Lieut. Rockwell Puts Up a
Clever Ride on Winner,
Beating Hannah Louis.
BIG CROWD SEES SPORT
Monday will Again Be Ladies Day
and Good Races Are
Carded.
BIG CROWD SEES SPORT

The largest crowd ever seen at a neigh
boring half-mile course jourreyed out to
Marlboro yesterday and witnessed the
running of six spirited events, featured
by the Army and Navy race, which
proved a hollow victory for the favorite,
Handwriting. While well-matched fields
went to the post in all of the other
events, the military race attracted the
most attention, and each OF the riders
came in for his share of the applause
when Starter Murray lined them up at
the barrier.
Hannah Louise, a VIGOROUSLY bad actor,
caused considerable delay at the post,
Tut under Maj Ortwelrs splendid horse
'manship finally got off in good order.
Lieut. Rockwell, on the winner, rode
splendid race, rating his mount clever
y all the way. Hannah Louise was al
ways second while Gilbert, ridden by
Lieut.. Patton. secured show money after
sharp drive in the stretch
Second in Importance on the days pro-
gramme was the Marlboro handicap, at
a mile and twenty yards, carded as the
fifth event. Cuttyhunk, winner of his
revious three starts, was always the
public choice, but was never able to
wrest the lead from the well-supported
Haldeman. who closed at 3 to ! and was
second choice in the betting. Cuttyhunk
running gamely, secured the place from
the fast-closing Stairs. who came with
tremendous rush at the end, and will just
about win his next out.
Sweet Owen and Polly Worth, both
AT liberal odds. captured the first two
events of the day. The balance OF the
card went to first and second choices,
thus making it another profitable day
for the public.
Grand Rides Two Winners.
nd
celebrated the occasion by winning with
two of his mounts and being placed on
Cliff Top, his only other mount of the
day. His win on Naughty Lad, in the
final event, brought into play all his
skin. Naughty Lad was off poorly, but
Grand never gave up hope and landed
his mount first at the wire by the short
est of heads.
The Chesapeake Beach Railway Com
pany was compelled TO put on two ex-
tras to take care of the immense crowd,
and promises TO retain this added serv-
tee during the remainder of the MARI
boro meeting.
The first four days of the current
meeting have been clean racing. and the
punishment melted out to Jockey Pick
