Special Dispatch to The Star.
! BALTIMORE, May 12.-E. r. Brad
ley's Haitian rather easily accounted
for the feature event at Pimlico today.
Perfectly ridden by Haynes, he dashed
into an early lead and withstood the
challenges of Fruit Cake, who seemed
for a time formal antagonist, and the
determined rush of Al NJ. Dick, one
strongly fancied by the clubhouse con-
| tingent
| The Preakness is one of the classics
OF the American turf. and was first won
by w. T. Ryan's Effendi in 1909. when
1.3s As. held as a track &ecord until
Hampton Court took the fractions
away year later.
Edward F. Whitney's Rhine Maiden
was the Preakness winner in 1915. and
came right back today to score handily
in a free handicap that was third on the
card. The Watercress mare had good
company to beat, and gamely disposed
Of Tea Caddy and Startling in accom-
plishing the task. The Spring Juvenile
stake went to Charlie Leydecker, who
won handily from Quietude and Bonnie
Broom.
1t is doubtful If more interesting
race over the jumps has ever been wit
messed than the Hampden steeplechase,
through the field at two miles and a
half The race was not marred by
either accident or untoward incident.
Fencing perfectly, Bonnie Laddie led
from the fall of the flag to a perfect
start to the finish, and won as his
| rider pleased. Warlock, who finished
| second, will likely be heard from later.
He took his fences in stride, and
while not good enough to beat Bonnie
! Laddie just now, may be a keener
| contender with better knowledge of the
| course. The threatening weather did
i not take from a record Saturday at
| tendance. The clubhouse was thronged
| and the lawn crowded.
