of Spectators The talent had a shade the
better Of the twenty bookmakers, as three
favorites and one second choice scored,
while in the other three events on the pro-
gram outsiders were successful.
There were two feature eyents-the third
race, the Oakridge handicap steepiechase,
handicap for four-year-olds and upward
and the fourth race. the Amateur Cup, for
gentleman riders qualified under the
Association. The latter race was the most
popular of the two Mr.. George Nicholas
of this city rode the winaer-Ra tho1en--
that was quoted at 6 TO II in the betting
Monsoon Disappointment.
Mr.. Nicholas wen froa a good field of
crack riders and good horses. The brown
mare Monsoon made TO I favorite. was
a disappointment, as during no time of the
mile was she a CONTENDER. Monsoon was
ridden by M. c. Kerr, a brother of the
well-known rider, Dion Kerr of Washing
ton, who rode Monsoon to victory IN her
last race.
There were ten starters in the event, and
Ruby Hampstead, owned by Mr.. G. c. Nor
rison of this city and ridden by Mr.. Horace
White. was well liked by the talent. Mr.
Jervis Spencer had the mount on De Rus
sey, the winner of the race at the spring
meeting. with Mr.. Jones in the saddle.
Neither was in the money. Trapezist, with
Mr.. Evans of Virginia up, ran good race,
finishing close up for the place, while old
McWilllams. at % to 1, closed up strong,
taking third money.
The Elkridge steeplechase was captured
easily by P. T. Phelans speedy timber
topper, Ben Crockett, who, with Gallagher
made the fastest time of the meeting over
the two-mle course, going easily at the
finish Ben Crockett went the d stance In
4.23A. There were but five starters in the
race as Mamie H., My Grace, Son of Erin,

time around, finishing fourth with l. HE

last to finish.
Setback for the Talent.
One of the surprises of the racing was
sprung in the opening race of the day, for
ell ages, at one mile, when the Clown, at
3 to l. owned by Mr.. George Brown, jr., of
this city, easily defeated the to favorte,
Samuel H. Harris, and the crack Bradley
geldng. Peter Paul, and Pat Bulger. The
latter was quoted at q to l. and there were
many takers of the odds.
After the races the stewards of the local
jockey club sent an official order to Secre-
tary William p. Riggs, recommending the
refusal of further entries from Pat Bulger,
and also all entries by J. l. Thompson and
L. s. Wishard. 1t is alleged that Pat Bull
ger started when he was in no condition to
Hockey WiSh3rd who rode Pat Bull
ger, was also set down for the rest of the
meeting.
The talent received a setback in this race,
as Peter Paul and Samuel H. Harris were
picked to win hands down. The Clown,
with T. Meade up, and the light impost of
ninety pounds, easily romped away from
Peter Paul, with 116 pounds up, and Samuel
H. Harris. carrying 113 pounds. 1t was the
first defeat for Peter Paul in the last four
races in which he has started. The Clown
won, going easy at the finish in 1.41A.
T. s. Martin, a heavily backed favorite,
went down to defeat in the second race at
six furlongs, for two-year-olds that had not
started and won since September 10. 1903.
The event was won by Venus. 2o-to-l
shot, owned by Mr.. c. Morton Stewart of
this city, easily, with Henry Warning beat
ing out T. S. Martin in the stretch for the
place Proteus, also well liked, again dis
appointed the wise men.
How FRITZ scheff Lost.
FRITZ Scheff, touted a good thing, went
wrong in the fifth race at mile and a
sixteenth, which was won by the favorite,
Cheripe. FRITZ Scheff was a hot tip at
