Waits Between Races.
Tedious waits between heats and
races marred the enjoyment Of the rae
ing at the fair yesterday afternoon.
Five heats were necessary to decide
the stake race for three-year-olds, which
was the first event on the program. The
Baltimore colt, Bestopper. won the first
two heats very cleverly. but began to act
badly after that and Peter j. H.. be-
longing to Javins Brothers Of Washing
ton, captured the next three heats rather
handily.
Harry Corbin's DR.. Bealle, Jr.. won
the 2.25 pace in straight heats. The
fight for second place was lively be-
tween Hal Bealle, belonging to H. c.
Fawsett Of Rockville. and the Wash
ington horse Bud D., belonging to D.
the latter gaining the verdict.
The most interesting contest Of the
day was the Montgomery county road
ster race, the horses being driven by
their owners Nine faced the starter
rick NJ, belonging to William v. Daw-
son of Forest Glen, succeeded in win
ming the long end OF the purse after
; rather hot argument with Gilbert G.
buggies, lady drivers, was also an in
teresting event. 1t was between Kis-
mar, belonging to Herbert L. Diamond.
driven by Mrs. Diamond, and Dot, be-
longing to Benton G. Ray. driven by
Miss Alice Cashell. Both heats. which
were at half q mile, were won easily
by Kismar.
A running contest at four furlongs
and repeat was captured by the Wash
ington horse Gather, owned and rid
1en by G. M Watkins. Owing to a
poor break he lost the. second heat |
cut easily disposed Of Sylvan Del in.
he deciding heat. The other running
race, a ix-furlong affair, was a farce. !
It. was won by Virginia Creeper by
something like an eighth Of mile.
