At LAUREL COURSE
Lohensrin, at 20 to |, Captures Second
Race From Pre-
sumption.
By GEORGE B. MORRIS.

Laurel, Nd, Oct 1O.-An excellent
weekday card was run of at the Laurel
course today, and while the public did
not fare well in several of the numbers,
the finishes in nearly all the events were
exciting. Favorites were knocked down
in four Of the seven events, the win
ners in the second, third and fifth num-
bers paying long prices. Dohengrin, own
ed by F. Musante and paying twenty to
one, managed to get home a neck in front
or the heavily played public choice, Pre-
sumption in the second race In winning
this race many Washingtonians were
made happy. as he wac played by a
select few. Lohengrin responded gamely
% MCDermott's call and wore Presump
ton down in the last few strides, while
Linda Payne was third. 1t Is an old
custom Of LOnengrin's TO win each year
at a long price and she well rewarded
her hackers today.
Another upset followed right on the
heels Of this event when Pickwick easily
defeated Reprobate and Bondage, and in
Ctdentally also defeated Samuel Ross colt
Crank, who, by the way. was looked
upon as a sure thing Tragedy. also be-
longing to the Oneck stable, had a large
following, while the remainder Of the
field was well supported. The winner
closed full of run and easily disposed Of
the firing Reprobate in the last sixteenth.
ReprOOate went to the front rounding the
home stretch, but quit when challenged
by the winner. Bondage, who was third.
had a rough journey and probably would
have been closer up with better racing
luck Crank showed some early speed
and was showing the way as the home
stretch was run. but fell back badly
thereafter. It Is evident that the Ross
colt is not up to his early season form.
