Our Kite, a scheduled entrant today in the Traverse City Purse, may be withdrawn n from the sprint in favor of his stablemate, I Good Question, to accept the Lake Erie J , engagement. Our Kite is a versatile performer " in any type footing and he has : raced well here, recently annexing the National ~ Open Purse, stepping that three-quarters ;" mile over a slow strip in 1:14 Vs. zl Previous to his local conquest, the Forrest " star visited the winners circle at Oak-lawn Park and Churchill Downs.

However, he finished :d third here May 29 to Tiger Matt and Sale le Price, beaten but two and one-half lengths is and he was a winner last season at Keene-land e- while engaging quick company. Recent e- morning trials indicate that the colt, It, the get of Lovely Night and Pembroke ce Lass, is rounding to top form and he is is expected to go rather well in the Lake Erie. c. Sonny M., a handsome chestnut son of of Sun Again and Miss Mars, undoubtedly Iy will give the Forrest duo stern opposition. n- The Marmorstein colt looked good here last ■* week when he captured the Oakland Hills £s Purse, turning back Nice Tint, Heart Flash, h Our Sister, Best of Breed, Ky.

The Sacks J* gelding won the GroSse Point Purse at at three quarters mile on June 5, downing lg Money Lender, Flashy Kay, Skyraiding, g, Sale Price, and Beauty Spot.
