MARLBORO, Md, Nov. 19.-Marlboro
wound up its meeting yesterday with
seven good races, which held the atten-
tion of big Saturday crowd until the
last event was decided.
The sport was attended with the usual
vicissitudes Of getaway day and for the
most part the bookies had the better of
the argument, although one or two WELL
backed things went over.
One of the juicy things of the after
noon was Ell Bart, which, backed to
even money at post time, won the sixth
race in handy fashion. This one was
well played abroad and Walter Congdon
and his friends reaped a rich harvest.
The Baltimore sports to a man were
down on El Bart.
Tom Shaw q Winner.
Another good thing materialized in the
first race. when Tom Shaw won. This
old fellow was all "lit up and every
body seemed to have the tip that 1t
was his day. He jumped off in front
and never left the issue in doubt.
Nat Beal, who has been trying hard
all the meeting with Cashin, finally
landed in the fourth race. The Poten-
tate filly went right to the front when
the barrier rose and nothing troubled
her. Mr.. Beal had little confidence in
the filly and allowed her to run un-
backed.
Muff was something of a disappoint-
ment in the last race of the day. This
one was made an even money favorite,
but third was the best she could do.
Duke Of Bridgewater and Muff raced
themselves into the ground in the early
stages and then MontaGnie came along
and ran over them.
The Carson stable played in hard luck
during the afternoon and failed to land
a single race.
