The Washington herald., 1916-11-17

Bowie. Nd, Oct. 1.-THE track condi-
tions were much improved today at the
Prince George course, and as a result
seven well-contested races were run or
While there was no special feature to
the card, finishes in several of the num-
bers were of the thrilling kind and an
excellent days sport was witnessed by
the largest crowd SO far at this meeting.
The first race on the program, an af-
fair at five and a half furlongs for maid
en- 2-year-olds. was annexed by Kentucky
Boy. who made all the pace and lust
lasted long enough to stall off the rush
Of Lucius. while the favorite, Tyrant,
was third. The finish was so close in
this number that the judges could only
separate the first two horses.
Waukeag was the medium of a plunge
in the next race and went to the post
an odds-on favorite, while AIvord and
Kilkenny were both well supported. AL
word had an easy time getting home a
length In front of Waukeag and Kill
kenny.
The Busybody was the best in the third
number. when she defeated Progressive
and High Horse. Between Us, the Ia
Vor1te. finished outside of the money
The next favorite to meet his Waterloo
was Yankee Notions. who made all the
pace, but faltered right at the end, and
as a result Squeeler got up in time to
beat the Anderson horse by a length,
while 1,ohengrin was third
Jem accounted for the closing number
IN handy fashion when he defeated
Charles Francis and Fairy Legend.
The railroad service over the W., b.
& A. is about as poor as one would care
to see. AS the last race is over about
b O'Clock and darkness has set in, the
public Is compelled to grope it's way
through the darkness as there are no
lights in some of the cars and, moreover
no heat. The steps are fully two and a
half feet from the dirt walk, and in
order to get Off or on one has a good
jump in either direction.
With the rapidly increasing patronage
II seems that there should be better ac-
commodations for the public
The card offered for tomorrow is
good one. and with a nice clear day there
will be large crowd on hand.
