ELKT0N TALENT ON HAND
Came From the Maryland Track
With Two Good Things.
ONE OF THEM WENT WRONG
They Won with juliet, But Failed
TO Cash on Johnny Books
Handled the Money ssi Idly Did
Some Fine Work With the Flag.
Duke John Full of the Dope.

The Elkton contingent invaded the out
law track across the river yesterday In Il
body. They came down with two hot good
things up their sleeve and the Alexander
Island ring was overflnwing with their
hard-earncd cash. The bcuks must have
scented good thing coming for eight OF
:hcm weighed in To do business.
The Elktonitcs would have been in clover
If Johnny had been fortunate enough to win.
They landed the first good thing" Juliet.
but did not back this half as hard as they
did Johnny. They one and all said that the
latter was a copper bound, air tight cinch,
that could not lose unless 1t fell down. By
the time Miss Elizabeth had put in some nf
her fine touches onthc 'cinch' they changed
their minds.
starter cassidy had an unusually for
tunate day with the flag. The starting
was so prompt that the horses were at the
post Tor the closing race 10y 4:30. Here
was where Cassidy fell down, however,
as when the flag dropped The Coon, who
was the best backed horse in the race.
was left standing at the post
QUIT ABOUT EVEN.
While only two favorites passed under
the wire in the van, the talent did not get
much the worst of the game, as three
well backed second choices also managed
TO scramble home first. The other event
went 10 six 10 one chance.
Duke John and Padre were the ones most
fancied in the opening race, the former
closing at eight to five and the latter
at two TO one. The Duke had n liberal
portion of the Speed-pToducing dope in him,
and as a result Won some ewhat handily
from Bomiville, who was a length before
Silver Queen.
Frank ID. was tile one most liked when
the betting was first posted in the second
race but before the horses went to the post
plunge came in on Partlian who was
made favorite at S TO 5. The best he could
do was Third to Frank ID. and Tolosa.
From the betting in the third race it
looked as if there was nothing in ii but
Jewsharp and BallinaS SlOc who both closed
at TO .. When it came to racing they
were neither OF them inside TIE money. The
winner turned up In Tommy Broptly who
took the lead at the head of the stretch and
won galIopiHs by two lengths from DR..
Faust.
COULD NOT CATCH THE LEADER.
The Dixie Stables valkyrie had tho
call in the next event closing at 10 10.
She ran a good race 10 the middle of the
back stretch where Juliet went out and
opening up a gap won somewhat handily
by length and Ealf from GlorianH who
beat the ravorite short head.
The good thing, Johnny, was dished up
In the fifth race, and he came within an
ace of getting the money. Gleason put up
an Al iinlsn on MISS Elizabeth, and
managed to get her home first IN hard
drive by head. Eclipse, Jr., was third
a length and a half behind Johnny. Tan
cred was made the choice in the closing
race, going to the post at six TO five. He
was not the only one played, however, as
The Coon was hammered from six to one
down TO threes. His chances Were settled
at once by his getting left. The fayorite
tralled to the head of the stretch, where
he drew away and won in gallop, by two
lengths from Dillon, j., with Drizzle third.
