Laurel, Md, Oct. 26.-The best racing
Of the meeting was seen here to-day,
and three Of the fixtures at least were
of a quality to grace Saratoga pro-
gramme in midsummer. The track was
fast, the weather balmy and a crowd
was out that completely filled the spa
cious grandstand.
The feature of the afternoon was the
Georgetown, a high weight handicap at
six furlongs. In this James Buffers
three year-old High Noon was beaten
By Fl. c. Bedwel's Sir Edgar. which led
him to the finish by half length. But
High Noon was easily the best of the
field, and it was only one Of mis- many
misfortunes all through the journey
that brought his defeat. Hanson, from
the stable of Schuyler L. Parsons, for
sticking close 10 all the pace, was the
one TO race third.
Second in Importance 10 the George
town was six furlong conditions race
for -year-olds. This went TO George
Smith, the juvenile that John Sanford
recently purchased from Edward Nc
Bride for a big price. 1t was his first
start under the Sanford silks. He took
up 1913 pounds and ran the distance in
l:l2 as, the fastest race of the present
meeting.
The other important number on the
card was a mile and sixteenth han
dlcap for all ages. IL resulted in a
score for Emil Here's Irish horse Short
Grass, and il was his first score at the
meeting. The only run up of the day
came after the sixth race and when
Valiant, the winner, was boosted from
81 300 to 81 500 he was surrendered TO
Mrs. W. Vale, whose Stonehenge fn-
