Yesterdays Racing Program.
The racing program yesterday afternoon
included two events-the ESQ pace and run
| at four furlongs and repeat. Excepting the
winner, the field that faced the starter in
| the pacing race was about as poor a lot as
| ever attempted to race on the Rockville
| track. Captain. belonging to Mr.. Charles
Veirs of this vicinity. proved himself easily
the best, winning in straight heats with
| out extending himself. Elsenore. the prop
| erty of T. c. Keys and Walton Boy, be-
| lcrging to Albert Rabbit were distanced
| in the first and second heats respectively.
The running event brought out a field of
seven. Seagate. in charge of John Seeley.
the noted horseman of Ashburn, Va, was
| hot favorite in the betting in the first heat,
| but was practically left at the post and was
never prominent. This heat was won by
| Mamie Ordway who assumed the lead soon
| after the start and was never headed. De-
| sio. belonging to the veteran turfman.
| Thomas Hickn an raced into the place and
| forced the winner to a hard drive to stall
| him off. Dr. Lynch was an easy third. The
second heat found Mamie Ordway the IA
| vorite in the betting her price being never
| better than 8 to 8. Seagate was held at
| to l, the others ranging from that to to 1.
| Sea gate again got poor start. being sew
| eral lengths behind when the word was
| given. He gradually worked his. way to
! beating Ordway about half length. The
| fral heat was captured by Seagate, who
won under wraps.
