second week of the Laurel Racing Asso-
eiation's meeting was ushered in to-day.
clear, sunshiny weather. a fast track,
and an excellent card prevailed.
To-day being ladies' day, the grand
stands were thronged with the fair sex.
AS on all ladies' days long shots pre-
vailed, and the horses-luckiIy for the
ladies-with pretty names came home
first under the wire with nice long prices
attached to them.
Two killings were made. Miss Jonah,
from the stable Of J. w. Hedrick. 30 TO /,
captured the third race, a selling event
at six furlongs. One well-known Wash
ingtonian had $500 on this horse strung
across the board. His winnings netted
MIN in the neighborhood of $500. On
this event the public played j. H. Hough-
ton, much-touted horse, but the nag
WAS never in the running.
Gold Cap, owned by E. r. Cooney, was
another good thing. Opening at 20 to l.
ne was quickly played down to to
!, and came home A winner by two
lengths. The wise ones cleaned up on
this race.
Favorites did not fare WELL Helen Bar
bee being the only winning favorite Of
the day
In the last event. Eidelweiss. left at
the post, ran around his field and came
away in the run home through the
stretch and won by two lengths Eidel-
weiss showed ConcIuSivelv that he was
pounds the best. Eight to one was his
closing price.
The management gave out handsome
SilE souvenir 0rOgra rammes to the ladies.
Many OF these unfamiliar with thu
horses played them as they were print
ed on the souvenir programme. Those
who did had good DAYS results. Every
race was run off exactly as per sched-
ule. there being nc waste OF time be-
tween the events.
