HOURLESS IS winner
in HANDICAP Event
August BeImont's Colt Captures the
Feature Race of Getaway
Day Card.
By GEORGE B. MORRIS.


Iiavre de Grace, Sept 3O.-A cold, raw
wind blew over the Hartford County
course today. but this did not seem to
keep the attendance down, as the crowd
was typical half-noiday gathering.
The track was a trile slow, owing to
The heavy rain of yesterday, but this fact
did not keep owners from running their
horses in the Eastern Shore Handicap,
an event at six furlongs, with a value to
the winner OF about $1,000. The very best
E-year-Olds Of the year went to the post
In this number, and speculation was
brisk. August BelInont's entry. Hourless
and WoOdtrap, being the public choice,
while the Butler entry and Ticket were
well supported.
AS far as the race may be described,
It was a one horse affair Jimmy But
well, on Hourless, just galloped his mount
to victory by a half a dozen lengths,
while his stable companion was second,
a length In front Of James Buffers Visit
full The race was run in 1:14 fat, but
the Belmont colt could have lowered this
time considerably had Butweu wished
to do so. There is no question but that
the Belmont colt Is perhaps the best 2
year-Old Of the season.
There is no telling how good this colt
Is but good judges pronounce him the
best twO-year-old of the year. His fmpost
Of 1S pounds had no effect or him and
he handled It as he would feather.
Ponce De Leon. accounted for the
Initial number on the card, when he
easily took the measure OF Flare and
Melting Moments.
The SteepIechase an event over the
short course. was won by Tom Horn.
while Meshash was second, and Golden
Vale, third. Meshash who laid out Of
1t until he was hopelessIy beaten. came
with a belated rush to take the place
from the tired Golden Vale. The latter
ran at least a sixteenth OF a mile farther
than anything else in the race. and her
Jockey took her all over the course. It
was about the poorest piece Of riding
that has been witnessed in some days
In the third race Corsican upset the
beans" by running outside OF the
money. The winner turned up in Ninety
Simplex, while Little Nearer was second
and GoldCrest Boy third. Anderson again
put up a weird exhibition on Goldcrest
Boy, and no doubt this cost him the
race.
Scratches were numerous in the fifth
race, but three horses facing Starter
Milton. Anita was heavily played or the
theory that the track was heavy Sand
marsh romped home several lengths in
front of the BedweIl horse, while Peskey
was third.
stellarina and Thieseres accounted for
the balance Of the card. Summarizes
