According to report recently received
from Secretary Forrest, only three own

and disabilities OF various kinds. The
third payment, SIS. fell due August l.

Harvest Hall, was badly injured in a
runaway some weeks ago but within the
last week he has been going sound. and
the doctor now wants permission from
the paid.up colt owners to let him start.
At this hour of writing. it Is impossible
to say what the verdict will be. Neither
the doctor nor his colt are to be blamed
for the lapse OF payment. as per condi-
tions but, legally, DIR. Sansbury and Har-
vest Hall have forfeited. We hope. how

As Secretary Forrest has said nothing
to the contrary. We assume he has not

away accident at Prospect Park two
months ago. was, from latest accounts,
jogging sound. Robert Browns filly,
Bette Brown. is being jogged every fair
day. Mr.. Brown has met all of his pay
ments. and IL is not improbable the
filly will be brought to the post. OF the
others, with the single exception of
Bingo, we are not so well informed.
DR.. Sansbury is going steadily forward
| with his plans for his horse and colt
| show and race meeting on Labor Day.
His prize list and race card will go into
the hands of the printer some day this
week. The doctor appreciates that he
will play against a strong attraction at
Benning on Labor Day: but he is relying
| on the loyalty of the horse fans of the
: District. and of Southern Maryland. The
doctor is assured in advance that there
will be no lack of racing material, nor a
| lack of horse and colt entries for his
show. He will be in person at the Coles
| vile horse and colt show August Is. and.
also. at the Rockville Fair that follows.

the Forestville track and form a coun-

District will also be consulted. II the

the design of Mr.. McCaully to promote
the erection of an up-to-date clubhouse,
