By GEORGE b. MORRIS.

oughly good days sport at the Prince
George County track. The large
crowd Of Thanksgiving Day did not seem
to have fallen of much in attendance
today, fully 5000 persons being present
The weather was ideal for racing, and
coupled with this. tspirited finishes re-
suited in several of the numbers.
Plaudito, good-looking 2-year-old,
started the days winning by easily dis
posing OF his field OF maidens. He was
quick to break and led from start to fin
ish, and at the same time breaking the
track record by lis seconds
The second number on the card was
won handily by E. f. Peck's Jim Basey,
who paid s. to 81. Old Monty Fox
was second and Linda Payne third. The
Busybody was a heavy favorite. but
failed TO show in the money and finished
In the rear.
Just TO keep up the winning OF long
shots. Meelicka came right back in the
next number and won at a similar price
He beat Sempsillo and Gold Cap. There
was plunge on the winner at the last
moment.
The feature on the program. the Ran
cocas handicap. was easy for Favour.
who won her last start. She likewise
was at a long price. Candle. who ran
poor race on his last start was close
up today. and ran an excellent race
lie choice got the third money.
A poor lot paraded to the post in the
fifth number. Jacket and Casaba were
about even choices. As the barrier was
sprung. Jacket stumbled and threw
Schuttinger. After this II was easy all
the way for Casaba. Bluemouse was
second and Front Royal third.
P. J. Miles slipped Sigma Alpha over
in the following number at 81 to 81.
While ne odds on Lilly Orfr1e
was second and Perthrock third.
The last event OF the afternoons
card. a'selling AFFAIR. at a mile and a
sixteenth. went to King Box. while
Burwood was second and Scorpii third.
With better racing luck and a different
boy upon the latter Scorpii would have
probably scored. Schammerhorn was of
no use at all to the horse, and he got
third on his own courage.
Scorpii was taken back right after
the break. and at the half-mile pole
was twenty lengths behind his field. He
steadily improved his position and at
the finish was only beaten little over
8 length and half.
DR.. J. s Tyree. the we'll known and
popular Washington sportsman. will ship
a division OF his stable to New Orleans
next week. They will be in charge Of
DR.. Larrick. DR.. Tyree has purchased a
weanling from the same dam as King
Neptune 1t is said to be one of the finest
weanlings seen In these parts for a long
time.
Joseph NJ. Murphy. presiding Judge at
Bowie, and manager of the New Orleans
track stated today that there are over
80 horses already at the course. and ap-
plications are arriving daily for accom-
modations. Mr.. Murphy is Jubilant over
the prospects of the meeting and says
that in his opinion It will be one OF the
best meetings ever held in the South.
Judge Murphy's word is iron with the
horsemen and Jockeys, and II Is a sure
thing that anything he is connected with
will be run honestly and conscientioUsiy.
The card for today is an excellent one ,
and should furnish some keen contests.
