horse, and but for an unfortunate break
near home would have won 1t.
In the third heat corbin brought the bay
score, boiling from fourth horse place, and
by the time the back-stretch was reached
was bowling down one by. one the
leaders like man at :, ten pins.
until his mare reached the sulky
wheel of Elsie g. around the upper
turn. At this point Rumsey made his drive
with Schley Russell and Belle and Schley
had 1t out between them all the way down
far as the upper turn again. Here the
local mare gradually shook him off. Half
way from the head of the homestretch to
the wire Corbin went to work on the bay
mare; johnson, behind Elsie G., perceiving
his danger, went to the whip to stall of
the bay mare sSrush. and escaped defeat by
nose in 217 Ia. The Russell horse fin
ished a length back of Belle Hazel under
the persuader also. The first and third
heats tell the story of the speed capacity Of
Belle hazel and demonstrated to almost a
mathematical certainty, to any experienced
horseman who saw the race, that the
Washington mare Is equal on good track,
good day, to a mile around 2 Is, and equal
to 1t three times around at that AS
matter of fact Corbin is confident that he
could have won the first and third heats
had he set out to do so. but the time
frightened him off. as the owners of the
mare are not yet prepared for so low
mark.
Red Rock, in the same field, did not seem
to be ready for bruising race, although
he is capable of extreme speed in spots.
Seeley was quick to see the condition of his
horse, and after the first heat his efforts
were confined to getting back his entrance
money, but. unfortunately he failed even
in that. Ray NJ, in the .. % trot, was on his
good behavior in the first heat and finished
seemed too fast for him and he INDUCED in
his usual song and dance. He is horse
that can break and catch on 1O-cent piece.
Anent Belle Hazel: Since the last writing
her dam has been discovered and her ped-
gree established beyond all peradventure.
Belle Hazefs dam is Novia. 2.27A, dam Of
five, viz, Belle Hazel, 2.19A; Frank A.,
222A; Keepsake 2.2OA; Potomac, 222A,
and Antietam 2.29A, by the great Robert
McGregor. Novias produce at the trot and
pace place her in the much-coveted great
broodmare list Mr. Carlos De Garmendia
of DoubS Md who bred Belle Hazel, has
full brother to her, which he thinks will
prove to be faster than any other member
of the family. Belle Hazel's next start will
be at Johnstown, Pa, to which point Mr..
Corbin will ship his string after the meet
ing at Prospect Park, which takes place
during the coming week.
On Thursday Kushan won his sixth race
in the southern circuit over the Timonium
track in straight heats, there being nothing

E. F. Halls luck still abides with him.
Kushan is still in the 2.20 class. L. A. Nc
Cormick's Mysotis cashed on the same day
in the oil trot and pace, after dropping
the first heat to the bay gelding Kidd All
in all, Washington horses have more than
held their own during the week against all
corners, which demonstrates that the Dis
trict of Columbia is not so slow when the
money is in sight.
DR.. Bell, 2.17A, in the Corbin stable is
rapidly rounding to his old form again, and
Mr.. Corbin expects to start him in the 21S
pace at Prospect Park this week. Luckily
he was not foundered, as was first dag
nosed by the veterinary, but was permit
ted to cool off too quickly after his Rock
vile race. He worked a mile over the
Gentlemens Driving Park Tuesday last in
2.26; middle half in LOO.
