10 FREESIAS SHOWS FORM REVERSAL WINS FROM DURBAR IN TRACK RECORD TIME Decimo, at Nine to Five, Wins the Steeplechase Race Handily— Mil. ler's Ride Returns Del Cor. onado a Winner FOREST LOWRY The most palpable reversal of. form *een here this season occurred yester day at Ascot when J. A. Wernherg's Freesias won the sixth race over a mile and fifty yards of ground In the lemarkable fast time of 1:44%. Last Saturday Freesias wns beaten by Duti ful In n mile and seventy yards In tho clow time of 1:47%. The result of ths race shocked the talent and cleaned them of all the money they ever pos sessed. With Doctor C. and George Berry scratched, five of the three year-olds and upward class faced the barrier. Gua Lanka's Tryon was nl ways favorite and went to the post at 2 to 1. The Bassetlaw gelding made a rather poor showing and finished back in the ruck. I J. A. Wernberg's Freesjas, at the good price of 5 to 1, took his field into camp In the easiest manner imaginable and won handily within a half second of track record time for the distance. Durbar set the early pace and at the head of the stretch looked all over the winner. When the run for home began Durbar tired badly and was lucky to be third. Freesias came up on the out «lrle and simply cantered. Red Cross Nurse, held at 3 to 1 In the betting, was third. Chub, well played at . 7 to 2, ran In the rear all the way. Easy for Decimo Deelmo won the steeplechase race, first on the card, at 7 to 5, from Ai legiance and Cazador. Five went to the post and each came In for some support. Decimo was never extended and after taking the last jump hal things all his own way. Allegiance was anchored with the impost and on the end was tired enough to lie down. Jockey Miller's brilliant finish re turned Del Coronado the winner of the second race. Mammon was a goi>3 horse yesterday and with anybody but Dillon up would have won off by him self. He opened at 15 to 1 and was rlayed down to 7 to 1 at post time. Belle Dixon and Del Coronado set all the early pace and at the head of the stretch It looked as though the pair had quite enough. Belle Dixon suc cumbed, while Coronado stuck It out and gamely withstood Mammon's chal lenge. The latter had the race at htß mercy at the paddock and was winning off by himself when Miller made one more try. Del Coronado responded and under keen urging- got up again Into tho going and nipped the race from Mammon just at the wire. Jardin de Paris was third. Miller Tosses Race Away After displaying great jockeyship in the race before Miller tossed off the next event by making his move too late with Kehailan, the favorite. Ret ador, at 7 to 2, scored a lucky but well earned victory. He grabbed Linda Rose In the stretch and then raced her into submission through the stretch. Kehailan was always well up but Mil ler overrated his mount and came at Ihe end with a much belated rush. He Pimply tossed the race away and made a 1 to 2 shot look like the proverbial thirty cents. Linda Rose's early speed kept her in the money, but she did not have enough left to stall off Ke hallan's rush. William Wright, closing at 9 to 10, won the free handicap event, fourth on the card, from Ishlana and Arabo. Wright was always favorite and went to the post carrying a ton of the pub lic's money. After Arabo ran his head off in six furlongs, William Wright some on and scored as he pleased. Ishlana, coupled with Ishtar, was held at 3 to 1. The latter was never In the hunt. The Lieutenant Wins Harry Stover's Lieutenant was a good horse yesterday and at the liberal price of 5 to 1 disposed of a very or dinary bunch of bad ones. Palmist, whose recent races have been right up to the notch, was made favorite and was held at 3 to 2 in the betting. He was never dangerous and wound up in the rear. Bandillo set the early pace and got out far enough In front to hold the place safe from Flora Bright. The Lieutenant came at the end with a rush and just did get up. TRACK NOTES Deelmo, the good thing In the first race, was backed from 4 to 1 to 3 to 2 at post time and through a superior finish on Hughes' part rewarded his backers. Throw out Jim Bozeman's effort as he could not handle the weight and tired badly when the final drive came. Mammon was backed heavily In the second race. A flood of money went pouring In until his price was forced down to 6 to 1 from 15 to 1. Dillon, who had the mount, did all but fall off. He vas pocketed twice and shut out and ut that would have won If he would have kept still In the stretch. Instead he worked against the horse's strldo and was beaten a head by Del Coro liiulo. Miller, on the latter, put up a swell finish, which won out for him. Throw out Hea Kick's race of- yester day for future calculations, as It was too bad to ' be true and she can do better.

Booker, who rode Linda Rose, was fined $50 by the judges. Ishtar bears watching as she showed some early speed and will win soon. Sun Mark is good and fit to win and when a jockey rides will be hard to beat. Dillon, who rode her yesterday, is of no help to a horse. The Lieutenant came to life suddenly and won easily. In his last race he ■was beaten off, but yesterday he was heav ily backed and won handily. Palmist, as usual, with Mclntyre In the saddle, was the victim of a bad ride. This one is ready to win, but re quires stronger handling than Mclntyre can give him. • • • Flora Bright made up a world of ground after being badly outrun the first three quarters.

