vicinity, and all kinAs of nice predictions
have been made as to his future as a
race horse. Something must be radically
wrong in horse or owner
Nothing that has transpired at LaureI
during the week has demonstrated that
j. c. Mott has not the most remarkable
stable OF trotters and PAGERS that ever
sailed forth from one town in Maryland,
whether that town be small or great.
In Palm Cozine he seems to have the
very best four-year-old trotting stallion
there is to-day in all Maryland. It now
looks that whenever Mott cuts him loose
mile in 2:15 cannot stop him, and it
may well be, II Mott does not take
too much out Of him between now and
fall, that he is headed for the 2:I0 list.
The practically green Harvester, in the
Mott stable, taking into account the
chance no has had up to date, is almost
as fast as his stable mate, Palm Cozine.
However the meet at Laurel turned out
for local horse owners, good, had, or in
different, those of our fellow-citizens who
dallied with the pool box seemed to have
met with good results. Strange stories
are floating around about banquet that
took place late Wednesday evening at
Dunworth's, which feast, If all the details
related are to be believed. rivaled those
given by Lucullus in the proudest days OF
ancient Rome.
When the feast, borne by a corps Of
walters, entered the Dunworth door one
spectator of the function declared that
he thought it was corpse, instead OF
crabs and fried chicken with trimmings,
brought, it appears, from nearby res
taurant. At the head of the table, when
all were finally seated proudly sat Maui
rice Joyce, at his right Jim Mel, triflo
limp, while at the foot Of the table Cor
possibly under it, was Harry Duly. On
either flank were other well-known
sportsmen, and every mothers son of the
bunch, 1t is said. occasionally displayed
a bank roll as big as a bale of hay.
With Laurel practically OF the bill
boards, local horsemen are now antici-
pating a day OF great sport at DR.. Sans
bury's Forestville track on July 4. 4
number of local and Prince George Coun-
ty horses will be. entered, and entries are
promised from horse owners and trainers
now located at Laurel A recent visit to
the Forestville track found the doctor
hard at work experimenting improve

toned a picture machine, and all who
want to be took will be gratiied. The
doctor at a late hour decided to add to
his card a running race, purse $50, dis,
tance three-quarters of a mile. DR.. Sans
bury has selected for the meet the fol-
lowing judges, who will have entire con-
troll of the days sport and from whose
decisions there will be no appeal: ]. A.
Jones and c. ]. Claspy, Washington;
Horace Crozier. Suitand, and A. G.
Brooke, Upper Marlboro. All of the
purses in the harness events will be $50.
During the afternoon of the meet the
veteran trotter Gold Pebble will be put
up to the highest bidder.
A grief that DIR. sansbury finds hard to
dispel is that he is compelled to part
with the handsome and game trotter
Linkwood May, 2:191l. She was pur-
chased from Charles Myers, Of this city,
for $500 five years ago. She had no rec
ord when purchased and has won at Bal
timore, Hagerstown, Frederick, and
Brightwood; also at Marlboro. She has
beaten many good horses in her day, and
promises years of future usefulness on
the turf. Linkwood May was bred by
William Hall, of Marion Station, Nd, the
present home Of General Mack, and is by
Judge Case; dam by Robert McGregor,
2:1I1k. In all her many starts, while in
the hands of the doctor. she has never
once been outside Of the money.
DR.. Sansbury has also decided TO part
with his flve-year-old black mare by Don
Cozine, 2:1o. She is fast at the pace, but
has never BEEN developed for speed.
Since Palm Cozine and Russell Cozins
have made their sire famous the Cozines
are in demand.
The Laurel meet has come and gone,
and still no tidings of Red Rock, 2:1TA.
Louis Hodges is expected back from his
Boston trip the early part OF this week.
