LIVELY DAY AT BRIGHTWooD.
l.. ID. Sales General BeaIe, Reduces
His Road Wagon Record

l.. ID. Sales General BeaIet Reduces
His Road Wagon Record.
The goose hangs at a very high altitude
at the Brightwood half mile today, for
yesterday was the elimination of the best
days sport ever had at the track.
The match race was won by Timothy
Shugrue's Adah c.; John H. Gheen's Clay
more jr., won the gentleman's road wagon
race; Michael Dugan's Mamie d. won the
colt stake race, and-E. D. Sales Cen
Beale won inshis effort against his wagon
race record of 2:39 Ia he trotting the
mile to wagon paced by runner in
2:35 Ia. Several watches caught time in
| 2:35 fiat.
John r. Kelly started the horses. His
| associates were Hon. Thomas F. Greacen,
of Baltimore, and Charles f. Hartung and
Henry Copperthite, of Washington. The at
tendance was almost the largest of the
| season and the track was fast.
The first race called was the match race
for 500 a side. Adah Wells surprised
everyone by going a full mile in 2:2S 1-2
| the first heat, beating the grey stallion
length. In the second heat the mare was
unsteady, and Harry C. won, pulled up, in
/ 2:33. In the third heat the mare squared
away and won out in 2:28 Ia In the
fourth heat the stallion could not be con-
! trolled and the mare won as she pleased
in 2:37 12.
| In the road wagon race there were three
starters-Shawford Princess Orloff, and
4 Claymore, ir.- Shawford drew the pole,
/ and for three quarters of a mile it looked
! as if he would win out but the bay gelding
! was at his best and beat him length in
2:34 fiat
| In the second heat Shawford was rank,
and McCauley could not keep him level,
and Claymore again led under the wire
| in 2:35. In the third heat Colin Steele,
the well known driver, tried to team
! Shawford but it was of no use and Clay
more, jr., won about as he pleased in
2:37 1-2
| It would have taken the seventh sol o.
a seventh son TO have picked the winner
in the colt race until the last heat was
trotted. AS it happened, however, Daisy
Lynne won the first heat Mamie d. the
second, Bion Boone the third, and then
Mamie d. cinched the game by taking the
fourth heat in great shape.
Starter Kelly then announced that Cen
eral Beale, driven by b. F. McCauley.
would attempt to lower his race record
to wagon of 2:39 Ia, paced by runner
ridden by Robert Bedford. Only once the
stallion scored down when McCauley nod
ded and he was off with the runner at his
necktie Around the first turn and up the
last stretch the son of Prince Orloff an
Lady Buckingham flew 10 the quarter pole
in 3S seconds, to the half in 1:16 1-2 to
the three-quarter in 1856, and into the
home stretch he came like piece of ma
chinery with the runner by his side AMI
McCauey teaming the stallion with all o.
his art The whip descended on the side
and back of the game and resolute stud,
but he never linched, and swep; under the
wire amid the shouts from hundreds o.
throats in 2:35 Ia. No such driving and
no such riding had ever before been seen
at Brightwood, and Mr.. McCauley and Mr.
Bedford We're kept shaking hanSs for some
time after the heat.
To round out the days sport, Charles
Talbot and Robert Blair engaged in a
friendly match for trot TO road wagons
! Mr.. Talbot's Darkness won the heat in
3 :02 Ia, but Mr.. Blair's Nellie B. might
have done better had she not lost couple
of shoes. The summaries:
