SEVEN EVENTS ON CARD
By CHARLES w. SWAN.

Seven well-balanced events are carded
for today, the first Of the final weeks
racing at Marlboro, and from present ir-
dications the meeting will end in a blaze
of glory.
Last week the races were witnessed by
the biggest crowds that have ever at
tended the little half-mile track. and the
races have been the best seen on circle
for some time. Veteran horsemen say
that the finishes nave been the closest
they have ever seen on a half-milc track.
The purses have been liberal at Mail
boro. and the races have been nard
fought all the way. There are quite a
few good horses at the track. and the
books have not made any killings to
speak OF to date.
Percy Chambers, the well-known local
turfman has been in the limelight at
Marlboro with Rustic Maid and Thrifty.
Rustic Maid was the medium OF a plunge
by local sports the other day who were
handsomely rewarded when the little
black mare won in a canter.
The books were hit hard when Brush
won the final event Saturday. Brush was
sent out Nas a good thing" by Snap
per" Garrison, ard was backed heavily
by Washingtonians. who likewise played
Malatina in the opening event
The Chesapeake Beach Road announce
that their special train will leave the
Marlboro track about ten minutes later
than usual SO as to bring all passengers

schedule will land the racegoers back In
Washington about $50 p. m. each day.
