Card for Today
By GEORGE B. MORRIS.

Laurel Nd, Oct. 6.-With clear weather
and fair card. large crowd witnessed
the racing at Laurel to-day. The track
was in excellent condition and good time
was made in nearly every race.
The public Jared we'll Candidate, a
heavily played second choice, which was
as good as 4 to l in the betting, won the
hTst race from Sam Rank, a hot favorite.
The best Rank could do was to get the
place. The fields were we'll balanced. In
the fifth race seventeen horses went to
the post. Two of these lost their rider.
The winner turned up in Love Watches,
a much touted horse.
The most popular victory of the day
was that of Troy Weight. She was as
good as to l in the betting. Of to a
good start she won all the way. Wash
ingtonians cleaned up handsomely on
both Candidate and Troy Weights VIC
terry.
The track has improved 100 per cent
over that Of the opening day. The man.
agement is lending every effort TO have
one of the most popular Eastern tracks
In the country. About twenty-five layers
or odds cut in, and each one did q thriv-
ing business. Star Jasamine, a hot favor
ite, backed from to l. dumped barrel
OF money into the bookies pockets. Star
Jasamine finished in the ruck.

ing, including the Baltimore Handicap,
for three-year-olds and upward, at one
and one-siXteenth miles. This event will
send sixteen of the best horses in train
ing at this track to the post.
The Keene crack Hilarious worked a
mile in 1:43, in preparation for the $500
