LAUREL, Md, October 20.-A big
crowd that defied the Indictment weather
to be present at this afternoons races
enjoyed some of the best sport seen
here since the meeting began. despite
an extremely heavy track. which was
half water and half mud. The going
just suited Surprising in the Annapolis
Juvenile stakes. and Flying Fairy in the
all-age handicap. for both of them were
easy winners.
The feature of the afternoons sport
was the Annapolis Juvenile stakes. 1t
was one of the best fields that have faced
the barrier in a two-year-old event
since the meeting began. and it was UNI
fortunate that the track could not have
been In better condition.
Surprising and Stromboi were equal
choices, and both were well played, as
were most of the others. Jimmy Milton
caught the bunch In a good line and
sent the field of to good start. with
Surprising first. Gotelus second and
Car Michael third. Stromboli was in
front at the far turn, with Surprising
second and Car Michael third. The lat

FLYING Fairy proved that she is one
Of the best three-year -old FLIES in the
country. as she won the all-age handi-
cap at mile and an eighth. In which
she conceded chunks of weight to such
Rood mudders as Bob r. and older
horses. and led them from start to fin
ish. 1t was a very popular victory. the
Cassatt entry being well played. She
set the pace all the way. and was never
threatened. although firing at the end.
Bob r.. favored by the going. closed a
big gap i'm the stretch. and was gaining
on the leader at every stride.
The steeplechase was one of the
prettiest seen at the course. Navarro
proved to be much the best of the lot
over the first turn of the field, but
when Heating let him down he drew
away with ease and was at home on

lengths in front of the others.
The undermining proclivities of De-
duction were shown in the first event
In which he beat some very good mud
ders over the six-furlonE course. after
trailing behind Joe knight to the mid
die of the stretch. at which point he
was given his head and won easily by
three lengths.
Polly H. was a real good thing in
the Nth. Though off next to last. she
finished with a great burst of speed,
winning by a length from Tom Hol-
land. A bunch of public money was
