Havre de Grace, Nd, Sept l6.-The
defeat of Adroit, from the stable OF
L. S. Thompson, by JEFF Livingstons
English colt Colonel Vennie in the five
furlong selling race for two-year-olds
was one Of the surprises OF the second
day Of the meeting here to-day. The
daughter of roomstick-Artful was
decidedly the choice when they went 70
the post, because of her impressive
performance al Belmont Park last week
in her first start under colors, when she
won after swerving all over the track
and was clicked at the end OF the Six
furlongs in 1:09, the fastest time for
that distance this year.
Adroit made the running for two fur
longs to-day, but Colonel Vennie, which
was always close up, slipped through
on the rail, and, racing her into sub
mission, won easily by more than two
lengths. Broomvale was fair third.
The feature of the card OF seven
races was the Mount Royal Handicap,
at six furlongs, which was won by
Matty Corbett's good FLY Coquette.
Etruscan, from the Greentree Stable,
was second, and R. T. Wilson's Hester
Prynne third.
Tommy McTaggart, who had the leg
up on Etruscan, shot the .on of Bur
gomaster away from the barrier so
swiftly that in the first furlong he had
opened up a lead Of a couple of lengths.
Coquette followed him, and II. G. Bed
wells Sir Edgar was showing the way
TO the others. Flittergold, the Belmont
entry, was off well enough, but before
the half mile post had been reached
was shut off and lost some ground.
Shortly after leaving the backstretch
Coquette, which was going along well
in hand, shook off Sir Edgar and set
sail for Etruscan.
McTaggart still had the big chestnut
clear of his company, but was hustllng
him along, for he has been known to
stop in his races. 1t was shortly after
turning into the stretch that Turner
called on Coquette and the race was
over. She went TO the pacernaker in
dozen strides, and, romping on by him,
had plenty left at the end. Etruscan,
though ali in from his early pacemak-
ing, had enough left 10 save the place
from Hester Prynne, which closed with
a fine burst Of speed.
Richard 7. Wilson's Naushon, after
being away from the races for four
years, beat big field Of selling platers,
and John Sanford's Dancer won over
a field of maidens.
Roamer, rs final preparation for
his race in the Havre de Grace Handi-
cap on Saturday, worked mile and an
eighth in 1853 to-day, and, though he
has to take up 1919 pounds in that race,
he is looked upon IS much the best.
