By GEORGE b. MORRIS.

Marlboro, Md, Nov. 15.-Bright,
sunshiny weather was the medium that
brought another large crowd out to MARI
boro track to-day. The heavy rain OF
last night left the track deep and sloppy,
| but did not deter the talent from pick
| ing the winners. Elizabeth O., in the
| first race, was the medium Of a plunge
| and admirably ridden by Charlie Grand,
never left the result in doubt, winning
| by five lengths, pulled up from Dona-
ton, who got away tangled up and lost
much ground. Hibernica, the opening
choice of the race, was a firing third
Grand came right back in the next
race. scoring with MCLaughlin's Mollie
Kearney. who had no trouble winning
handIly from Little Erne. Barrette, the
neglected choice of the race, ran poorly
and has evidently had too much racing
and was distant third. Again. in the
third race, the books were handed
solar pIexus when Carroll sizZled away
from his field and stuck 1t out to beat
the fast coming Blue Crest. on whom
Jockey Clement did the Rip Van Wrinkle
act and was caught sleeping at the post.
Bat Masterson, true to his name, was
the third man" in the ring.
The fourth event reduced by
scratches to only four starters, and w.
B. Carson gathered in his daily purse
with Nun. Though she won handiIy
enough. 1t was lucky win, for IL FL
Bart had been ridden with any degree of
intelligence by Estep. he would certainly
have made it interesting for her; as Il
was. Estep kept Ell Bart in the deep going
next to the rail behind his field receiv-
ing a drenching of flying mud until the
horse was Choked. 1t was the old story
of good horse being beaten by a stupid
ride.
Profile Away Below Form.
Profile. whose recent races in the mud
have been sparkling ran much below his
form, and finished a distant third. His
race was certainly not his best effort
Jessup Burne was Carson's second winner
OF the day. annexing the fifth race in a
mild drive from the early pacemaker
Lord Wells. Western Belle, on whom
Jockey Bergen put up a very lethargic
ride. was a fast-ClOsing third: with an
earlier effort she would undoubtedly have
won. Montagnie was the hot thing in
the last race, and the talent went to him
with a vengeance that made the poor
bookfe a weary individual Sweftzer a
new rider here. and under contract 10
w B. Burch, had the mount, and get
ting on well, laid in behind the flving
Tom Shaw to the Var stretch turn. then
cutting loose, won breezing; Our Nugget
was second and Tom Melton, In a ding
dong finish, outlasted the firing Tom
Shaw for the short end of the purse.
All in all, II was the most profitable
day Of the meeting for the public the
books getting a trOunCing that thew will |
long remember. splendid card is down
Tor decision for to-day. and with the pres
ent consistent form OF the horses IL iooks
like the books are in for another slaueh- !
ter.
