Winner In the Six-furlong
Race, Feature Of Laurel
Card.
BACK BAY IS SECOND
BY GEORGE b. MORRIS.

Laurel. Md. Oct. 27-Despite the
fact that rain marred what promised
overnight to be an excellent pro-
gram. the racing at the local course
today was fairly interesting, though
Withdrawals In all the events were
numerous. In the. absence of a stake
feature. the six-furlong handicap,
which went to R. J. Mackenzie's
Buckhorn. was decidedly the stellar
attraction.
This six-year-old son of Broom
stick and Thirty-Third, showing re-
markable improvement over his re-
cent races. ran over his opponents
when called on. His victory was a
great surprise to the large crowd

Back Bay was the one to take the
place. after setting the pace for the
greater part Of the journey. while F.
Mannix's Superintendent was just up
in time to earn the decision for the
short end of the purse.
OF the fourteen overnight entrants
in this number. seven declined the
issue. because of unfavorable track
conditions. Back Bay and Yankee
Notions were the best fancied by the
public This pair dashed to the front
at the rise of the barrier and going
down the backstretch old Yankee"
was showing the way by a COM
Portable margin. Rounding. the turn
he began to tire and Back Bay moved
to the front, with Buckhorn in second
place and going very strongly on the
outside.
Buckhorn Answers Cell.
Once Strengthened away for the final
run down the stretch Byrne hit Buck
horn several times with the whip and
under this persuasion he rapidly drew
past Back Bay. In the final sixteenth
he was going easily. Back Bay tired
very badly in tie final furlong. when
his weight told. and was driving hard
to save the place.
The opening number on the pro-
gram a six furlong condition AFFAIR for
2-year-olds. brought some good juve-
niles to the barrier. and J. G. Oxnard's
lldtko finding the heavy going much
to her liking. scored an easy victory.
Some 2-year-olds of stake caliber
faced the starter in the second race, a
ave and a half furlong dash for non
winners at the meeting. and G. Alex
andria's Tiajan scored in very COM
Portable fashion. This colt followed
the early pace set by Lorac and sped
past that firing filly in the stretch to
gain three-length decision at the
nnish, over the fast closing Lord Rock
vale.
The mile condition affair for nom
winners in 1915 promised well over
night, but was ruined by scratches.
