GOOD DAY FOR FAvORITES

LAUREL, Nd October 15.-After losing
to Belmont's Stromboii Friday, Gotelus, a
crack youngster from the west, got sweet
revenge by taking the measure of Bel
monts Flittergold in the two-year-old
handicap at five and a half furlongS, yes
terday at Laurel. Surprising was third,
Flittergold. the favorite, shouldered an
impost of III pounds, and his rival for the
purse and the second choice, Gotelus, five
more F1ittergold went out to set the
pace, and he did nobly at that, for he
opened gap of a length or more by the
time the home stretch was reached.
When victory seemed almost certain for
the Belmont colt, Jockey Burlingame, on
Gotelus, urged his mount on at the fur
long pole, and the puny looking youngster
responded with fine courage. Each leap
he made cut down the distance of the
leader and in the last seventy yards
Gotelus got up in time to win going away.
Gotelus has been performing most con-
sistenNy since his arrival In Maryland.
After winning his first race at Havre de
Grace the Gray youngster has led the
field every time out except when beaten
by Stromboli. And in that race he made
way.
Favorites Do Well.

won the second third, fifth and sixth
events, the second choices carrying off the
first and fourth. Only one favorite was
odds-on, and that was old Donald Mac
Donald in the fifth.
The boosters were on the job again.
and as; result two of the winners were
run up. The first was Donald Mac
Donald. who was entered for S1,9OO
1Smithson ran him up to $500. and he
was retained by the owner. Compliment
looked pretty good to Sam Louis and j..
w. Hedrick. after winning the c.osing
event. He was entered for $780, and
Louis bid him to 500. when Hedrick
carried him to $1,000. He was retained.
A bunch of maiden youngsters went to
the five and half furlong post in the
first race. and it resulted in a victory
for John p. Nixon, the second CHOICE

and outgamed Capt Ben to place by a
nose Recession, the favorite, ran sixth.
In this race Helen NJ. fell at the three
eighth pole and Jared her mount. Jockey

twisted.
After making number of starts at
Havre de Grace and Laurel, DIR. r. l..
Swarenger came home in front in the
running of the second event, which was
at II mile and seventy yards. The Doc
turn and he kept there until the wire was
reached, although he~sprobably would
have been beaten had Ardelon, who
finished nose back of him., not gone
to his knees at the first turn. Lord Elan
closed with n rush and was third.
First False Start.
The first false start OF the season hap
pened in the third race. After lining up
ut the six-furlong pole again the barrier
behaved, and Trifier. the fayorite. shot
into long lead by the time the turn was
reached. She won pulled up by length
and q half from Honey Bee. with Deduc-
ton showing.
Rolling Stone surprised the wise ones
by running a better race than they had
expected in the fifth event, which was at
a mile. Stone set out TO make the pace,
with Donald Macdonald close in pursuit.
However Donald went to the front on the
far turn and won by nearly dozen
lengths from Stone. kate IL. hnls7ed
with a belated rush and was an easy
third.

company in the closing race, which was
, at mile and seventy yards de Went TO
the front on the backstretch and did not
leave any doubt as to the ultimate result
during the rest of the trip. Key was
