SPEED TESTS AT BRIGHTWOOD.
Successful Sport Enjoyed by Large
Attendance.

A fast track, weather just fit to put
horses on their mettle and an unusually
good attendance combined to make the
matinee given by the Brightwood Trotting
Association yesterday the most successful
in the career of the enterprsing organiza-
ton. In addition. excellent judgment char
acterized the management. and the starts
were all good.
Much interest was centered in the match
race for 500 side between those two
good roadsters. Claymore. jr., and Shaw
ford, won by the former in straight heats.
Shawford did not seem to be exactly right
and another race between the two Will
probably be arranged as a feature for the
approaching Rockville fair, which will be
held September 5. g. and 8. under the
auspices of the Montgomery County Agri-
cultural Association
The chief event of the day, however, was
the match race between Lewis Collins
Harry c. and Timothy Shugrue's Adah
Wells. won by the latter after the horse
had won the second heat.
There were five starters in the colt race
for four-y ear -olds. which was won by Ma
mic D., who won the second and fourth
heats in good style.
to beat his best time, 2.39A, and handily won
the trial in 234A, cutting his record down
four seconds. A running horse, ridden by
Robert Bedford. paced the handsome big
son of Prince OrloH.
