BALTIMORE. April Good racing

the big crowd that turned out got a
run for its money. Speculation was
lively and the betting ring was packed
to sufocation with eager players
The first race on tne card was four
ard half furlong dash for twoyear-
olds- Billy Garth's Nagazam. on his
good work at Benning, was made an
ev en- money favorite and heavily back
ed Trainer Garth made no secret of
the fact that his filly was good. and the
crowd that strings along with the Yir
ginian got its checks down the minute
the prices went up.
When the barrier went up Nagazam
shot into the lead and held it to the
stretch. In the last sixteenth Proteus
closed UP, and, outgaming the Virginia
filiy, won rather haudily. Away came
from far back in the stretch, and got
the show money Proteus closed at 10

know won handsomely
Billy Garth's Mistiss captured the
second race al mile rather handily.
but She had to be pounds the best horse
10 do it. The start was poor and Mis-
tiss looked to be out OF it, until the
stretch was reached. when, after closing
up much ground. she got 10 the leader,
and disposing of him, came home alone.
Afailbar got off flying and opened up a
t,ig zap, looked TO be sure winner until
The stretch was reached. when he COL
lGpsed and finished outside the money.
There was absolutely nothiE g to the
, third race but Derussy When the bar
rier went up he shot to the front and
came homa breezing. Cinauevalli. with
Mr. Orem up, was second. and Mr. PARIS
King Albert. Mr. Nicholas up. third.
The favorite, Trapezist, made an unex-
pecte6ly poor showing, and was shy
his usual speed.
The fourth race was the Pimlico Han
| oicap and seven started. The field was
| rather cheap for a handicap. and the
| club hardly got the worth of its money
Flinders, coupled with Queen Belle ard
W B. Faring were added starters
There was a hot tip cut on Queen Belle.
who was reported to have shown a
wonderful mile in her work. and the
| entry was made the favorite and well
played.
The stable landed the money. but not
with Queen Belle. but with Flinders,
who was compelled 10 come to the front
at the eleventh hour. Queen Belle ran
well TO the stretch, when she blew up.
Flinders came from behind and running
over the top of her field, won easily.
with Lilac in the place. The Walden
! contingent thought Lilac good thing,
! but recl1oned without Flinders.
Westown in Gallop.
| The steeplechase brought out a field of
| seven jumpers. Mr.. Hayes Westown
/ was figured to have cinch on this
event. with Black Death the contender.
| Westown took the lead al flag fall, and
| for a while fla cred the hopes of his
! hackers. He tired, however, the last
| time around and. Arius, who had been
! sticking TO him like leech, came on
and won in a gallon. Gansevoort came
/ strong at the end and took the place
! from Black Death who ran poor race
for horse of his caliber.
The last race of the day was won by
! Escobor in a driving finish with Colon
