OUTSIDER IS FIRST
in final OF CARD
Pan Maid Captures Seventh at Havre
de Grace-Malachite Wins Feature.

Havre De Grace, Md, Sept. 2l.-Four ia
Vorttes and three outsiders accounted for
the card at the Havre de Grace course
today. The jar the talent got in the clos
ing number was a solar plexus blow
when Pan Maid, paying 1s to 1. got up in
time to beat H. P. Whitney's Regina and
Anita. The race was so close that a
blanket would have covered the trio. Tea
Caddy, like Regina, was heavily played,
but Johnny McTaggart was asleep at the
post, and he was left flatfooted, and any
chance he may have had to win was lost
right at the break.
Regina was quick to break and opened
up a gap OF two lengths before six
teenth of a mile had been Travelled. She
retained this margin until the head of
the stretch was reached, where a gen
eral closing UP took place. and right at
the end Pan Maid outgamed Regina and
Anita. 1t was the heaviest betting race
Of the day, and the winner was rank"
outsider in the iron men,"
The feature of the card, the fourth
race, for mares and geldings of all ages,
brought four horses to face the flag
Malachite, who the Handicapped threw in
with 10S pounds, was made the favorite
in the betting while Fenmouse was well
supported. likewise Blue Thistle When
the barrier was sprung Malachite shot to
the front and made every post a winning
one, Blue Thistle was second, a length
in front OF Fenmouse.
Golden Rod, after many trials beat his
field home in the initial number, while
Whirling Dun was second and Deckmate
third The winner was much the best
Of his field
The following contest over the Jumps
was won by Golden Vale, about as green
jumper as ever went to the post He
had to be much the best to win, as he
went a considerable distance farther than
anything else in the race. Baybrook, who
was second, broke down going over the
last jump, but gamely finished 1t out,
while Promoter was third The latter
was poorly handled, O'Connor riding an
extremely bad race. At no stage OF the
contest until the stretch was reached did
he give his mount his head. and began
to whip only when he was badly beaten.
Fis endeavors on this horse had a ''hshy''
smell, and much adverse criticism was
heard about the ride
A band OF fifteen selling platers parad-
ed to the post in the third race, and Emil
Herz's Plumose, who has been "knocking"
at the door in his recent starts. was re-
turned tu inc winner by a length from Pres
ton Lynn, and Old Sherwood. Preston
Lynn will be we'll to remember in similar
company on his next time out
Buchanan Brady. running in blinkers
today easily took the measure of Ed
Garrison, an odds-on favorite Bootle's
Baby was second and the favorite third.
And here comes the good work Of
"Wizard"' Bedwell in the sixth race,
when he slipped Eddie T. over at a dozen
to one. 1t was a tough blow to favorite
players as Flag Day was about as hot
thing as ever came from the checkers and
rail birds. Virginia w, who was also
we'll supported, showed a flash for a mo-
ment at the head Of the stretch, but was
not good enough and dropped into the
third pocket
The card offered for tomorrow is a good
