and Maryland turfgoers witnessed the
best off-day program OF the meeting. II.
G. Bedwelrs Sir Edgar, in a finish that
brought the crowd to their feet, cap
tured the six-furlong handicap that fea-
tured the card. This victory came only
after a drive that lasted all through the
stretch, and at the end he held a scant
necks advantage over John Sanford S
Quarts. The latter was rated OF the ear
ly pace and closed with a rush when
called on. but Sir Edgar proved gamest
of the pair when II came to q drive.
Quartz ran right back to his previous
good races, as the Bedwel 3-year-old
was forced to step the distance in 1:l2
fiat to get home In front. This equaled
Pebbles. The speed of Sir Edgar and
Quartz carried them far to the fore, and
Water Lady, who earned the short end
Of the purse. was six lengths in the rear.
The days program was decided over a
lightning fest track. and this condition
resulted In the best-contested races OF
the meeting. The riding Of Jockey Mink
again featured. as this clever light
weight brought three OF his mounts home
in front. He showed excellent horseman-
ship to bring this trio first past the final
post, and but for orders to wait with
Quartz his score might have been a bet
ter one.
AS usual. the halter men had a busy
afternoon, two of the winners being
boosted, while three claims were record
ed. After G. Alexandra's Ataka defeat

Scorpii back to the stable after the 3
yea. old scored a driving victory in the
Last race.
The three claims recorded were all
made in the first race. Samuel Ross Sc
cured DR.. Gremer for $500. while Edith
Baumann went to G.. Alexandra for a
like amount. Welga was the most desir-
ed Juvenile In this race as three claims
were made for her, brit William J. An
derson proved most fortunate in the
draw.
1t was a very speedy field that faced
the barrier in the all aged handicap at
