of the day at the Laurel race course yes
terday, when he weakened badly after
getting away to a big lead. and finished
absolutely last in a field of four horses
The race over the mile was thought to be
a mere romp for the keene entry, the
odds against him figuring IL TO - at Gne
opening and never varying.
Cliff Edge, the winner. broke away third
at the barrier. but improved In the first
half mile and caught the leader. Lawton
Virgins at the far turn. Meanwhile Star
Charter, who was given a miserable show
by Starter Murray. was making faster
time than any of the other entries and
was hardly more than two lengths behind
at the finish.
Jockey Goldstein, who had the mount
on Hilarious. found the animal unruiy
was the reason for his bad showing. Clin
Edge, tho winner, ran the mile In lIS9 As,
the best made so far at the track.
The conditions under foot for the ami
mails were not as good as they might
have appeared. The ground In front OF
the grandstand especially was made very
hard by the tramp.ing of the harness
horses, which were given precedence The
last heats of the . 10 pace and the I'D
trot were held after the nrst running
race. this field suffering worse from the
hard going than any others Several or
the fields were got away in miserable
shape by Starter Murray. especially that
which may have cost Star Charter his
race.

In the very first race of the day Christi
M;
over True Blue, the favorite, that the
latter. although she ran We'll and was
thoroughly ready, could never get better
up than second position. Christmas Daisy

sprung and had little difficulty keeping
in front. FeramorZ of the Utterpack
stable also ran a much improved race and
was easily third. Promised Land. j. r.
Keene's two-year-old maiden, who has
tried and failed numerous times since
she came to Laurel. was well rated yes
terday, but failed utterly to live UP TO
expectations.
Richard Reed was Just right for a race
and upheld what was thought OF him by
beating his fed home in the third event.
Elizabeth HARDWOOD was a game second,
but was outrun in the stretch drive.
Smirk was third, her race being just as
good as she was expected TO make IT,
In the third race Dolly Bultman was
given the best ride Jockey Bell has
shown at Laurel. and she was third with
out danger Of being overtahen after the
first 800 yards. Mollie s. was well liked
to win the race. but just got second by
staving off Monta gnie. The Duke OF
Bridgewater ran disappointingly.
Easy for Glenn Beachey.
Jockey Wingfeid put over one Of the
biggest surprises of the day in the fifth
event, when Glenn Beachey. the poorest
liked OF nine entries, won handily Glenn
Beachey beat Lord Wells without much
trouble. while the latter STAYED or Rash,

running. Roebuck and kaufman were
considered, but the conditions did not
suit the latter. who likes a cuppy track.

win when he showed his sturdiest over
the mile and three-sixteenths. The race
