Bowie, Nd, Nov. N-Summer-like
weather and a most attractive racing
card was the magnet that drew the best
Saturday crowd Of the meeting to Prince
George Park this afternoon. Long dis
lance dashes predominated with only two
six furlong sprints being offered. All
events furnished good contests and the
public choices were most successful. The
Parkview Handicap. a six furlong dash
that featured the card fell to F. E. Roses
speedy Sand Marsh, who made the pace
for the entire journey and at the end
stood on the challenges Of True as Steel
and Kewessa.
Seven good sprinters faced the starter
IN this number with p Sheridan's Back
Bay. an overwhelming public choice. Sand
Marsh was the quickest to find his rae
ing legs. as the barrier flashed upward.
and dashed to. the front closely Tapped
by Back Bay. Going down the back
stretch Sand Marsh shook of his older
opponent and drew clear OF pursuit. Back
Bay was going along easily in second po-
sition and Lilley was content to rate him
alog, while Kewessa was showing his
usual sluggishness in the early stage.
Sand Marsh raced into a comfortable lead
rounding the turn. but swinging into the
stretch, this advantage was rapidly be-
ing cut down by Back Bay. True as
Steel and Kewessa were also closing
strongly from the rear.
Back Bay Beaten.
Once well Strengthened out for the
run down the home stretch. Back Bay
for a moment menaced the flying lead
er. and then dropped back beaten. Ke-
wessa moving up strongly on the out
side, was the next to challenge sand
Marsh, but when ButweI called on the
latter for a final effort he drew away.
At the end Sand Marsh scored in
clever fashion, by a good margin. while
True as Steel was up in time to defeat
Kewessa for the place. Back Bays race
was very disappointing. as he lay In
a contending position until the home
stretch was reached, but flattened out
when called on.
Second in interest to the handicap
was the mile and seventy-yard selling
dash that concluded the program
most pleasing victory tor the WASH
fngton contingent was registered In
this event when C. c. Smithson's good
performer. Republican, led home an
excellent field of platers. This old rel
low has shown a marked liking Tor the

not until the first turn was negotiated
that he reached he front. He was
forced to race around horses to take
the lead and once in that position
ScbuttInger permitted him to gallop
along. Republican gradually increased
his advantage and swung into the nome
stretch several lengths clear OF Borgo.
The latter rapidly closed grouno on r1
leader. but in the final furlong Schut-
finger reused his mount for a nnal ei-
fort and at the end he was going

r. F. Carman's Ella Bryson furnished
he greatest upset OF the afternoon when
