LADIES DAY AT RIVERSIDE Big Crowd Present Despite Necessity of Topcoats for Comfort Irvin j H. Wins Another Purse. KANSAS CITY, Mo., June 11. Friday was Ladies Day at Riverside Park and a large number of the fair sex took advantage of the managements offer to help swell the crowd to large proportions for a week-day attendance. Eight well-balanced races was the offering and, while the entire card was turned over to the plater brigade, interesting sport was the order of the day. The track was still slow and the weather somewhat cool for this time of the year and topcoats again were in evidence. Irvin H. scored his second straight victory of the meeting when he led home a rather small field of two-year-olds that opposed him in the running of the first race, which was over five furlongs and eight went postward. One length back of the winner and driving hard came C. Howells Magic Baby, with Sir Almadel, the early pacemaker, holding on long enough to save the minor portion of the purse from the fast finishing Mr. Mickey.
