QU1NCY MAKES AMENDS ; Carries Shandon Farm Colors to Success in Cretes Main Race. Triumphs Over Alice G. by Neck With Valdina Third Rain Plays Havoc With Attendance. CRETE, III., Oct. 9. The Teddy gelding, Quincy, from the Chicago-owned Shandon Farm Stable, maintained by P. A. and R. J. Nash, made some amends for his defeat here several days ago by scoring a driving victory in the National Restaurant Association Purse, six furlongs feature of the semi-final program at Lincoln Fields this afternoon. Carrying Bobby Dotter to his second tri- , umph of the day, Quincy ran the six furlongs : in 1:135 over a sloppy track to score by a neck, with Alice G., from the Tranquillity Fax-m. second, and the Valdina Farm entry of Valdina and Calculator third and fourth, respectively. Valdina was four lengths behind the leaders as he passed under the wire with his stable companion another three lengths away. Calculator, as pacemaker, and Valdina dominated the early furlongs, running first and second in that order as far as the final - furlong, but there both of them gave way badly. Alice G., with Basil James in the saddle, was first to overtake them, but just a few strides from the. wire the filly, in turn, succumbed to Quincy, which was scoring his fourth success of the year and his second of the local meeting. All of the first four to finish were well backed, with the entry a slight choice. Cavour, Palan and One Night were the only other starters, but none of them ever figured prominently after the first three furlongs, during which Cavour occupied fourth position. Rain played havoc with the attendance, torrential downpours about the time patrons normally would have been leaving for the track causing many to turn back. Shortly after the program started, however, the sun made repeated attempts to break through, though not very successfully. However, with bright skies tomorrow a big crowd is expected for the seasons finale. ILLINOIS FOAL WINNER. Making the second start of her career.

Eswood was third, a length and a half back of Countess Reigh, j and a similar margin before Trip.

Royal Charm, raced to the place, with Peter J. Peel third, another length away. Miss Flicker led home the others in thi field of eight nother to benefit by the slippery footing w 3 the Weil Stables Tomye, which made every post a winning one in the third, at six furlongs.
