Fast Sprint.
BO0KIES ARE HARD HIT
Five Favorites and Wel-played Second
Choices Reward the
Backers.

Of six races. and sunny skies were the
magnet which drew another bumper
crowd to Marlboro yesterday. Nor did
the fair sex and talent have occasion
to regret the Southern Maryland Fair
Associations first invitation day. for
when Judge p. A. Brady declared the
final event ofhciaI FIVE well-played ia
vorites and second choices had ac-
counted for the days card.
The fourth event. at six and a half
furlongs, proved the feature. and was
captured by the well-played Semi
Quaver, with Jockey Jackson hustling
his mount all the way and making no
mistakes. The consistent Lord Wells
was the actual choice at all times, but
met with interference and was unable
TO show his best. Semi-Quaver, open
ing at 3's, and as high as 81 at one
stage of the betting. finally went to
the post the best played starter in the
field. closing at to 1. Incision. a
winner on the opening day. also came
In for considerable support, but was
unable to do better than third. Halde-
man coming with rush at the end
and securing the place.
In the opening scramble the baby
racers put up an interesting struggle.
and Old Jordan, coupled with Trans
ciria as the Davy entry, made amends
for his defeat by Rummage on the oc-
casion of their former meeting by win
ming easily at tine finish. Rummage,
with the alert Pickens In the saddle.
had no excuses, for he was off on his
toes. but logged 1t badly in the Anal
furlong. DR.. j. s. Tyrees Littlest
Rebel. on the strength Of some fast
work. was a well-played starter. and
finished second. He should show an
improved performance In his next start.
Carroll IL Beaten.
Bryn's victory over the even-noney
favorite, Carroll. in the second race. was
the only breathing spell afforded the
books. as the winner was practically
neglected in the betting. Carroll and Boss
being played to the exclusion OF the
others. The favorite led by a wide mar
gin until the last fifty yards. when Bryn.
always close to the pace, made his bid
and was going away at the finish. The
winner was ridden by Sterling, who also
scored on, Thursday with Racing Bell,
another lohg-shot.
Fasces, at IL to 5, the favorite, and st.
Avona. at 3 to !. second choice. was the
way the market predicted the finish of
the third race. and that's just the way
the books paid of. The two choices al
ways had the race between them and
Jockey Hanover celebrated his third
mount Of the meeting. This boy
is in good form just now and has a large
following.
In the fifth race, another four and one. |

by almost two lengths. Her victory !
seemed to bring much joy to the femin- |
Inc rooters, judging from the applause |
which greeted the mares return to the /
stand.
Tony w. a Winner.
Galinda was the medium with which
the supposed wise ones were to win a
lice wager in the closing event. but |
Tony W., the natural form Of the race,
had no trouble in disposing of his op-
position. He was always a well-played
starter and after Galinda had Set the pace
or half a mile only galloped the rest Of
he way. The closing price. 5 to 2,
seemed a liberal quotation on his last
performance. 1t was a sad day for the
,ooks and the formful racing to date,
should be an important factor in bring
ng out an even larger attendance to-
lay than heretofore.
