Will Mark Program of
Seven Events.

LAUREL. Md, Oct. S.-Laurel has
seven races on its card this afternoon,
with the American Juvenile Stake for
/ two-year-olds and a selling steeple-
chase for features.
The fields again are large and we'll
matched, and will afford room for care
full study by those who follow form.
The first event, for two-year-olds,
brings out a field of fifteen rather ordi-
nary youngsters and is more than espe-
cially open. Wildweed might win right
over again here, with Hamilton a good
place horse.
Steeplechase Favorite.
Enniskillen looks good in the steeple-
chase, with Duffield and Rosshamp pton
the contenders.
For the third race Lochiel stands out.
Marjorie A. may run into the place.
Isidora may carry OF the stake with
PLANT and Moisant the contenders.
Star Charter should win the fifth race.
with Cliff Edge in the place.
All Red and King Avondale will go
well in the sixth race.
Blacktord and Sager may have the
last race of the day between them.

two incidents which made things lively
for the crowd.
Quite breeze of excitement was

into the stretch he crowded lima on

hearing the evidence of the patrol Judge

Joe Kenyon and placed lima first.
Romp Breaks Down.
Another rather sensational incident
happened In the fifth race, when Romp
after looking a winner in the stretch
broke down. This one was out for a
killing. When lined up at the barrier
the gelding broke through the webbing
and ran away nearly quarter of q
mile before Burns got control Of him

price against the f1lly, the wise fellows

colored boy from Fatty Anderson
