BY L. D. SALE.

Forestville, Nd. Aug. 1o.-A good at
tendance, interesting racing. and o fair
~ fast track we're some Of the features
presented this afternoon In the second
OF the series OF matinees at the Sanr-
bury Driving Park, located in this an
Client hamlet of old Prince George
DR.. j. 7. sansbury has broken the
monotony of existence In these parts
and conferred a great boon on the horse
loving public Of Prince Seorse oy
throwing open 70 the public on satur-
day afternoons the fastest bit OF dirt
in all Maryland. with the single excep-
ton. perhaps, of the Gentiemens Drtv-
ing Park. Baltimore.
When II becomes more generally
known among horsemen that by re-.
cent arrangement the track can be
reached every hour by a regular line
OF touring cars. the Forestvtlie Driving
Park must be In the near future lioer-|
ally ratronized. The Catholics residing
IN this end Of Prince George have al
ready leased for August II the grounds
for the largest and best tournament
ever held in the county.
Big Meeting Labor Day.
On Labor Day DIR. Sansoury expects
TO give the hes. meeting ever held on
the track. The card of events will be
printed next week. and nothing will be
omitted 10 mako Labor Day long re-
inembered in the world Of sport. Trainer
William Andrews is rapidly gaining the
confidence of light-harness horsemen. no
less by his skill with the reins than
by his sentlemanly conduct, obliging
manner. and strict attention to the busi-
ness at hand.
The horses in Mr.. Andrews stables
show steady Improvement. On Thursday
last. he drove Jubilant at the trot in
2:2s l-2 in a fourth heat. Peter Ford
was given five heats, the fastest in z:5s.
last half in lis. Suniower. the Kinster
2:I4 3-+Jean I'll IA flly, he also drove
a last half in Ills with just ten days
training Prince Redwood stepped
third heat in 2:Sl, last half in l:l2. Hal
Hardin rrotted the last quarter of one
OF his miles in IS seconds, which is
pretty good for the big twc-year-old. DR..
sansbury will not say how fast he
stepped his great two-year-old. Harvest
Hall, but it is whispered that 1t was
much faster than a $50 CLIP. Charles
Garrison, of Philadelphia, through whom
DIR. Sansbury purchased the colt, has
wired the doctor that he will give him
many times more than he paid for him.
Black Patchen Fast.
The feature of to-day's events was the
form shown by D. J. McCarthy's Black
Patchen. He is about ripe enough to
pick right now, and is believed to be
equal TO a mile around PIG or 2:17. and.
perhaps, three miles at that clip. A
mile in 2:25 was jog for him to-day;
IN. fact. there was nothing in his field
TO interest him much. and he finished
as he pleased. Black Patchen leaves the
track tomorrow for Rockville, where
he arfO he dav of he fai
in the 2;20 class pace.
In the colt event, in which much inter-
est was manifested, only two heats were
.rotted. Harvest Hall won the first heat
and Hal Hardin the second, and each
colt showed high class. trotting part of
their miles as If being driven TO pole. II
was not so much the speed they showed
as the way they did it. They were not
permitted TO extend themselves overmuch,
except in the last eighth of their miles.
Both colts are entered in the Upper Marl-
boro colt stakes, which will be pulled
off at the coming Prince George County
Fair. which begins August y.
c. C Waters dead sire, kinster, 2:14 3-4,
has n very promising representative at
the trot in the bay FLY, Sunfower, which
Andrews took as a PAGER. and which turns
out to be a good gaited trotter. It was
Mr.. Waters boast that Kinster never
sired PAGER. and while the fiIly can pace,
she is fastest at the trot. She hooked
up with Peter Ford one heat, just to
show the crowd how fast she could step,
and drew their plaudits-
