MARLbORO'S FINALE
Closing Marked by Winners
That Had Been Beaten.
DUNCRAGGIN BARRED OUT
Scrap Between Manager Hill and
Owner Brannigan the
Cause.
Snecial DisnatcA TO Tho Star.

BALTIMORE, Nd, June 15.-Twenty-
five hundred persons. half Of them from
Baltimore, attended the last days rae
ing Of the Southern Maryland Fair and
Agricultural Associations spring meeting
at Marlboro today. They assembled in
the expectation OF finding a heavy going
and were disappointed. Very little rain
fell in Prince Georges county this morn
ing, and the going was very nearly fast.
The card was run pretty much as adver-
tised. the only scratch OF consequence
being Patsy Brannigan's good horse Dun
craggin, winner Of the last race OF the
Maryland United Hunts meeting at PIN
leo from a handicap at three-ouarters
of a mile, which was the principal race
of the day.
The scratching of Duncraggin was
ordered by DR.. Richard s. Hill. general
manager Of the track. without the
knowledge Of Brannigan, who wen.
straight up in the air when he heard OF It.
DR.. Hill, according to his own statement
took that method Of Furnishing Branni-
gan for a scrap In which he (Branniganl
was involved last fall on the occasion OF
the disqualification OF Duncraggtn after
a victory at the southern Maryland track:
with justice, that the nomination of Dun
craggin should not have been accepted
the day before if 1t was not intended
that he should start. Rrannigan believes
that Duncraggin would have won had he
been permitted to start. The Rockton
horse had worked brilliantly at Benning
and was in the pink of condition. BY &C
cepting the entry of Duncraggin on FRI
day the southern Maryland folk put Bran
nigan to the expense of shipping over
from Benning.
The work Of P1ckens was a prolific
source OF scandal last week. and it was
noted today that Kind Sir one of the
horses he had ridden earlier in the week.
beat most of the horses that had taken
him into camp in this race. from which
Duncraggin was scratched by order OF
the stewards.
Likewise Ell Bart, who was towroped
last Thursday, easily turned the tables
yesterday in the mile and a sixteenth and
took place money behind Warner Girls

punishment at the hands Of the stewards,
