.Outgames Republican In Hard
Drive Through Stretch In
Havre De Grace Feature.

Havre De Grace, Nd, Sept. 13.-Weath-
er conditions were responsible for
record-breaking crowd at the Hartford
County course today. Favorites Jared
badly and were bowled over In five of
the seven numbers.
The feature race on the card, the
fourth number. a handicap for all ages
at mile and seventy yards. brought
field of six starters to the post. Republi-
can ruled the public choice and was
heavily supported, while Success was
We'll thought of. Rae was quick to
break, and showed her heels to her COM
pany for the first three quarters, when
general closing UP occurred. In the
meanwhile Success, who had been laying
in third position, moved up to Repub-
lican.
At this stage of the race Mink on Rae
B cut across his field sharply and inter-
fered with Republican, while Success
had fallen back. All through the stretch
Republican and Rae B fought the issue
out and right at the end the latter out
gained Republican.
The foul as committed and for which
Johnny McTaggart complained OF was
palpable. but the judges saw otherwise
and elected to let the result stand as
the horses finished.
The winner paid fifteen to one, and
was played by a select few just as the
horses were parading to the post.
The next number of Importance, the
steeplechase over route of about two
miles, was an easy effort for Tom Hern,
who jumped faultlessly, although Race
Brook was coming on nicely until the
thirteenth jump, when he fell and un-
seated his rider. Meshash was second
and Agon third. The latter was badly
kicked at the post by Susan B, who also
refused to break when Starter Milton
sent the field away. As a result of
Susan BIS notorious behaviour at the
post, Henry J. Morris, representing the
National Steeplechase and Hunt Asso-
citation, ordered that the entry of this
horse shall be barred in the future.
This action practically outlaws this
horse, as she has been barred on the
! fiat several years ago.
James Butler, the New York horseman,
slipped one over in the sixth race when
Lively, a good looking chestnut colt,
easily disposed Of a fair band Of selling
platers. Golden Rod. who was looked
upon as the surest thing of the day, was
second and Night Owl third
The Philadelphia contingent put over a

when Grizzelle romped home at a long
price, easily beating Friar Naught and
