Special to The Washington Herald.
Laurel. Nd. Oct. 2l-To-day was q
day Of .'upsets" at Laurel Park, ant
long shots were in evidence. Favoritei
fafed badly. but one managing to ge
home first, and this was Banorella, tht
Western wizard" who has been tout
ed for a long time as a good thing.
Flying Fairy. Capt Cassat's good two.
year-old, repeated his race Of Tuesday
and won from good field He was ar
extreme outsider and managed to come
home first to-day. beating some fair
horses.
Republican was a disappointment again
to-day. Old Sir John johnson "came
back" after being defeated numerou,
times, and won to-day. 1t is quite evi'
dent that old Sir John likes the soft
goin0 as he has a bad leg.
Lad of Langdon was played for q
good thing i'm the last race, and was
badly beaten. He was never prominent
at any stage OF the journey. 1t Is evi.
dent that the Lad don't like the sof,
going as well as he used to. Troyweight
ran a good race in this event and came
home first.
Form did not count for much, as II
was anybody and everybody's races
to-day. The track was heavy and the
mud larks'' just reveled in the going
high wind was stirring toward the
close Of the last race. and IL It con-
tinues the track should be in pretty fair
condition for tomorrow. The foundation
Of this track is a good one. and 1t does
not take much to dry 1t out.
Cardin's victory to-day In the third
event was a surprise to everybody. This
outcast went begging at your own
price," and was entirely unbacked. with
the exception Of a few wise ones who
had him 'corked up" for a killing. He
went to the post at 100 to /. and in
the vernacular, brought the bacon
home" All In all. the long shots had
their inning to-day, and possibly they
may repeat tomorrow, providing the
weather does not change. With a dry
track. the public will be better able to
get a line on the ''bangtails' which is
sorely lacking at the present moment

sidering the threatening weather. The
