MULLIGAN FORT MIAMI, Maumee, Ohio, May 8. — Jockey Kenney Robertson, who has been riding with continued success, added another victory to his saddle triumphs bringing his total to 23, only one behind jockey Arthur Farrell when he booted L.

The Moore colorbearer paid 2.00 and traveled the five panels in 1:00% over a fast track. Steel Strike finished third to gain a head verdict over Blue Toledo for the show award. The favored Royal Stream, who pulled up sore, finished ninth beating only one horse in the ten-horse field. The second race went to E. Nikirks Promising who was installed as the public choice and made good when apprentice Edward Christison got his mount to the front to outgame Come Early in the closing strides. Come Early, who was ridden by Robertson, was hustled to the front, and looked like a winner until the fast charging Promising drew by her when the real test came.

Mr. Puddy Cat registered with ease here last Saturday, winning hy four lengths and off that splendid effort he is likely to be the prohibitive choice. Telamon, from the establishment of J. I.
