Go early and avoid the rush.
Local interest during the week was
focused on the old and reliable Mont
gomery County Fair. As an exhibit Of
products OF the farm. II Is doubtful IL
finer was ever seen in this locality. The
live stock exhibit was especially Of q
superior quality. while the side attrac-
lions were of high order. Good crowds
were In attendance each day. and the
fair managers very likely made good the
by q week of bad weather
The racing each day Of the fair was
very good There were q few instances
where drivers did not "try." probably
owing to the fact that future engage
ments and faster records were undesir-
able SO early In the season. The racing
on Wednesday drew to the fair a big
contingent from Washington. as a num-
Der OF well-known local horses were to
be IN evidence. The Bennett Farm can
didate. Beltsviile, Prince George County.
Nd. carried OF frst money IN the e:2l
trot. but II looked from the judges stand
that Corbin did not try very hard with
the Washington geldlng. Koroui. Had
he done so. the fast son of Kavalli would
very likely have headed the summary of
the event.
There is a rumor afoat that this colt
10 right now a 2:15 trotter, and that his
owner. Michael Morris. Is saving him up
for 1914 when he will be heavily staked
~ he winters well. His sire. Kavalh.
2:ofk. was the fve-year-old champion
pacing stallion Of his year His grand
sire Kremiin. aO7k. was the champion
fve-year-old trotting stallion Of 1888. On
his dams side he Is bred exactly as Is
that game and fast stallion Kushan.
Therefore. one has a right to expect
much from him. To Aionzo Corbin be-
longs the Credit Of unlocking Koroufs
speed Bred in the richest purple Of
trotting blood. Koroui was a slow begin
ner. 50 much 50 that Mr.. Morris was
inclined to pass him up early In the
present season.
Gus Morgan's bay gelding. Sfax. who
got third money In the 2:2i trot made
most excellent showing on wednes-
day. He was UP against a good field.
and his driver was an amateur who had
never before driven In a professional
race. With another race under his belt.
Sfax will make trctters of class step
on Wednesday. Bell knight. the only
other purely local candidate in the 2:2i
trot on Wednesday. showed speed in
spots, but her mouth Is bad, and this
perhaps is accountable for her bad man

taste. as the saying goes and deserves
credit for his patience and skill VOL
VERNE, the Leonardtown trotter. was as
sore as a boil and did all that could be
expected of him PiIkerton did with
him all that man could do The best
time In the race. 2:z7, was slow. but SO
was the track, which was heavy and
cuppy.
The 40 pace on Wednesday was also
OF special interest to- local racesoers.
from the fact that two Washington
horses were entered in IT'D. J. McCar-

was the Beltsville mare. Venus. entered

who did not seem to be trying. Carrie
Woodruff the winner of the race. looked
to be the class of her field easily
enough. At no time in her miles did she
appear to be in danger. although Miller.
with Won March. at the finish of the
third heat. brought sprague to a drive
to stall on, the rush of the black stall
lion, who was now very lame.
In spite OF his infrmity. Won March
paced his heats gamely. Not once did
he show the white feather. Black Patch
en- paced q good race under the circum-
stances. He Is a peculiar horse to drive,
and In putting up an amateur behind
him Mr.. Mccarthy probably lost second
money. Ryan got the black geldlng OF
badly in each of the three heats, and
had to make up a lot OF ground. Had
he have gotten even breaks with his
horse. his position In the summary Of
the event might have been better, for
no other horse in the event, except Car
RE Woodruff. had more speed than he,
and certainly no horse Is gamer or will
respond more quickly to an urgent call.
Mr.. Ryan. an excellent young man, did
the best he could with his mount. and
no man can do more. II Black Patchen
comes out or his race sound. he should
be able to reduce his record of 2:2oh at
least three seconds. as he has not been
raced to death and Is In his prime. Won
March has ringbone, and Miller win
probably lay him up for two weeks.
