third day of the Laurel racing meet The
weather was much more favorable than
Yesterday, the track being in good shape,

joyed by the crowd.
The fourth race, for three-year-olds and
upward. at a mile and seventy yards, was
easily the feature, and was won by Hat
teras, from the stable of A. G. Blakely.
The public backed Tom Melton from 4
to 9 to 3, but the best he could do was to
run third. Hatteras was out to the last
ounce to stall of Kaufman, who came
from behind and would have won in an
other jump.

meet Harry Davis, who was in charge OF
the Athletics. and Davis wanted Herrell
to work out before the game. That was
impossible, owing to the short length Of

would wire for Herrell to join the team
in Philadelphia as soon as he had a con-

the daily trains each morning. A sta
BILE has been built at Laurel for the
reception of the horses from Benningr
and will be kept for that purpose. In
cluded in the number now at Benning
are those owned by W. P. Burch, who
is one of the stewards at the meeting.
The new time table of the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad was greatly appre-
ciated by the horsemen and the public
generally. The two special trains af-
ford great accommodation. while the
regular locals, at 10 a m. and 1902,
stopping at the course also add to the
convenience.
The horses owned by Woodford Clay,
including the mare Ocean Bound and the
two-year-old Buckhorn. arrived at the
course to-day. Buckhorn was laid up
at Toronto, but has gotten over the
trouble and is now in racing condition
again This horse was the best of the
two-year- -olds on the Canadian circuit
this season.
The stable of horses trained and
owned by the Burttschell Brothers now
heads the list of winners at Lau-
rel. This is due to the winning of the
first stake of the meeting by Lawton
Virgins and the victory of three other
horses. Lawton Virgins was the first
horse that John Burttschell ever owned
and was the first that ever went to the
post under his license as a trainer.
The next stake to be run at the meet
ing is the Baltimore handicap, at a dis
tance of one mile and a sixteenth, which
has attracted an original entry of forty
five. Out Of this number it is safe to
say that at least a dozen will go to the
post. The track will be in much better
condition for the running of this than
