LOCALS WANT TO
WIN THE MEET
Philadelphia and Wilmington
Horses to Race Again
on Wednesday

The second Of the series OF intercity
race meetings between Philadelphia
and Wilmington viii De held on We'd
nesday at the Belmont track. and
promises the hest matinee racing Of
the season. The Wilmington horses
have arrived at the track and will be
worked daily FOR the events.
Philadelphia's victory in three Of the
five events here last week was rather
unexpected, even by the Quaker City
horsemen. while the Wilmington horse
men were greatly disappointed. ana
they are determined % reverse the
verdict when they meet again. Sew
eral of the Philadelphia horses which
were looked upon as sure winners fail
ed to land the prize, but there will no
doubt be one or two new winners in
Wednesdays meeting.
Lena l.. u. Paul COnnelly's champ
ion matinee mare, showed poor form on
the half mile ring at Wilmington, but
Connolly feels sure of winning ut Bel
mont, and the free-for-all class
promises to be n great race. Tom
Young expects to repeat with Free
Mason. while Mercury, the McDermott
entry, is also picked to repeat. Phha-
delphia won the meeting at Wilmington
by only one point, and the Delaware
horsemen declare that ,hev viii sur
prise their opponents this week.
Wilmington expects 10 win with
II Ior ra1r
and could not do himself justice.
Queen Esther. who furnished q sur
prise, is looked upon as n winner, while
the pacing race is practically conceded
to Jack Gilman.
The diamond stickpins which were
awarded as first prizes II the various
events made big hit with the winners,
and there viii be a lively scramble for
them by others to land one of them this
week A blanket and whip are the other
prizes in each event.
The following are the classes and
entries on Wednesday,
Class A-Free for all trot.
