Prospect Park Baltimore, claimed me
interest last week OF local light harness
hcrsemen Every training stable In WASH
lngton but one (Corbin's) had representa-
tives in the meet and. with one exception
met with Indifferent success. Up to FIJI
day only one locally trained horse, Pau'd-
ing Boy made good, and he is owned N
Pennsylvania. The best that Bedford Boy,
IN the Javins stables, and in the same
race. 214 pace, could do was fourth money,
which merely saved his entrance fee. Thus
far this season Bedford Boy has not met
expectations Last season he showed miles
In his work around 2.10 and was consid-
cred to be pretty fair grand circuit ma
terial by his owner and trainer. He may
round to later on and show better form
Colibra. In the stable Of Leonard Acker OF
this city. was even more unfortunate IN
his race, the 2.25 trot, than was Bedford
Boy, as the nearest he could get TO the
winner was fifth place, finishing the second
heat in ninth position.

In the 222 trot Wednesday Acker had
trihe better luck with the Electioneer geld
ing, Sir Electroid. also owned in this city,
as he at least saved his entrance fee. Lee
S. Dorsey of Rockville, Nd. started The
sOrre gelding Noble Boy IN the 2.22 pace
Wednesday and won the first heat in 2.2z14,
but at that was compelled 10 be content
with third money when the race was over.
In the special race, same cay which she
finally won, the bay mare Gherardia. for

city, captured a heat in 2.2614. faster mile
than most people In this bailwick thought
her capable of. Thursday Washington
horses again got It where Mary wore the
beads. After winning the first heat in the
2.19 pace Harry c. was distanced in the
fourth, while the best that Ada B. could
do in the ZIG pace was to save her en-
trance fee.
This week the scene will shift to the
Gentlemen's Driving Park, Baltimore The
