in HANDICAP Event
Harry Payne Whitney's Entry Easily
Lands Prince George Stake
at Laurel Track.
By GEORGE b. MORRIS,

Laurel Md, Oct. 21-A banner crowd
and an excellent afternoons sport was
furnished today by the Maryland State
Fair. and. while favorites did not average
up very well, long shot horses were in
evidence, and in nearly every instance
they were well played.
To start tho afternoons racing, Song
of the Valley, at so to 1. just romped
home In front of Buzz Around. This
started the crowd of in an excellent
mood. as most OF the fair sex had a bet
on this horse.
Then came the jumping race, which saw
another long shot come home. This event
was over the short course, about two
miles, and Quel Bonheur, an imported
horse, was the victor Norwood another
outsider, was second, and Sun King, the
favorite, was third. Lazuli was played
for good thing in this race, and might
have won had he not made two bad land
ings. which cost him several lengths and
took all the run out OF him.
Johnny McTagsart had q narrow escape
from serious injury in the third race
when Daddy Long Legs, while turning for
home, stumbled and went on his knees
McTaggart went over the horses head and
sustained an ugly cut over his right eye
For a moment It looked as though Nc
Taggart had been seriously injured, but
n
where physicians attending him stated
that his injuries were not OF a serious
nature. McTaggart cancelled all his en-
gagements for the balance of the day, and
will be seen in the saddle next week.
Ed. Roche was the victor in this num-
Der, getting by the wire by a short mar
gin In front of Gloomy Gus and Brooklyn
The feature number. the Prince George
Handicap at one mile, was easy for
Harry paVpa WhifpatEa l..
trailed J. ]. Lillis, the pacemaker. until
the turn for home was made, where he
drew away into a commanding lead and
was only galloping at the finish to win
In ridiculously easy fashion. The race
was worth H,795 to the winner.
