Blue Nose Nationals w u Holds Practice
Havre de Grace Feature
Landed by Blue Thistle

Havre de Grace, Nd, Sept. i5.-The
three-star special-Vermont-rep his
old tricks in the feature number on the
card, the fourth race, a handicap at a
course this afternoon. Quick to break
Vermont opened up a gap of twenty
lengths before the three-quarter pole was
reached. Behind him, running neck and
peck. was Blue Thistle and Ninety Sim
pIex.
Vermont had shot his bolt when round
ing the turn for home and Blue Thistle,
who was nicely rated. caught the firing
Talbot horse and after a gruelling
stretch battle managed to win by a short
margin. Ninety Simplex was a good
third. and had his rider elected to take
the good going he surely would have
been returned the winner, as he was
catching the pair at every jump.
Wizard BedweIl began his winning
streak when he put Disturber across the
winning line at 10 to /, but he was lucky
TO win, as he only nosed Rosewater, the
red-hot fayorite, out. Rosewater was as
good as left lat-footed and made up at
least thirty lengths and in the end was
going strongly. With better racing luck
he could not have lost.
Wenonah, backed for "gob' in the last
number on the card. was a sorry-looking
AdNOllIc at Nilc uHlCn OF InS race. T1dn
| the race been run backwards he would
| have won, as he was last the entire route.
Buckshot, running in the colors OF F.
| w. Speir, was an easy winner of this
event. He paid 10 to /. and one Wash.
| ingtonian is credited with having wen
1900 on his victory. The course was a
sea Of mud, it having rained all morning
and well into the afternoon.
