ri at nd
Marlboro Mr.. Benton's bay trotting geld
ing Sir Electroid made the best showing of
the lot. AT Norfolk he finished second in
the 30 trot, Tom Cannon's Silver Socks
getting third money. At Tasley the Benton
horse got third money. and at Marlboro he
won in three straight heats. beating Silver
Socks and the Winchester. Va, mare Estel-
la. The performance of Electroid at Marl
boro was exceptional. The horse was on
board boat and cars for more than sixty
hours without being off his feet. He was
| taken from the car on Wednesday morning
and raced that afternoon. and he raced with
nerve and spirit rarely seen, never allowing
| an opponent to get near him after leaving
the starting point
K
Lonne Corbin of Hamilton, Va, well and
favorably known to Washington horsemen,
has in his colt DR.. Bell a very promising
| bit of horsefiesh. In the go pace at Nor
| folk Dr. Bell was not considered by the
wise ones. John F. and Niger Boy were
all they could see John F. won the race
Niger Boy fell by the wayside after win
ming the first heat But DIR. Bell kept COM
Ing right along and pocketed third money
Again at Tasley the wise figured only
| John f. and Niger Boy in a race with
| thirteen starters. 1t was a struggle royal
between John F. and Golden Glenn, a new
proposition from Hagerstown introduced by
Ea COrhfu right
there each time with DR.. Bell, and again
took third money. DR.. Bell finished second
to John +. in the first heat in 2.2oA. and
was placed first because the Foster horse
ran too much, and then finished s. 3, ), 3, !.
Javins Brothers Nigger Boy has proved
an enigma to horsemen. Without a mark
the gelding started in the race for green
| PAGERS at Norfolk and took the first heat
as he pleased in 2.23A. In the second heat,
after leading seven-eighths of a mile he
went into the air and finished seventh. and
in the next heat was shut out. On the fol-
lowing Friday he started for a consolation
purse. He took the first heat in 2.22A and
the second one in 2.20A. Then he was
2.2a, and lost the ffth heat by nose to
three-year-old colt, Alvin, In 27h. At
Tasley. the following Friday, in with John
F., Golden Glenn, DR.. Bel and seven other
horses, he finished 2, 3, 4, 5. . and then
was sent to the stable. The time of the
heats was 2,22k. 2-22A, 22tIs, 230N and
22Jk.
Charles McDermott has withdrawn his
trotting mare. Marion Wilkes. from the
Maryland and Virginia circuit. With q
mark OF 2OS1a the mare could start In Moth
