CRUSE Staff Correspondent BEULAH PARK, Grove City, Ohio, May 29. — Beulah Parks nine-day spring meeting comes to close with the running of Mondays holiday program of nine races. A ,000 handicap event headlines the bill, while the secondary offering is the Decoration Day Purse.

Rademaekers Fancy Feeling, 103, and the lightest impost of 102 pounds goes to Miss Rose Harris Cathoy Valley. Ferol S. is picking up seven pounds over what she carried to victory in the Governors Handicap. The Foray Array mare and jockey Billy Sackett were clocked the mile and one-sixteenth of that affair in 1:44 and had only a neck margin over C. Hart-wicks Red Sultan and jockey P. A. Ward. It was a nip and tuck battle from the furlong marker to the wire with each rider utilizing every available force and* was possibly one of the most exciting stretch "runs of the meeting. That was the first victory out of five starts for Ferol S. this year but she had been well tightened for the race with four preps in sprints over both a fast and a dull racetrack. The Decoration Day Purse shapes up as an equally interesting attraction even though for those campaigners which run with a price tag attached. This group is of either the ,500, ,250 or ,000 variety which are in the age group of four-year-old or older. They will compete at six furlongs for a portion of the ,200 purse and again it is difficult to ascertain a standout choice.

Jockey Norman Hart has ridden her to both victories and under his tutelage she may again be difficult to beat on Monday.
