SPECTACULAR RACE

of Hoodoo.

BALTIMORE, May 13.-The star
feature of yesterdays racing was
probably the Owners Handicap, which
brought out some OF the speediest ami
mails at the track.
The race resulted In big upset, an
outsider. Chester Krum, winning in
handy fashion. The Niger, Plate Glass
and Firestone were the backed horses,
but Chester Krum took them all into
camp, coming from behind in the
stretch and running over the leaders In
record time for the track.
Chester krum was Hindoo on the
coast particularly over a distance of
coming East. In his two previous starts
at Pimlico he had been beaten off, and
the public generally did not give him

E. G. Moyne, the owner of Chester
