ing Dash to BeamOur
BY c. w, SWAN,

Laurel, Nd, Oct Go. Tell Us, ably
ridden by Burlingame. defeated a good
field, the best which has gone TO the
post during the present meeting, in the
handicap, the feature event on the card
at Laurel today. Go Tell Us finished
strong. with Carl a swell second.
Among the starters were Superintend-
| ent, Flittergold, Tranid, Undaunted, and
others, but the champion British Column
bia colt was too strong. Tranid kept the
field thirteen minutes at the barrier, as
he was very restless, and this had tell
ing effect on Superintendent, who was
heavily played in the ring
Carl, carrying about 81 pounds, with
Johnny McTaggart in the saddle, was
of in front and maintained the lead un-
til rounding into the stretch, when Go
Tell Us closed up. Superintendent also
came a-rushing, but Go Tell Us was the
better Of the trio and finished a head in
front of Carl.
J. McTREgnrt Pilots Winner.
Johnny McTaggart was again the Win
ming jockey of the day, plotting home
two winners and as many seconds. This

plan as Belamour, his first winner, paid
