/ 20 an immense crowd, the magnet being
the horse show and the running races.
Many classy horses were shown during
the day in the infield, and the winners in
each event will be announced tomorrow.
society 1oIk turned out in large num-
oers' and all in al II was a representa-
tive gathering
There was six running races also on
the card and in nearly every event thew
were closely contested
Inc feature race on the program. the
NTH number, an affair at a mile and a
sixteenth was won by G. c. Brenton'
Little England, while Fred johnson was
second and Southern Gold, third. Freda
Johnson set an early pace closely
followed by Little England and Southern
Gold. They ran in this position until the
stretch turn was reached where the Bren-
ton gelding came on to win rather
handily.
Sally Boots won the initial event In a
canter from So Eze and Curls. At no
stage of the race was the Utterbac TX
MY IN danger and she won as her rider
pleased
The last event on the card. a race at
five and half furlongs was a race all
the way through the stretch. Recluse
after setting a fast clip for the first mile
slowed up bit and Goodward was COM
ing on with a rush, and right at the end
RecIuse Won by a scant nose, while Good
wood was second and Suregot third.
Goodwood was catching the winner
at every jump and had it been ten
yards more he surely would have
won as the winner was tiring badly
all through the stretch, but she had
opened up such a big lead that it was
impossible to catch her.
Scrapper. after many trials, made
good today and easily disposed of
Front Royal and Jack Hanover in the
fourth race.
The card offered for today is a good
one and no doubt will attract a large
crowd.
The horse show will continue
throughout the week and many of the
best show horses in these parts are
taking part in the event.
The Chesapeake Beach road will
continue their IL o'clock and 1:40
trains to the course, where the track
