ishes marked the first TWO races AZ MARI
horo track to-day, the last but one of
the Southern Maryland Fair Associations
first autumn meeting.
John A. Munro defeated Seneca, a son
Of Disguise and Swiftfoot. after a brisk
drive in the first. and Hanock. out 10
the last ounce, got home In front OF the
clever bush two-year-old Cherokee Rose
in the second. Seneca and Hallock are OF
James r. Keene's breeding. and they be-
long 10 the stable OF DR.. s. W. Street,
Hallock is a son OF Ben Brush and
Peteryile.
The crowd which saw them run was
big one. Notwithstanding the riva!
attraction of an aviation meeting at the
old Benning track.
The Marlboro crowd was 300 strong,
and il broke about even in it's speculative
argument with the bookmakers. Some
top-heavy favorites went down in defeat.
20 be sure. but every winner was backed
we'll
The first was a flve-and-a-half furlong
dash for three-year-olds and over that
had not won at the meeting. and Horace
E, Chief Bartlett. and Tom Melton ran
with John A, Monro and Seneca. Orvine
l. Richards Dress Parade II disqualified
himself from running in this race by
taking a purse yesterday and NJ. T.
Green was scratched because he did not
behave.
Backed ny Washingtonians.
Tom Melton. who was once the property
of Samuel Ross. OF this city. was the
paddock tip. and the Washington con-
tingent went 10 him with great conf
dence. Tom Melton had a reputation for
speed. and fast horses are always good
on half-mile tracks The books opened
John a. Munro favorite, but il appears
that there was no one about Marlboro
track 10 bet big money on him, and his
price went up 10 2ia 10 I. II there had
been much delay at the post he would in
all probability have gone 10 3 TO /. SEN
eca was backed az flyes by Doc Streets
friends. and Horace Z. was played at
and 4 70 J. Doc Street, was supremelv
confident that Seneca would win. and
the Disguise horse probably would not
have disapproved his expectations if he
had known enough 20 keep in the course.
After showing the others the way for
three and a half furlongs he suddenly
tore out at the turn into the home
stretch. and Leibert brought John \.
Munro up on the inside and beat him
out. John \. Munro ran a good game
race. He was running badly and Horace
i. and Tom Melton shouldered him about
pretty roughly In the run 10 the first
enough 10 get up a sweat
The second was "a dash Of six and one
half furlongs for horses OF all ages, and
Hallock should have been the choice But
the bettors got the impression that he
could not stick six and one-half furlongs,
and they made Campaigner the favorite.
HallOck won because Clement made ju-
dicious use OF his first turR Of early speed.
Clement sent the Ben Brush gelding to
the front at the start and kept him on
the rail.
To-day was Bear of the Mountains first
attempt In a chase. and he did not make
a favorable impression. lie refused the
first jump again and again. IAzzie Flat
refused one of the jumps over In the
woods and Shove got in front OF her, but
she took the fences the second time she
was ridden at Il and come on and won
the place
Madeline l.. Dracoola, Wenoa. and
Silverine opposed the Monk and FL ORC,
and the bettors decided. after mature
consideration, that the Monk was the
best horse The fatherless colt was
backed so steadily his prices shrunk
from 10 to ! TO in the twenty-five
minutes devoted 20 speculation.
Fain, in the sixth made play with
Indora directly after the barrier lifted,
and she was in front on the rail all the
way.
Frank Rector purchased Maid from
William Midgeley this afternoon. Maid
is a daughter of Broomstick and Esteem.
