nv Marauder Mr.. Cassstts maiden that never won
/. race before and has been travelling at the pace OF
a gravel car on a construction train In his previous
efforts at this meeting. Those who backed tho CAS-
satt stable In the Froneh pools exalted their horns
upon the mountains Of Judea, while those VINO put
their money on Eurs In the books and nesec'oo
Marauder felt like Absalom OF old whom no was
deserted by his trick mule.
Mr. Cassatt s the most amisble, kind hearted and
sosspoken of the millionaire owners Of the turf dc
"a candid open. minded and sincere He never h1es 10
raisScad any inquirer, and Is always Wiling 10 answer

trainer John Huggins. to start Marsuder as well Is
Eurus but he not extravagantly conhoen' us'
either would win. He did not bet dollar .oh o"no
Gurus or Marauder. Tho Dryers ana the seho'

and Garrison rode Marsuder. OF course "
sirablo that some horse should nn thar Nouiu oo
certain Of filing the last place. and for tha' PURPOSE
Glen Echo was started and met every resson@oi0 OK

Marauder never hsd burst Of speed m any pA'o
M him from his nose to his tail. He is simply rster
nothing more. SO Eurus went out 70 setue nsno'0

@ap5 Of the strongest sort made Mr. Aorriss hhy
Dr,iidess strong favorte. The FLY had never oono
ANYTHING In public. Tho track rumor was that "Snd-
ham walden thought her fast enough TO win the
Juvenile al Jerome Park. n that is true, the STICKY
track stopped her. for she did nothing IN the race.
In mud ankle deep Swift would have beaten Bella
n IN the second race. But on track that was grow

"a Kansas village Bella B. beat Swift without serious
effort.
Stakes ana the Dryers Blackburn was made
the favorite In tho books, while the
Morris pair coupled Civil Service and MueilAge,
led the betting IN the French pools. Blackburn
stopped at five turlongs, which seems his limit now
and Cfvn Service came homo alone. DnIzle In Je'er
wslden's stable is far better twoyearold than Civil
let Blackburn beat Drizzle Saturday When old
turfnen saw Blsckbum's hollow collapse yesterday
they changed their teeth and tore the bald spots on
their heads as they thought of Drtzzle Freddie Is
pretty boy and, oh, so good! But Freddie ought 10
be In his nurses lap imbIbng prepared food for in.
fants through quill. He should walt TO cut his
teeth before he tries to ride race horses.
J. A. B., Q greatly improved colt In the Brown
stable which contains a number Of severely de-
Perforated onos won the fifth race and the fsvorite
Bessie Juns was third only.
Anderson rode the fAvorite Raymond c., IN the last
race and won by patience, oamness and sitting still
seltcontrol seems the hardest gift for most young
Jockeys to got. Anderson . few years ago was one
Of the worst lightweight Jockeys in the world. Now
he is one Of the best. He generally
