No FapOriteS Win
At Laurel Track
But Winners Are Played by the Public Kennedy
Wins the Novelty Race-EI Orc
Captures Last Event.
By GEORGE B. MORRIS.

Laurel Nd, Oct 26.-A record-breaking
crowd saw seven well-contested events
pulled off, besides the novelty race, at
Laurel to-day. Favorites Jared badly, not
one winning The winners of the seven
races were heavily played, however, and
the public came away with the money.
The feature event of the day was the
novelty race, which brought three men,
two horses, two automobiles, and three
motorcycles to face the flag. AS. usual,
the men won, with to l quoted against
them The horses ruled favorite, while
the motorcycle was second choice, and
the men the outsiders. The winner of
this race turned up in the man, r. Ken
nedy. This was quite an upset, as the
public had played the motorcycles to
win. The handicap, however, was too
much for the motorcycles to overcome,
and they finished third, while the horse
was second.
Christmas Daisy. who was played for a
good thing, was noSed out at the post,
while Lochiel, in the sixth event, suffered
the same defeat. Muff, who won her last
start previous TO to-day, was quoted at
TO l in the ring. while Helen Barbee
was even money choice. Muff saved IA
lot of ground on the home turn. and just
got up in time TO win.
Outlan was also played for a good
thing in the eighth race, but he was
never a contender, and El Orc won, while
the consistent place horse, Michael An
gelo, who always runs second, got the
place and Montague third.
