Lieut.. RockWeIYs Horse Easy
Winner at Marlboro.
LARGEST ATTENDANCE EVER
Jack Phillips Saddled Three Winners
in Naughty Lad, Swarts Hill
and Haldeman.

The Military race, In which officers Of
the United States Army and Navy had
the mounts, was the feature event run
off at the Marlboro track yesterday after
noon. 1t was responsible for a record
breaking crowd making the trip from
Washington and Baltimore to the half
mile course and it made up the largest
attendance that has ever seen a days
racing there. Lieut.. Rockwell, who was
represented in the race by Handwriting.
carried off the honors. as he rode the
horse and by doing so not only secured
the purse in the race but the handsome
silver loving cup that went to the rider
of the winner, as well.
OF the nine horses that had been sent
out as probable starters, there were only
two Of them that did not face Starter
Murray, and they were Goldwick and
Mason. and it is said that an attack Of
catarrhal fever was responsibale for them
being withdrawn. Nearly every horse
in the race had following. although the

into the lead. and at no time during
the running was he ever headed. Lieut..
Rockwell had him under a stout pull
all the way, yet Handwriting seemed
to be so much the best that he had no
difficulty in opening up a gap and in
creasing 1t all the way SO that when
the finish was reached he was the
winner by twelve lengths. Hannah
Louise always held the balance safe,
as she was the runner-up to Hand
running all the way. and at the end
beat Gilbert out by three lengths for
the second portion of the purse.

were given an ovation when they re-
