EAGLE Wins EASILY.
First Home in Inaugural Handi-
cap at Bowie Track.
NoUREDDIN GRABS PLACE
Broom Corn and Nephthys Capture
First and Fifth Races at
Long Odds.

At Prince Georges Park, near Bowie
station, the final race meeting Of the
Maryland fall season yesterday was
opened auspiciously. It was the big
gest crowd the new track, midway be-
tween Washington and Baltimore, has
ever entertained. High-class racing
marked the opening and there was
lively speculation in the nautuels, which
were operated for the first time under
a new system.
The feature Of the racing was the
Inaugural handicap for all ages, at
seven furlongs, and eight Of the four
teen carded answered the bugle. Rob-
ert Bradley was the public choice, but
he quickly put his hackers out of all
anxiety, when he refused to leave the
post. Jockey Smyth dug his heels into
Bradley's sides in an effort to get the
horse going, but the racer wouldn't
move. Meantime Eagle was showing
the way to Sandman, with Ambrose
heading the bunch. At the first turn
Cliff Field stumbled and threw Jockey
LiIley, who was badly shaken up but
not injured, though he Cancelled his en-
gagements for the remaining races.
Eagle and Sandman drew away into a
long lead on the backstretch and they
were far'fn front at the turn for home.
Eagle came along resolutely and won
easily, but Sandman quit and sur
rendered the place to Noureddin, which
closed stoutly after he started to run.
Cliff Field, after his mishap, run away
a couple of miles before he was caught.
The sport opened with big surprise
when Broom Corn led her field home in
the colors of ]. W. Pangle. Broom Corn
paid $61.20 for a two-dollar ticket.
Again in the fifth the smart fellows got
~
row margin from Little Nearer, with
All Smiles third. Republican and Stone-
henge, the popular choices, were sound
ly beaten at the end, though both
showed some speed in the early part
Squeeler had about the easiest vic
tory Of the day next to that Of g. M.
Miller, which took the last. Both these
were strong choices.
Big fields went to the post in SOW
eral of the events, but Starter Dade
ing was free from serious crowdings
It was a good days sport and fine
opening for the popular new course.
