HAvRE DE GRACE. Md, September
H.-Adams Express, the unbeaten thor
oughbred of HI. c. Hallenbeck's string
thus far at the meeting at Havre De
Grace, was forced to lower his colors
today to Guy Fisher. owned by Z. F.
Cooney. 1t was the feature event Of the
day. and at a mile and seventy yards.
AS was anticipated by some wise followe-
ers OF the game. Adams Express was
handicapped out Of the running. he car
rying $50 pounds. twelve more than Guy
moved strongly in the final drive. but
the weight was too much and he was
beaten by q length.
The race for gentleman riders attracted
q lot of attention, and the riders were
appiauded as they returned to the judges
stand to weigh in. A. Blute, on Eloro.
copped the race by length from Tommy
Wright. who was on Wolferton. Wolf
erton was on last and ran a game race
against great odds. and 1t is probable
he'd he gotten away with the field, Eloro
would have had hard time to win.
The greatest exhibition Of q horses
gameness and clever generalship on the
part Of Jockey Byrne. who brought Azo
home a winner in the night-cap. featured
the day. ON last in a field of nine
starters at a mile and seventy yards, Azo
passed each horse until he won by two
lengths from Taboo. Byrne brought Azo
through on the rail. entering the stretch
and thereafter the chestnut gelding burn
ed up the track.
Favorites had a fair day. three win
horses and the same betting odds, one
of them winning. Three first choices
went down to defeat
Jockey Turner carried of the riding
honors. bringing home three winners and
finishing thid on Coming Coon. Shilling
had a FIRST and two seconds. Schuttinger
finished In front with Sherwood and
landed two thirds.
Henry Hutchinson, a long shot gave
Oakhurst a run in the third race. Henry
set a dizzy pace and was not overtaken
until entering the stretch. when Oakhurst
and Breaker Boy moved up strongly.
However, Henry was game and nosed
out Breaker Boy in the final drive for
place.
