Eagle Runs First in
Handicap at Bowie
BY GEORGE B. MORRIS.


Bowie, Nd, Nov. 1.-THE largest
crowd of the present meeting at
| Prince Georges Park was present
today, and those who journeyed to the
course were well paid. for an excel
| lent days sport was run OF. Finishes
in several of the events were so close
that the public was at sea as to the
winner until the numbers placed on
the board. especially so when Scorpii
and Mabel Dulwebber finished noses
apart in the fifth race.
The most important number on the
program, the fourth race, the Bowie
Autumn Handicap. at one mile.
brought the classiest bunch Of horses
to the wire. Lahore was installed
the public choice. while Noureddin
was we'll supported. and the winner,
Eagle, carrying the wise money. on
to a good break, Eagle was quick to
show his heels to his field, while La
hore, who was second. was up closer
than in his other races, while Pullux
was in the third notch. These posi-
tions were maintained through the
stretch. and Eagle, cleverly ridden by
Midget Louder. was rather easy
winner by a length from Lahore at
the wire. J. ]. Lillis and Nourredin
did not show any of their former
speed and finished in the rear OF their
field.
Mrs. J. Arthur's bay flly Patience
won the initial number on the card,
beating the heavily played public
choice, Lily Orme, half a length.
while Richard Langdon was third
The latter got the worst Of the break
and could never catch the leaders.
Probably the best thing Of the day
went over in the second race when w.
T Ryan Pharaoh stood his field on
their heads. He easily disposed of
Batwa and Carl Pharaoh was good
thing today and many of the in
his victory. A well-known Washing
ton diamond broker is known to have
won several thousand dollars on
Pharaoh and Republicans victories.
c. c. Snithson's Republican showed
Improvement in the last race today when
he won the Hyattsville handicap at a
mile and a sixteenth. The Smithson
horse who, since he was claimed at
Laurel, has been running very badly,
merited in today's performance the right
to be characterized as a real race horse.
Little Nearer probably would have
beaten the winner had Fairbrother been
able to get him away from the post
All through the back stretch he was
steadily gaining on his field, and at the
end he was fighting D out with the WIN
ner With better racing luck It seems
fair to say that Little Nearer would have
won.
Naushon was well thought OF and car
ried the bulk OF the money. He dropped
in at the third notch, beaten on three
lengths.
The fifth event, a selling affair. at one
mile and twenty yards, was won by
Scorpii who beat Mabel Dulweber a
neck. Queen Sable showed the way to
the head OF the stretch by three lengths,
but faltered when called upon and fin
isned third. harrington put up corking
good finish on the Bryson horse. and
this alone was responsible for his VIC
| tory.
for each day OF the meeting. and the
first race will be run OF at La p. m
instead of 2 p. m. as heretofore.
The mutuel machines are working in
Grand order, and the public Is becoming
accustomed to the new methods In vogue
at this course.
Starter James Milton was q visitor at
the track today. Mr.. Milton will leave
for Cuba soon, where he will start dur
ing the winter racing.
Joe Marrone has purchased Ringing
from William Walker and VIII be raced
at one of the winter courses.
MANY society folk from Baltimore,
PhIla delphia and Washington were In at
tendance today, every box In the grand
stand being well filled
It was by far the largest crowd that
has assembled at the track this season,
and with good weather large crowds no
doubt will be on hand each day. Sum-
