BIG CROWD WITNESSES RACES

Special to The Washington Herald.
Laurel. Nd. Oct. 5.-To-day vas .
banner day for Laurel Park in the
matter OF attendance, and likewise II
was a day long TO be remembered by
those who attended and contributed to
the support OF the bookmakers. It
probably has been many moons since
the public got bumped as hard as to-
day, and yet the blanket finishes THAI
characterized several of the races
proved ample recompense for those
who returned home out OF pocket.
= The grand surprise of the day was
the win of The Manager. McDowelrs
fine chestnut colt, In the Baltimore
Handicap, at a mile and a sixteenth.
This event was worth close to $4,000
to the winner, and was taken in handy
fashion by the Kentucky horse. The
talent could see nothing In the race
but Froglegs, and 1t is doubtful IL
there was ever such a rush at Laurel
to get money down as occurred to-day.
Froglegs was quoted at even money.
less than even money, and then at 10
sand still the public fought for a
chance to bet on the Schorr entry. The
Manager. at 2 to /, and better, was all
but overlooked, and Lahore and Worth
received scant attention.
At the spring of the barrier The
Manager took the lead. and he had the
race won from the jump, although
pressed in the stretch by Lahore, who
came up In time to get the place from
the heavily played favorite.
Again in the fifth race. the public
backed its Judgment on the Hallen-
beck entry, Housemaid, rated as one
OF the best Niles on the turf-and
again the books were the winners.
Right Easy from the BedweIl stable,
had all the speed, and outgamed the
favorite in the stretch. The Rump.
quoted at 100 to 1 in the ring. took the
short end of the purse. Right Easy
paid to /.
The last race on the card-one mile and
an eighth-completed the work Of shak-
ing money from the pockets OF the pub
lie, when Hedge, heavily played fayorite,
was beaten out by Col. Ashmeade, an s
to 1 shot. Having lost on two successive
races, the talent went to Hedge with a
vengeance. On the showing made In her
last race and the weight-she carried only
ninety-eight pounds-it was figured she
could not help winning. And she was
played accordingly. At the start she got
pocketed and never got out In time to
make up the lost ground Col Ashmeade,
away on the jump, kept in front from
the first turn and won with plenty in
reserve, although the fast-going Amalh
was close to his heels when the wire
was reached. The best Hedge could do
was TO snatch the short end of the purse
from Jacquelina-
The first race started the talent on In
a good humor. Chiffon Queen, generally
picked, winning in handy fashion. with
Sixty, also well liked. second, and
Veneta Strome, the second choice, third.
In the second event Joe knight. also
the favorite. won his race, with two out
siders in the money.
pol The first upset for the talent came In
the third, when Aspirin, strongly liked
by the form players, failed to get in the
money. Pardner, quoted at to !, got
under the wire first. with o En-, a 10 to
1 shot, second, and Monsieur X, at 300 to
/, third. He paid 10 to / TO show, and
several women reaped a harvest
The crowd was the largest Of the meet
