C. Ernsts Al au Feu, which let down a big , following in his last engagement, made amends today by racing to victory i in the Forest Park Purse, a better grade claiming event which topped the days program at Lincoln Fields. Running the mile on a good track in 1:39, with Warren Yarberry at the reins, Al au Feu, saddled by Jack Skir-i vin, won by a length and a half as Don Creole, the favorite, beat Rough [ Diamond a similar margin for second place. Four others took part in the ; race, Miss Bonnie leading these past the judges. Al au Feu trailed the 3 others for a quarter, while Miss Bonnie and Don Creole were engaging I each other for pacemaking honors. Turning into the home stretch, the r = S • Ernst Ernst horse horse still still had had only only one one horse horse • Ernst Ernst horse horse still still had had only only one one horse horse i beaten. He was brought to the extreme outside for the final drive, and then he set sail under the urging of Yarberry, who was scoring his second victory of the day. Jockey Warren Yarberry was the days riding star with four winners. MISS BONNIE BEATEN. Don Creole had raced Miss Bonnie into submission a furlong out and had taken a lead, but shortly afterwards Al au Feu forged to the front and remained there to the end. Don Creole held on fairly well after being overtaken, but Miss Bonnie was tiring and finally was beaten a neck for third honors. Gray Jack was on top of the leaders for more than a half mile, but then gave up and finished far back. Al au Feu was a 5-to-l chance in the betting, and his victory was the second of the year. Although skies were overcast this afternoon, the weather was considerably warmer than yesterday, and a fair sized crowd was in attendance. STEWART SADDLES WINNER. Dan E. Stewart, who saddled J. E. Wide-ners Carla for a victory in the feature race • yesterday, sent Bucking, from the same sta-: ble, out to capture todays chief supporting . event, the six furlongs Gary Purse. Bucking, • a son of Chance Shot and the good pro-i ducer Buck Up, took the lead soon after the • start and held his position to the end, where 1 his margin of victory was a length. ; Safe and Sound was second, and Lady Thirteen, winner of her only other two starts here this meeting, third. Safe and Sound r might have been the best here, although , Bucking won with speed in reserve. The former was in close quarters on the turn, and it was not until he reached the stretch that he was able to swing into his best ; | stride. While he finished a length behind . the Widener four-year-old, Safe and Sound r beat Lady Thirteen a length and a half for [ Continued on thirty-fifth page.

Bucking, ridden by Warren Yar-berry, ran the distance in 1:14% and paid 3 to 1 in the betting. The colors of C. E. Davison were seen in front for the first time this meeting when Paulson charged down next to the rail to account for the first event, a sprint of six furlongs. Going to the inside when the pacemaking Strolling Miss and Broad Lights turned wide into the stretch, Paulson, ridden by Henry Hauer, moved up steadily and got to the front near the end to score by a little less than a length. Broad Lights finished second, and Strolling Miss, a length farther back, in third place. In setting the pace, Strolling Miss could never get far away from Broad Lights and in the final eighth neither of them could stall off the Davison horse, which paid almost 7 to 1 in the mutuels. ONE-SIDED WINNER. The second race, a dash of five furlongs for two-year-olds, saw Good Servant, owned by Hyman Friedberg and Edwin Axton, score in one-sided fashion for his initial victory. This homebred son of Monks Way was never a great distance back and, after reaching the stretch, took the lead with a ] rush. Once in front, he drew out steadily to be six lengths in the van, as he crossed the line of finish. He was ridden by Ernest Hanke, and paid 7.20 for in the mutuels. Spanish Belle, the slight favorite in an open betting affair, was far back throughout. Hanke came right back to ride the winner of the third event, Mrs. G. B. Scallons Sir Ajax, which was scoring his second straight triumph. The race was contested at six furlongs, and Sir Ajax outfinished I Boston Sound to score by a neck, with I Legal Advice, the favorite, coming from a good distance back, to be third. Boston Sound took the lead here, soon # after the start, and increased his advantage on the stretch turn, but after straightening up for the run to the wire, Sir Ajax moved up, forged to the front a furlong out, and held his advantage the rest of the way. Legal Advice had only two horses beaten turning into the home stretch, but he made up ground fast thereafter, and finished three | lengths behind the runner-up. Ep was I fourth. In taking the six furlongs fourth race, J. j D. Weils Banjorine hung up her second victory of the meeting. With Alfred Robert- j son at the reins, the strongly supported | I daughter of Royal Minstrel followed Humble Issues pace for a half-mile, quickly took ; command thereafter, and won eased up with five lengths to spare. Humble Issue | was no match for the winner, but she was good enough to take second place, a length j before Little Hig. Carlovinian was fourth, with four others following in his wake. Silver Braid, which came in for some support, was never a serious factor. M. Viseur got in from Fairmount Park with one horse, his wifes Flaming Play. I
