Stones brown filly Stonette, showed a field of masculine rivals how to crack down across the line with a smart effort when she responded to a lashing ride by Steve Brooks to capture the Galesburg Purse, mileand one-sixteenth ature that was witnessed by 10.782 turfites here this afternoon. With five of her opponents geldings and the other a full horse, Stonette, the only lady of the field, moved briskly over the dull, slow track that was drying out by the minute from the cool wind that swept over the course, and at the finish she was wo and one-half lengths ahead of Mrs. G. H. Emicks Tideover, while L. Schlossers Devils Island the favorite, failed to respond with his usual stretch charge and finished third. The four-year-old daughter of Bostonian — Nellie Lyons nad previously raced only once at the meeting without showing ■nny signs of speed, but today, as she was clocked the distance in lAS2/5, she was full of run all the way. Brooks, however, kept her in reserve during the early part and once he turned the reins loose and began to ply his gad, the filly bounced into contention and finally drew away. Battle Head and Head K. Durable and Five A. M. went out o set the pace and then battled head and head for the greater part of the journey. But when they were called upon to meet the closing bids of the first three, they fell to pieces, and at the head of the stretch Tide-over brushed into the lead with Stonette close at his heels. For a brief spell, Tideover held his feminine adversary at bay but right at the eighth pole the Stone stalwart shoved tier head to the fore. From there on ohe gradually moved away with Brooks, an ambidexterous lad with the whip, lashing away with his left hand to keep his mount from bearing over on the tiring second horse. Devils Island made a strong move on the far turn but was unable to sustain the drive and during the closing stages he fell back. A group of fairly promising three-year-old fillies made up the eight-horse field that stepped over the six-furlong distance in the Olivia Purse, fifth race and secondary feature, and My Star proved to be the first favorite of the afternoon to make the grade when the J. M. Hutchins filly impressively conquered her rivals. Mrs. L. H. Thompsons Cloy put up a strong fight for Continued on Paoe Thirty Perfect Bahrain Driven Out To Win St. Florian Handicap Continued from Page One St. Florian, followed by Belair Studs Hippodrome and Perfect Bahram, while Aladear was fourth and Lindberg had In-roc away slowly at the break. Phantasy quickly opened up a daylight lead over Perfect Bahram, who moved past Hippodrome into second place along the rail. Hippodrome stopped as the leaders reached the far turn, while Inroc moved up on the outside. Perfect Bahram steadily cut down Phantasys lead rounding the turn, while Inroc cut to the inside. Curving into the stretch, Perfect Bahram drew level with Phantasy on the outside, then bore over slightly as that filly stopped, and Inroc tried to come through on the inside, but just wasnt good enough. Meanwhile, Aladear, who had dropped back to last place, made a strong run on the outside that just caught the favorite on the wire for the place. Once beaten, Phantasy stopped all over, finishing last in the field of five. Rusty Stables Wise Friz, trained by Max Hirsch, Jr., and ridden by E. Garza, scored a mild upset in the fourth race, driving to the end of the five and a half furlongs a half length before Havahome Stables G. Ray, who jumped in the air inside the sixteenth pole when he apparently had the race won. Mrs. A. J. MacMasters Ben Lewis was a weary third after setting the pace to the top of the home lane. Cain Hoy Stables Heads or Tails, who was heavily backed in this dash for maiden juveniles, had speed for a quarter mile, then wound up ninth in the field of 12. Wise Friz paid 4.20 and was timed in 1:07%.
