A Green Country Mare Fooled the Tai
ent-A green country mare named Linkwood
May fooled the talent at the Prospect Park
races last week She is years old and is
owned by Mrs. j. E. Stansbury wife of DR.. J.
E. Stansbury, of Forestville, Prince Georges
county, Md. She won race in 2.27 q year ago
at Hagerstown, since which time she has not
been hitched to sulky. Mrs. Stansbury had
bought the mare because she was gentle and
good driver. DR.. Stansbury liked her and
used her in his daily and nightly visits to his
patients She arrived at Prospect Park Thurs
day night late and was put in stall without
an attendant. The mare had been delayed on
DR.. and Mrs. Stansbury had no sulky,
trainer or driver for their horse. The Doctor
and his wife arrived early Friday afternoon.
They bargained with Driver William Mitchell
furnish a sulky and harness. Mitchell had
never seen the mare, but undertook the job.
and he was about as much surprised as any Of
the spectators when he saw he was behind
winning speed.
After Mitchell had won heat the specula-
tors figured that the mare was all in. Ii not
there are speed enough in other entries to
carry her to break, and then they calculated
she would be beaten in the race and most likely
by the flag They we're right ip one calcula-
ton. Nettie May and The Brewer got near
her and she made break. "It's all over now ~
shouted a hacker of The Brewer. The words
were hardly uttered before the break was all
over and the country mare had settled down
to a line trot, apparently refreshed by the
short run. The Brewer, though aided by Net
tie May, found the task fruitless, and Link
wood Nav won her race. She finished the
fourth heat with ears forward and going in q
cheerful way, with speed to spare if challenged
to show it.
Linkwood Mays breeding deserves the
credit for her individuality. She is by Judge
Case, he by Brown, and he by Gov. Sprague,
owned by John l. Case. owner and breeder OF
the great Jay Eye-See. Her dam was by Robert
McGregor.
Mrs. Stansbury says her little baby girl plays
about the mare, brushing her hooks and ties
ribbons on the animals legs, and Mrs. STAINS
| bury herself drives her anywhere and every
where. She refused cash offer of 81 200 for
| the mare after her race on Friday.
| Will This be the Winning Ticket ?-Some
| wiseacres say the ticket to be nominated by the
| Democratic convention that will meet at Tow
son next Tuesday will be about as follows:
For State .Senator-John s. Biddison, l4th
| district.
For States Attorney-Robert II. Bussey, 9Th
