S|NCERLY OPENS IT'S GATES
Oracle, the Crack, Proves His
Title As C'lam 2ion.
CHANGE APPRECIAl' d 81 ALL
Public Talent and EOoIsmakers Loud
i'm Their Praises As to the
Comfortable Surround

lnSS.
Singerly opened it's gates yesterday for
a seven day meeting and one of the
largest crowds attended the races that
has been seen at any of the Maryland
tracks. This is no doubt due to the very
comfortable accommodations to be en-
joyed at this very picturesque track.
The racing yesterday was of the very
highest order, as some OF the races were
in doubt until the last jump.
The bookmakers didn't have things
quite their own way, as the talent won
four out of the five races. This is quite
an agreeable change for the spectators
and they will no doubt appreciate it as
they have been contributing toward the
bookies' bank rolls for the whole of the
last meeting.
Jockey A. Dorsey was the luckily boy
to receive the $50 for winning on 10 to
l shot.
Following are the summaries, entries
