to the post in a majority OF the events
and in a couple of them uSllt finishes re-
suited.
Lawton Virgins Wins.
Six horses of the twenty-five carded
faced the barrier in the Maryland State
Fair handicap, the feature race of the
program. The club added $500 to this
stake, which made it an important fix
ture. The race furnished a stirring con-
test in which Lawtotn Virgins, in a
terrific stretch drive, managed TO beat
Lahore out a nose on the post Eddie
Dugan had the mount on the winner and
he put UP a rouslng finish, outridlng
Byrne in the final drive. The latter
nursed Lahore along in the early stages,
taking a stout pull on Rowe's horse and
waiting until well around the far turn
before making his effort. At the stretch
turn it looked like Lahore race, and
for that matter he poked his head in
front of Lawton Virgins couple OF
strides from the winning mark. Dugan
on the latter made one last desperate
drive and fairly lifted his mount first
past the judges by thes horteset of heads.
Ragman and Ell ORC fell just before
reaching the half-mile POLE but none
of the horses or nders was injured.
Byrne Rides Good Race.
Byrne showed to better advantage on
Moisant than he did on Lahore. He
put up splendid effort on Simon's FLY
and landed her a head in front of Ell
ma in the finad stride of the third race
Elma dashed into a long lead, in the
early stages and retained her advan-
tage until we'll into the homestretch
before she began to stop. Byrne pick
! ed his going with Moisant, and the
little filly responded in game fashion
and just managed to get up IN time.
