MURPHY HAWTHORNE, Cicero, 111., June 13.— » The Hasty House Farm stable, whose horses ] have been foiled in attempts to win two j previous Lincoln Handicaps, will make another try tomorrow when they send a trio postward in quest of the 0,000 added J purse.

He also finished first in the mile and a an eighth Buckeye Handicap at Randall l Park, Ohio. 1 Inseparable has been third in the Lincoln s f for the past two seasons.
