ture at Hayre de Grace
Track.

aaFre de grace Mo, sept. H.-Ihe
fourteenth day of the fall racing Of the
Hartford Agricultural and Breeding AS
sOciation attracted a pretty fair lot of
fields considering the fact that the meet
ing Is coming to a close, and a number
Of the stables having shipped to Laurel,
which opens on Monday.
In the opening event about as classy
a field OF maiden 2-year-olds that has
been seen this fall were gathered to-
getheT an even dozen being sent to the
post Night Owl and kits were well
played. but at the rise Of the barrier the
winner, Friendless, shot TO the front,
which position he maintained, closely ac-
eorhpanied by kits.
The second event brought together the
Butler colt, High Noon. carrying rs
pounds, FernrOCk, Eagle, Sir Edgar, Bac,
and Back Bay at six furlongs. High
Noon, who has just failed to get up in
his many starts, jumped to the front
and just lasted in the fastest six furlongs
run at this meeting, the time being
l:l2 e-S, Fernroek was second and Eagle,
with 100 pounds up, third.
A selling race for 3-year-olds and up
ward brought a bad lot to the post Of
which Orotund was much the best and
was a short priced faVorite, Piquette
was second and Ash Can third
Short Grass found a track to his liking
today, and with his customary sluggish
start trailed his field to the head OF the
stretch after a fast pace having been set
by Gnat Many thought Borrow would
dispose OF all contention so close did he
stay to the leader, but there was no
doubt OF the outcome the moment Keogh
made his move on the Herr horse, for
he won easily IN the fastest time for the
distance at this meeting. when he ne
gotiated the mile and seventy yards in
1883.

pounds, came down in front, while Bob
Redheld outgamed Brave for the place,
Freda Johnson took the track and led for
three-quarters OF the distance, when
Warscher on the winner moved UP at the
head OF the stretch and won as he pleas
ed by six lengths.
ThTee-yea--Olds and upward who had
not won at this meeting were given an
other chance, and Preston Lynn, from
the thinner barn, was returned the win
ner. thanks to the good ride of Jockey
Ball, who used unusual judgment in lay
ing on the early pace set by IIIumInator
and Borax, but gradually the winner
made up Lhs distance and came on at the
eighth pole, winning as he pleased while
Borax finished second and Illumi1ator
third Woodtair was far outclassed and
ran in the ruCk throughout the entire
journey.
