I., May 15.— Conservative displayed fine speed to win the four and a half furlongs Watch Hill Claiming Stakes, for juveniles, which was the main attraction on todays program at Narragansett. At the end she was a length and a half clear of Calumets Talked About, and had finished out in :52%, two-fifths off Jackie D.s track record. The W. W. Adams filly was a good horse today and never left the result in doubt, leading by about two lengths for the entire journey. She was rid-[ den by Jimmy Lynch and trained by Lyman Brusie, a former trotting horseman who has a mighty fit stable of horses here. The race marked a double for Brusie, who had won the first event with Square. Prince Sador was a well beaten third in the field of eight that started in the Watch Hill, being some three lengths back of the runner-up and a length and a half ahead of Say When, which was coupled in the betting with Chanting as the Bill Gallagher entry. There was little to the race but Conservative. High Haste chased the winner for a spell, but soon gave way and Talked About took up the task, remaining in second place to the finish. High Haste quit badly and wound up fifth. Prince Sador was off slowly and finished well to run third. The others were never factors. The opening event was replete with thrills. Flying Play unseated her rider and ran off a slow three furlongs. One Night then took a notion to run the reverse way of the track and was only brought to a halt after having covered about five-sixteenths. Then Square, giving an imitation of a rodeo performer, threw jockey Jimmy Lynch. However Lynch remounted before Square could get loose. Khay also gave an unruly exhi-j bition in the post parade. After the field reached the post there was a couple of minutes delay. The start was a good one and, though Square was not first out of the stalls, it was not long before the Sickle filly was out in front and clear of her company. Lynch sent Square right about her business and the filly was never to be threatened, winning with a couple of lengths to spare. Maestrom closed considerable ground to race into second place and Flying Play after chasing the early pace, managed to defeat Cathy P. for third. Laddie Stone and Judges Verdict fought it out from start to finish in the six furlongs second event and at the end the former, car-! rying the Calumet banner, was a neck in front of Judges Verdict, which set the pace until midway of the stretch, flaunting Phil Chinns silks home for the place six lengths in front of Mrs. Clyde Phillips Mixed Goods. The show horse closed fast to beat Creston. Pretty Russell, a well played good thing, delayed the start and was away slowly. She trailed the field by many lengths all the way. Anderson rode the winner, which carried 109 pounds and completed the distance in 11:13%. The winner was the choice. Miss A. Doris Toano, ridden by A. Jolley, led for every step of the journey to take the third, another six furlongs sprint, but the five-year-old Happy Argo mare was driv-I ing hard at the end to stave off the bid of Guilder by a neck. Two lengths back the Liberty Lane Stables Sic Em finished third before Virbet. Toano broke on top with Moll, who delayed the start, right after her. Guilder was within striking distance and , moved into second place as Moll began to tire at the half-mile ground. Guilder appeared the winner as they rounded for home, moving up stoutly, but Toano held on gamely and scored in a gruelling drive. Brusie just missed getting a triple when Mrs. H. H. Browns Happy Helen beat W. W. Adams Col. Greene in the mile and seventy yards New England Owners Handicap. Col. Greene had set the pace from the middle of | the back stretch until they were ten yards from the wire, where Happy Helen drew alongside. A photograph was required from l Mr Days little sky parlor before the judges flashed the numbers. The duel between the leaders carried them far in front of the I others. John Werring, which ran third, was I three lengths back of Col. Greene. He set , the pace to the half and turned in a good effort.
