nv GEORGE n. MORRIS,

Bowie. Nd, April S.-The largest
crowd of the season turned out this
afternoon and witnessed the running
of one of the best cards of the meet
ing. Weather and track conditions
were the best seen at Bowie thus far
|, and close finishes were the order Of
the day.
The bookies received a scorching
that will be long remembered. five ia
| vorites winning.
Every available inch OF the grand
stand was packed and society folk
from Washington and contiguous ter
ritory were present in large numbers.
Several good things were put over
today, one of them being Richard
Langdon. who was played by a wise
coterie OF followers at the nice odds Of
to 1. He toyed with his field the en-
tire distance and won breezing. An
other good one was Mrs. j. Phillips
Wiley, which captured the fourth mace. a
five and one-half furiong affair, from
smart lot of sprinters. Redwood
and Al. Bloch were heavily supported
and finished second and third. respec-
lively.
The longest shot Of the day came in
the third race. when r. B. Carter's
Anavri captured this event with to 1
quoted against him. Blue Jay, the favo-
| rite, was beaten a length for third money.
He was shuff1ed back at the start and
was compelled to work his way up, and
| finished strongly and would have won
with better racing luck.
The best thing of the day was slipped
over by A. G. Weston when he sent to
| the post in the second event Saint Laze-
rian. a 3-year-old brown colt, by Imp
Machicos-Golden Honey. He was away
forwardly and opened up a safe lead.
but right at the end he was doing his
best to stall Off Fair Helen. who came
with a rush in the stretch run. Penny
Rock. the favorite, heavily supported,
was third.
The first number on the program was
won by Servia. while Greetings was sec
ond and Cincinnati third. Servia carried
his field along at a fast clip and saved
| ground throughout, and drew away to a
safe lead at the end. Greetings was
much the best, but was sharply inter-
| fered with shortly after the start. She
would have Won had she not have met
with this interference. She Is a fine
looking filly. and her owner was positive
she would win before the race was won.
likewise the public.
Special arrangements are being made
by the Washington, Baltimore and An
| napolis Railroad to take care Of the
10000 or more people who are expected
| to journey out to the track tomorrow
! afternoon.
Judging by the large crowds which
have been to the track since the meeting
| opened last week, the Bowie course is
destined to become one of the most
popular in this section. The management
is deterrnined to give the patrons of the
| track every courtesy and protection due
them.
