By l.. ID. SALE.


There has been racing enough in near
by towns during the past week to satisfy
the most fastidious racegoer,
Laurel and PimiIco catered to the run
ming enthusiasts, and the tracks at
Hagerstown and Richmond furnished
good sport for those who hold that the
troUter and PAGER are the whole thing.
At Richmond, Washlngton-owned horses
fareI we'll in the summaries. Miss
Kushan won the 2:1S trot, which went
five heats, she trotting the first heat in
PIG II, and the fourth and fifth heats In
2:l7 IA and 2:17 IA, respectively. These
heats show the daughter of Kushan in
new light, and would indicate that a
mark of 2:15 is not beyond her capacity,
with everything iE her favor. In the 2:25
pace on Tuesday Norman Corbin,s Alcyne
got third money, while the South Caro-
lima mare Linda, in the same race, driven
by Cannon, paced to a record of 2:l6 IA,
and then gave first money to Helen
Coastman.
The fields at Hagerstown during the
week We're comprised of some very good
horses in their respective classes, but
nothing that verged on the sensational
order. There is good reason to believe
that the bulk of the fields at Hagerstown
will be seen at Laurel at the coming
trOttinE meeting, which begins October
Il and runs five days. There Will be some
rich picking at Laurel for somebody. for
the purses are worth going after. Racing

tention to keep it we'll rolled during the
trotting meet, and hopes to make its
surface hard enough to suit PAGERS.
The ST. Marys Racing Association eX-
pected to pull off its two days meet
October 10 and II. but realizing that its
dates would conflict more or less with
the Laurel track. the association will
hold its meeting October 30 and 81. Just
what Dr. Sanshury Is going to do in
regard to a meeting over his ForestHiile
track is not yet known. 1t was originally
intended that a meet at Forestville should
follow that to be held at Leonardtown-
