Blackbridge Captures the Steeple-
chase-Chemulpo Almost Scores
at Long Odds.

LAUREL Nd. October 31-The win
ming OF Sam Jackson in the fourth race
at Laurel yesterday upset the dope OF
the wise men. This son OF Garry Herr
mann beat such horses as Hallenbeck's
Hedge and Eustis' Shackleton over the
mile and sixteenth route. and his price
to WIN was 10 to 1 and better on some
books. In the last sixteenth Jackson drew
away from the field without apparent ef-
fort.
The victory, Of Blaclebridse in the
steeplechase was popular among the Ia
dies. because the winner is owned by Mrs.
A. NJ. N. Singer and Is an old campaign
er. Jesuit was the odds-on favorite. but
could not stand the drive on the fiat from
the last jump to the wire. The favorite
and Lizzie Flat set all the early running,
with BlackbIidge in close pursuit.
This pair and the winner took the last
obstacle on about even terms, and Black
bridge had more speed left than either
Of the others and won by three lengths
lance In front of the favorite. The other
two entries were never In the running.
The winner was as good as to j. =.
Out Of Maiden Glass.
There were eleven two-year-olds In the
opening race and the distance was six
furlongs. The coloi ed element had tip
on Fly by Night and backed this horse
down from to 1 to show to less than 2
to l. The favorite was Mary Ann K,
who finally got out of the maiden class
by showing burst OF speed In the .ast
sixteenth and getting up to win by a
half a length back Of the place horse and
won the position by outgaming Novelist.
In the early running 1t looked as II
Syosset, q 30 to l shot, might figure In
the money. for this Hitchcock youngster
showed Iots of early speed to the far
turn. but from then on she dropped back.
Chemulpo came very near winning the
third race. which was for three-year-olds
and up at six fur.ongs. This filly had
No. post position and, although rather
slow to get started. Closed with rush
and was beaten by only nose by Seneca
III. the favorite. who raced Anavri and
Cherry Seed into submission before
reaching the far turn.
Chemulpo won the other day at 10 to
l and her price yesterday was 20. Specu-
lato:s holding tickets cashed to show
and to place. In the last furlong she
closed with a rush and would have won
in another stride. Veneta Strome ran a
good race. but weakened little in the
final dash for the bacon and finished
third, her price being to show.
Easy Ior op1n.
The fifth race was at mile and seventy
yards and Spin, the favorite. got home
drst. The horse was well ridden by~Fer-
guson. and the lad had to use some head
work In getting into a commanding posi-
ton. To begin with. Spin was carried
wide around the first turn and then was
compelled to crawl up on the outside.
In the stretch drive Spin broke through
with a rush and wore down the firing
Jim Caffrey. to win only by a head. Jim
was q forward contender al the way.
Little Ep won third place by closing a
big gap. Tick Tack was beaten by only
neck to show and the price on him
was long one. az :
There was two well played horses in
the last race over the mile and sixteenth
route. They were Blackford and Sticker
and It is probable that the former carried
the most money. Rey was as good as 2
to ! to place and this Hedrick horse
carried his share of the coin. Rey set
the early pace and Blackfo: was held
under restraint until approaching the far
turn. when he drew away and was ony
cantering at the finish. Rey came again
in the last furiong and took second
money from Manasseh by two lengths. -
