and the sport was excellent. The
first race on the card was a three-rninute
trot for county horses. The event un-
covered one of the most remarkable three
year-old PAGERS ever bred in st. Mary
County. He had not been on a track but
few times in his workouts, and had
never before faced the starter. But once
did he leave his stride during the three
heats paced and trotted. and came i'm
mediately back to his stride when ordered
to do SO by Thomas.
He is a medium-sized stallion colt,
strongly made in every. part. attends
strictly to his business, and races as II he
had been on the big rings for some sea-
sons. He is owned by William (''Buck)
Waters, of Leonardtown, who has been
too busy to give the colt all that was
coming to him in the way of work. The
youngster was superbly driven by Frank
Thomas. The rare Judgment and skill he
displayed drew forth the loudest enco-
miums and filled the colts owners cup Of
joy to overf1owing on account Of his
splendid promise. He took the persuader
like an old campaigner.
Another horse that attracted general
attention and admiration in the race was
Lord Bingen, that grandly bred son Of
Bingen, 2:06 IA, and whose dam is high
ly bred daughter of Allerton, 2:09 IA.
Lord Bingen had just emerged from a
heavy stud season and was poorly pre-
pared for feats of speed and endurance
or the power to carry the latter. In the
third heat he was sent of on break,
and was nearly a distance out from his
field; but he made up his ground in a
whirlwind finish. trotting one quarter in
much better than a 2:3O gait, and win
ming his race. Lord Bingen is very
highly finished cherry bay, 1873, and is a
replica of his illustrious sire, whose fame
has gone to the furthermost parts OF the
earth through the wonderful deeds OF his
son, Uhlan. 1:5S 3-4. The three-year-old
Duplex Cozine, Lord Bingen's principal
contender. is by Don Cozine, 2:1O. and
his dam, Louise Hal, by Duplex, 2:17:
second dam. Nannette. by Brown Hal,
2:12. Grace Russell. notwithstanding her
strenuous miles the day previous, was
good third IT. each heat, and showed that
she is game mare.
The 2:30 trot and pace brought to the
score such v-ell-known horses as. Prince
George. Frank T, Boski, Axis. and Jen-
ME Blue. and the field lifted the crowd
to its feet. With Axis at the pole, they
were soon away, with Jennie Blue max
ing the bay son of Axis step to his limit
to keep his place. The first quarter was
for thirty-one seconds, which demon
strated how good the leaders were, and
the second and third first quarters were
equally as fast. Boski, Frank T, and
Prince George were punched. On the
backstretch Dougherty was sending
Frank T. along and he was pacing some
in third place, with Boski at his wheel.
Second time round, on the far turn. COM
ing into the stretch, Miller, blinded by
the dust, collided with Frank It's sulky,
ran over the top of his wheel and spilled
Dougherty on the track. The last named
rolled into the inield just in time to es-
cape the hoofs of Prince George, who
was trotting at whirlwind gait.
! Axis won the heat, with Jennie Blue
only a sulky length behind. Boski was
third, Prince George fourth, and Frank
T. was running masterless with his sulky
around the track, but halted after pass
ing the first turn. Frank T. was placed
and paced the two following heats as II
nothing had happened. but Axis had an
| air-tight cinch on his end of the purse,
and Jennie Blue got second money, and
the two dished up a great performance.
| Axis was slightly lame, but he was game
|
paced as good race as he ever did in
his life, The sport of the day was con-
| cluded with a running race, half-mile
| heats, in which Sly Lynch turned up win
ner in 0:51 seconds. Forest King second,
and Forest Bell third
! The piece de resistance Of the third
Wednesday was a free-for-all, in which
were listed Alice NJ, Gallant Maid. and
| Tuscarora. The last named fell lame
and was drawn. Alice NJ. finished the
race up in straight heats, but the Maid
made her go some before she captured
the big end Of the purse. Another inter-
esting feature of the afternoon was a
| special race, In which were entered Jen-
ME Blue, Frank T, and Bonnie Lassie.
| The Lassie mare was a trifie touchy in
| one of her legs, and hung on as long as
she could. The Blue mare proved to be
pretty good, and so was Fred T, but he
succumbed to the daughter of Austral.
The ESQ trot and pace worked the down.
fall Of the handsome and game mare
Grace Russell. She was willing. but three
| races in succession was a trife too much
| for her, although she had speed to burn
| in spots. Buster Red rode on the trot
| throughout his three miles, and Grace
| had TO De content WIN second money. On
/ the second day Bedworth, tr., gave an
exhibition mile and covered the distance
in 2:30 fat, without being driven out, ex-
lcept at the finish. He is far from being
trotting Stallion of Maryland. and is the
/ holder Of the track record in a race, his
mark being 2:21 Ia. He Is far from being
up to concert pitch this year, as he is
just out Of a stud. Mr.. Miller sent Alice
NJ. a mile on Wednesday. and she nego-
tiated the distance in 2:26 1-2 without be-
ing extended only the last half.
