The American nag will loat from the
Forestville Driving Park on "wednesday
next; the eagle win scream. and John
Bunny and other equines win do their
little turns.
We made a visit to the park yester-
day and bear witness that Doc has got
everything done to a turn for the big
matinee Wednesday afternoon. II ought
TO be a record-breaker in point Of at
tendance, for 1t is highly probable that
another meeting will not be held at the
track until Thanksgiving Day, which will
wind up racing sport in this bailiwick
for the season OF 1919
Barney Doughtery will be present on
the auspicious occasion with his voice
keyed up to high c; Billy Chambers will
be on hand with his smile and his sky
blue new suit-the very latest word in
hand-me-downs-and Frank Thomas. the
Desperate Desmond" OF the local trot-
ting turf. will also be present and con-
tribute his share to the hilarity Of the
festivities. There will be the usual
chicken dinner in the fnfeld; Doc prom
ises that much. We say Chicken" with
premeditation, Tor Doc swesrs that all
Of the nongenarian hens and roosters
we're shipped to the markets some days
ago and none but pullets that Will fall

DuvalIs motor line will leave the cor
ner OF Sixth Street and Pennsylvania
Avenue every hour. beginning at l.
o'clock, and 30 cents pays for a round
trip. II Is needless TO add that the trip
to Forestville over the new pike is the
most delightful in all this section or
country-the most invigorating. the most
beautiful, and the most romantic.
DIR. sansbury has framed a card OF
three interesting and stirring events for
Wednesday next One that should ex-
cite special local interest is consola-
ton purse for two-year-olds and under
with added money from the gate re-
ceipts. The race will be mile heats. best
two in three and. for the first time. the
public will have the opportunity to get
line on the speed and manners Of tho
youngsters that appear next month IN
The Washington Sunday Herald two
year-old stakes. The race between the
juveniles on Labor Day. at Forestviile,
was no true test Of their racing merits,
because. first, only one heat was trotted
"a half mile one. Second, two Of the
stake entrants were absent-kathleen
Dewey and Kushan, jr.
The race at ForestvilIe on Wednesday
will be a deliberate try-out Of all the
colts entered in The Washington Sunday
Herald two-year-old stake. An interest
ing factor in this try-out will be ]. Nc
Carthy's two-year-old filly, Kathleen
Dewey. daughter of Alto Dewey, 2:2o, by
Admiral Dewey. 2:O44s. and Virginia
Lass, by Danville Wilkes. The filly has

these parts, and, as she is credited with
a good deal OF speed and the power to
carry il. public curiosity has been whet-
ted to a razor edge to see her perform.
Then. again. Ryan Bros. Of this city,
are not satisfied that the verdict Of La
Dor Day was a true one as regards their
two-year-oId Alto McGregor, who fin
ished third He had only been In actual
training two weeks, and. naturally, was
as green as grass In June. Robert
Brown also thinks tIat his two-year-old
lilly, Bette Brown. Is capable Of even a
better performance than she put up La
bor Day. providing the lameness with
which she is at present afhicted does not
seriously handicap her.
Another interesting and unknown fac
tor in the two-year-old event will be

be reasonably expected Of him. Bingo,
The other two-year-old in the bunch of
stake youngsters, is, of course. carried

Labor Day. The only other colt that
will perform on Wednesday is DR.. Sans
