at the finish. In between time, he had gone back to fourth I place, a position he filled for most of the ! journey. At the end he was a length clear of Go Quick, from the stable of B. N. Kane, a horse that followed the pace from start to finish and turned in a game effort to run second, a nose in front of the early pacemaker, Happy Bolivar. Dancing Doll finished fourth in the field of eight, Happy Knot and Toration being scratched overnight. Wise Prince was off well and jockey F. A. Smith held him back of the early pace set by Happy Bolivar and Go Quick. He did not make a serious move until the turn into the stretch, and then took third place, in a position that was very threatening. Smith took the outside with his mount and, although he was driving, had him a length in front as they passed the judges. Happy Bolivar was I beaten, a nose, but was two lengths clear of j Dancing Doll at the end. Little Audrey, a flighty daughter of Neddie and Asinia, after eight previous attempts, I finally escaped from the non-winnners* j ranks. The medium for the initial success of the Mrs. G. Preece-owned filly was the opening contest exclusively for maiden ju-I veniles. Little Audreys triumph was a clean-cut one, the filly going to the front as i soon as stater Morrissey made the start. Hustled right along until she was clear, the Neddie miss came to the end with better j than a couple of lengths to spare over the first time starter Flying Play, a neglected one. Jeanne Fetzko, after straightening l herself out after beginning in a tangle, was an easy third. Guilder, thoroughly tightened by his re-I cent outing, had little trouble in capturing i the lion share of the spoils in the three-I quarter mile dash, second on the card. The j score of Guilder permitted apprentice H. Le Blanc to round out a consecutive double, I I having piloted Little Audrey in the first. Count Dean, making his first start since the Hot Springs meeting, proved an easy winner of the fourth, a dash at six furlongs. I Piloted by the veteran Johnny Leyland, the Torchilla five-year-old after working his , way up gradually during the first three furlongs, dashed to the front with a rush when | reaching the stretch to draw out with every j stride through the final furlong. It was the hard Hawaiian bred mare, Moane Keala, that chased the winner over the line though beaten by more than three lengths by the Haymaker representative. Broad-: sword, supported almost to the exclusion of the others, was sore as he paraded to the I post, and it was only his inbred courage that j enabled him to land in third place. The I Light Brigade gelding was nodding badly I as he came back to the stand. •
