PENNANT RUNS FIRST
in FEATURE EVENT
Lands Philadelphia Handicap from
Classy Field at Havre de Grace.
By GEORGE B. MORRIS.


Havre de Grace, Md. April 2l-Seven
day at the Hartford County course, the
Pennsylvania Railroad alone Transporting
sixty-three carloads. The weather was
ideal for racing, and the track in grand
shape. After the running of the fourth
race, what looked real storm set in
but passed over without any damage TO
the track.
The feature race OF the day. the nth
number, the Philadelphia Handicap. at
six furlongs with s.. 500 added, was won
by H. p. Whitney's Pennant, running In
his best form. while Leochares was sec
ond and Tea Caddy third. Leochares was
slow to get going and was forced to run
around his field, while Pennant was OF to
good break. Tea Caddy. who was
quoted at over 100 to l. was close up all
the way. and at the head of the stretch
1t looked as though she might win, but
the Whitney horse was too good, and
won in handy fashion.
The defeat of Leochares in this race
was distinct shock to the talent, as
he was played on the boards, but was not
equal to the occasion, and the best horse
won
Jockey Robinson put up a Snapper
Garrison finish in the first race on Sunny
Hill, when he fairly lifted the horse
across the wire to win by the shortest Of
margins from Kildare Boy.
The balance Of the card was Of ordinary
caliber. and furnished little excitement.
1t was a history-making day for the
Hartford County course. The largest
crowd ever assembled there was present
All In all it was a good day for the tai
ent, as favorites split the card. Sum-
