Laurel. Nd. Oct 1.-With an unusual
good Monday afternoon card. six events
were run on to-day At Laurel Park. Fa-
vorites split even. three being home
first. while the remainder OF the winners
were outsiders. In the first race, a FIVE
and a half fpriong affair. Briar Path
had things his own way. He won by q
length. betting Jaris Queen. who in turn
was q neck in front of Ralph Lloyd. an
extreme outsider.
The second race, q steeplechase. over
the short course. sent an even half
dozen timber toppers'' to the post.
Shannon River was made the favorite
for the simple reason that Allen rode
him. He was never dangerous at any
stage OF the race and finished In the
ruck. Mr.. Chetard's bay galding. Prince
Hampton. proved the best. and was able
to last It out long enough to beat Lucean
by q length. while Black Bridge was
third.
The third race at six furlongs brought
an extra large field to the barrier. Rose
Queen had many supporters. but the
best she could do was to finish second
to Hoffman. who beat her q length.
CHEEKY Seed was third.
The upset Of the day came in the next
event. when Hedge, who was consid-
cred to be home" was beaten OF by
her field. 1t was no fault Of Hedge
that she did not win a. he was pocket
ed and could not get through. T. C..
McDoweli's star. Jasmine. turned up the
winner. while Sticker was second. and
Ringing was third. Hedges defeat was
the severest blow that the talent has
received in some time. az he wa looked
upon as one Of the classiest horses at
the track, and there is no doubt had he
had clear sailing the story would have
been different.
Irish Kid Wins.
the door for some days managed to
make good to-day. He beat a fair lot
Of selling pIaters in the fifth event.
The final race on the programme went
to Oakhurst, p. NJ Walkers big Chest
nut gelding. The result Of this race was
never in doubt Rey, an outsider. was
second while Springmass was third.
The crowd to-day was the largest
Monday afternoon gathering that has
assembled at the track this meeting.
On Wednesday the Anne Arundel
stakes with an added value Of $l.5Oo
will be run. This will bring' some OF
the classiest two-year-old horses at the
track to the wire. II should prove a
great contest. On Saturday the Annap-
oils Juvenile stake will also be run on.

5000 to the purse.