With a better ride he would have fin ished third. • • ■ Red Cross Nurse was backed from D to 3 to 1 at post time on the strength of a fast workout, but she had to be content with the short end of the purse. Freesias, after winning the sixth race, was bid up $500 over her entered price by L. A. Bonsack, but, as usual, $5 kept her for J. J. McCafferty's bun.

MORRIS GOING TO OAKLAWN TRACK REPORT THAT CUSHING WILL ALSO SHIP THERE Hot Springe Track Is a Beauty and Represents a Great Expend!. ture of Money— Stabling Room at Premium Special to The) irnnl.l, HOT SPIIINOS, Ark., Feb. 9.-Kvcr fickle ns a weather van* 1 , public senti ment, as represented by the attitude of the horsemen assembled here, which two weeks back was supposed to be looking away from tho Western Jockey club, hits veered around In the Inst few days and almost everyone with a stable worth mentioning has joined In a rush to secure stabling at Oaklawn, John Condon's elegant new rnco track here. Secretary Nathanson has found him self the most sought after person in Hot Springs, and with horsemen the burning question of the hour hoa been "Will I get stalls at Oaklawn?" It la the old problem of trying to put a quart of water Into a pint Jug. There nre fewer than 750 stalls and to date the total applications amount to 1150, so It li a self-evident proposition that some one will have to be disappointed. In view of the present strained rela tions between certain turf magnates it may be worth mentioning that among the applications on file It Is said there is one asking for eleven stalls for Pat Dunne's horses. Some of the more sanguine accept this as a harbinger of peace. As Oaklawn nears completion horse men and visitors are coming to realize that here among the Ozark mountains John Condon has built a racing plant that Is a gem, having elaborated in lavish manner the somewhat extrava gant plans begun by Dugan and Stu art. The total expenditure to date is said to exceed $400,000, and the end is not yet. A sumptuous clubhouse is under consideration and much money I? to be spent in beautifying the infield. Half a million dollars Is a lot of money to put into a race track in Arkansas, but it Is figured that the first cost will approximate that figure when all the contemplated improvements have been made. The program book for the first nine days of the meeting, which will open a week from Monday, shows an array of purses liberal beyond expectation. For instance, the first day's offering is $3900, composed of two purses of $600 each, a $1200 handicap at a mile and a sixteenth for 3-year-olda and upward, and three purses of $500 each, and each day a feature race Is provided, the purse being larger than ordinarily. If nature will only regain its good humor and smile with warmth and ap proval much good sport should mark the inaugural meeting of thirty days at the elegant new Oaklawn race course, for many a good horse awaits the chance to race for the goodly purses with which Secretary Nathanson has embellished his program book. The stables are filling and every un occupied stall Is pre-empted. The tardy's only hope Is based on the pos sibility that some owner may change his plans and not ship here, in which case a few stalls would be released. Tokalon is one of a number of good horses awaiting the opening of Oak lawn. The famous filly has developed somewhat since she retired laßt sea son and critics agree she will be harder than ever to beat. Besides her, J. W. Fuller has fifteen horses at the track, among them being five 2-year olds. J. C. Cahn is on hand with Terra Flrma, Mordella, Kilo, Dolindo and ten 2-year-olds; J. C. Ferrlss has arrived from Nashville with ten; C. B. Camp bell has sent nine in charge of "Uncle Jim" Gray and his son, the latter also training a useful horse In King Ells worth, owned jointly by Billy McGurn of Chicago and J. D. McMillan, a Texan; W. W. Elliott, another Texan, has brought twelve, and J. C. Teager's stable of sixteen, including his Was wift, Leonidas, Glisten, Stuyve and E. G. Stutte's Sidney C. Love, has arrived from the Pacific coast, whence also came W. T. Brlnkworth's Little Wally, Stroller, SUverskin, Scotsman, Lucky Joe and The Cure, the latter purchased this winter in San Francisco. Green B. Morris and J. E. Cushing will arrive for the opening of Oaklawn from Los Angeles, bringing thirteen horses between them. From New Or leans will come W. S. Williams, with Ram's Horn and Phil Finch; Charlie Ellison and John Mayberry with seven; James Arthur with Huzzah, Slss Lee, Lieutenant Rice and others; Hart Dernham with ten, and some others. There will be a strong eastern delega tion headed by L. V. Bell's good stable, that contains such cracks as Glorlfler, Grenade and Monet. Barney Schreiber has over thirty at Oaklawn, and among them some of high class. Tommy Griffin also will have a big string there. J, K. Hughes, T. H. Btevens, John W. Schorr, A. J. Goldsborough, J. A.
