Havre de Grace, Mo, Sept. 21.-Slip-
shod carried the red and green silks
Of L. S. Thompson first rast the win
ming post in the running of the East
en Shore Handicap here to-day, and
added another TO the long string OF
victories Tor the two year-olds from
BrooKdale Farm.
The Cood-looking son 4 Burgomas
ter Slippers won handily, too, from
as smart a field OF youngsters as has
gone TO the post so far this meeting.
h. McBride's George Smith, which
made quite name for himself at the
spring meetings in Maryland, and later
in Canada, disappointed sadly. After
some crowding on .he backstretch he
failed to give OF his best when But
well called upon him and finished
sixth. Pesky, stablemate and cast
off from the Whitney string, in a
measure saved the honor of the stable
by getting home third, half length
behind J. ). Tyree's King Neptune.
Ten horses went to the post in the
Eastern Shore, with two added starters
Success and Lily Heavens. King
Neptune broke on his toes and Turner
rushed him out into big lead on
the backstretch, with Pesky leading
the others. Slipshod, slower to get
going, was well handled by Tommy
McTaggart, who worked him into a
contcnding position at the head of the
stretch and brought him away to win
easily by three lengths.
The crowd was treated TO more
thrills than usual in the chase. Rock
FISH, after leading his field from tho
fall of the flag. fell at the last jump,
aud il looked from the stand as though
the horse and his rider, Haynes. were
killed. for Rockfsh turned somer-
sault and landed on his back, while
the jockey, stunned by the fall, es-
capped the hoofs Of Grey Leg by a
miracle. Both horse and rider, how
ever. were none the worse for their
tumbling act. Grey Leg, easily best
after Top Hat ran out, won handily
enough, with Agon second and Avia-
tor third.
Tommy McTaggart, who went fish
ing on Sunday and took on so much
weight that he could not ride yester-
dav. made up for lost time with three
winning mounts.
In addition TO Slipshod, he won with
X. O. Egan's Kenworthy in the first
race of the day and with Borgo in
the one-mile and seventy-yard selling
race for three-year-old and upward
Maifou closed a deal of ground IN
a whirlwind finish in the last race
that had the crowd cheering like mad
and won by a scant head from August
Belmont's High Horse and SeTia,
which earlier in the day was the pad
dock tin, and ran TO expectations LOT
about FIVE furlongs.
