Fancy Dream Triumphs In Detroit Juvenile Test Hits Wire Three and One-Half Lengths Clear of Pennwoven DETROIT, Mich., June 1.— James Paddocks Fancy Dream, a juvenile hiss good enough to win a pair of races during her New Orleans winter campaign, sped to a popular victory here today in the -third event, one of the better attractions on a fair card. Hustled into command by Eldon Coffman at the start of the four and one-half furlongs dash, the Louisville-owned winner held a three and one-half lengths margin over her nearest rival, M. E.
