MARLbORO'S FINALE.
Two Favorites Win in. Seven
Races Run on Muddy Track.
CbsHIN GOES OVER, 10 TO !
Ell Bart First Home in Sixth Event,
Beating Dolly Bultman Length
and a Half.

Lovers of the thoroughbreds in this
city and Baltimore had their last chance
to see their favorite sport yesterday
afternoon, as it was the sixteenth and
final day of the meeting at the Marlboro
track, and as the weather was pleasant
the crowd that witnessed the getaway
was the largest of the meeting. Because
OF the rain of Friday night the track was
deep in mud. Naturally this was against
the chances of good sport being seen, but
the crowd enjoyed the seven events that
the management had arranged for their
benefit, and as two favorites and the
same number of second choices reached
the judges eye first they had a fairly
good day of it.
There was really no special event on
the card. but about the best field of the
day spOrted silk in the sixth event.
which was at mile and a sixteenth, and
Walter Congdon furnished the winner in
FL Bart, who closed favorite. Ell Bart
raced in second pace for the first half
mile, then moved into the lead and re-
manned there, winning easily at the end
by length and a half from Dolly Built
man, who had no trouble whatever in
disposing Of Silicic for the place position.
That good old mud lark, Montagnie,
made his field look cheap in the closing
water had raced together for five fur
longs Montagnie slipped through on the
rail entering the backstretch, and in the
next sixteenth the race for first money
was decided as he drew out and in the
stretch run cinched it by increasing his
advantage. Although Duke of Bridge
water suffered by being carried out by
Muff entering the stretch, he wore her
down in the last hundred yards Of the
race and beat her out three parts of a
length.
The racing opened with dash of five
and half furlongs, in which Tom Shaw,
the favorite, was first home. Grand
hustled him to the front right after the
start and he kept him there all the way
to the finish, where he was first by six
lengths, with the place money gong to
Mason. who beat Tiny Tim two lengths.
Susan surprised many by sticking out
ond event. although Grand helped her
by overcontidence on the oddS-on choice
DR.. Barkley. Susan led by big gap
to the stretch, where she tired, but
Grand expected her to come back quick
er than she did, and as he did not ride
real hard until the last sixteenth, Susan
was able to last the distance out and
win by a neck. Lighthouse, running
a swell race. was three lengths back of
DR.. Barley.
The largest field of the day faced the
starter in the fourth race, in which
nine two-year-olds ran. and Cashin,
10-to-1 chance. spreadeagled his field,
and the farther he went the greater
became his advantage. and he won by
eight lengths from Sergeant Kirk, who
was second all the way, and beat Billy
Hanock four lengths for that position.
Boray and Drexel Hill both suffered
from interference, particularly Drexel
Hill.
Toniata, backed from to l to II to 5.
made all the running in the fifth event,
but was tired at the finish, and was all
out to beat Oakley a length and a half
Schweitzer and Hopkins each of which
rode two winners. Schweitzer rode:
Lucille r. and Montagnie, while Fair
brothers victories were gained on
Cashin and Ell Bart.
