FAVORITES DEFEATED
IN RACES AT BOWIE
Seven Long Shots Romp in First.
Talent Handed Jolt.
BY GEORGE B. MORRIS.

Bowie, Nov. 2S.-Seven favorites in as
many races were downcd at Bowie yes
terday by an unprecedented onslaught
of 'Iong-shots" which swept before them
tidal wave of disappointed hackers re-
sulting in what might be termed "a
disasterous day for the talent
The Eclipse Handicap, a lightweight
handicap for 2-years-old and upward was
the feature of the days racing. Marse
Henry and Hauberk declined the issue.
but the excellent field went to the post
the winner resulting in w. ]. Anderson's
Yankee Notions, which won quite handi-
ly from Kewessa and the 2-year-old Fruit
Cake.
Al Hudson seems to have found his rae
ing legs, for he had little trouble in
defeating his opposition in the first race.
Another jolt was handed the sport
loving public in the second race. when
kits found the way to the wire on the
beg end, leaving as trailers, Napoleon
and Cherry Ripe. saddled with the bulk
of the public confidence and coin. Num-
ber three took place in next race, as
Lynn romped home at a good price with
the majority of the "sure thing play
ers on the wrong end.
Yankee Notions dealt them another
solar plexus. You might forgive four
Juicy outsiders romping down in front
but hardly the fifth, but such proved the
case, for Baby Lynch was the winner
of the next event, while the G. p, threw
up their hands dispairingly.
Sir William Johnson proved a real life
saver in the final event, although he
paid a good price with the majority
favoring his chances. The summaries:
