RACES AT LEoNARDToWN.
Feature of the Homecoming Fes-
Invites in Old Maryland Town.

LEONARDTOWN, Md, August 13-The
second day of the "old home week was
busy one for Leonardtown. A large
number of ''home corners" arrived on
both the Baltimore and Washington steam
ers which reached this place yesterday
morning Residents from all parts of
the country poured into the town during
the forenoon. and in a few hours the
streets gave evidence of this being truly
a holiday season.
The first races of the meet were run
during the afternoon at the Leonardtown
race track. and fully an hour before the
time for the starting of the first heat the
grandstanu was filled and large number
of carriages had already gathered.
The first race was a 30 trot or pace,
open to southern Maryland horses. There
were five horses entered in this race, and
they were so evenly matched that il re-
quired six heats before the winners could
be determined.
The horses which were run in the sixth
and final heat were Treddo, owned by
Harry Floyd. which won the heat, and
Noble Boy, owned by j. Thomas Mat
tiEgly. and Louise Hal, owned by w. V.
Waters. they running second and third,
respectively. The purse for this race was
$40 Time, 3.07.
The second race consisted OF a 80 trot
or pace. and was substituted for the =. 40
trot or pace, which was scheduled for the
afternoon. This change was made owing
to the fact that there were not enough
horses of the scheduled class at the track
to ill the race. This race was run in three
heats. and was won by Happy G., owned
by c. Mott. Happy Schley, owned by
Mr.. Richardson. was second: William X.
owned by Mr.. Miller was third. and Belle
t. owned by George Richardson. was
fourth. The purse was $50 and was di-
vided among the four horses, the winner
receiving so per cent, the second % per
cent. the third 15 per cent and the fourth
10 per cent of the purse. Time. LIN. All
of these horses came from Washington.
The third race, the 2.15 trot or pace, was
by far the most exciting race Of the day.
In this race Cushion. owned by Miller.
was bealen by Sir Electroid. owned by
Frank Thomas. Out Of the four heats of
the race Cushion only won one. Elnora.
owned by DR.. Patton, was the third horse
in the race. Time, 2.32A. The purse was
for SIS. and was divided among the three.
giving the winner CD per cent, the second
% per cent and the third 10 per cent.
The judges OF the race were Robert c.
Combs. Joseph NJ. Mattingly and s. Paul
Hayden.

st. Mary at night. and was the largest at
tended social function that has ever been
held in the town.

HAVE ice WAR
LOS ANGELES MAN MAKES CAeS.
VAsS OF CITY TO GET
POINTER.

A representative of Los Angeles
ice company was making a canvass
of the city yesterday. What his visit
pcrtends remains to be seen. He
evidently paid Goldfield call, Tor
this is what the Tribune said:
Ice as boon for humanity dur
ing the hot weather has been an I'M
purchasable commodity for most of
the Inhabitants of Goldfield, but IS
a result of the competition of a Los
Angeles firm, it is probable that even
the most modest home will be able
to afford good sized piece of ice
every day.
The slashing of prices began yes
terday, when the new company pro-
ceeded to deliver ice at the rate of
$3.50 per ton. Following the wagon
of the new company was the wagon
OF the old Goldfeld company, which
offered to sell ice at $40 per ton. or
~ cents per pound, instead of 8
cents. which was it's former rate.
The fact that the new Los Angeles
company is able. to place ice in the
market in Goldeld at a cost to the
company Of but $40 per ton leaves
1t to be assumed that the drop in
the price of ice is not yet ended, and
that in the near future Goldfield NAV
expect ice rates which not suffer iii
comparison with most cities of the
country.
The Los Angeles company will
soon establish an ice plant at Las
Vegas, and the representative of the
company announces that when this
is completed it will be in position
to cut rates still further. The local
company which operates from Cod
Center, says that it can cut as low
as the new company, and even fur
Their, if necessary. The cost of the
ice to the new company, in Los An
geles. is SO per ton. This can be
delivered into Goldfield for 81 per
ton, making the entire cost of thu
ice $40 per ton. This gives the new
company decided margin.
