LANDS FEATURE
Burttschel's Entry Captures
Thanksgiving Handicap
from Classy Field.

Bowie, Nd, Nov. IA large crowd
turned out for the holiday at Prince
George Park track. The card was q
good one and the finishes were clsse.
The Thanksgiving Handicap for all
ages at one and one-sixteenth miles
was the feature race Of the day, and
1t was captured by Burttschell's High
land Lad. who forced all Of the pace
to win galloping. Stirling broke High
land Lad IN front, and at the first turn
his early speed enabled him to show
the way to woodtrap and Sixteen to
One. Fenmouse and Hauberk were
on slowly, but the run through the
back stretch saw King Neptune make
Q bfd. but he soon stopped.
At the head Of the stretch the win
ner was galloping and HaHberk was
closing ground under an energetic
ride. while Fenmouse was blocked
in coming on the outside, nosed out
Hauberk for the place. Highland Lad
was only galloping at the end.
Next in interest was the Sunny
South Handicap at six and one-half
furlongs, and the best sprinters at
the track were entered. Startling was
made favorite, with Water Lady the
second choice in the iron men. Jockey
Scott broke in front and set an early
pace. with Startling second and Tea
Caddy third. At the turn for home
Jockey Scott had enough, and Tea
caddy, well ridden by O'Brien, went
into the lead to win by three lengths
pulled up. The track record made by
Startling on Saturday was lowered by
four-fifths of a second In this event
, Jane Mary won the first event, with
Grayson. the favorite second, and
Simon Pure, third. The second con-
test was won by Jim Arthur's
Edith Bauman with Swift Fox driv-
ing to save the place from DR.. Char
cot.
Golden Bantam, owned by the local
sportsman, George Goodacre defeated
a well meant and well-played good
thing in the third race. Flora Finch,
Lady Little. the favorite, miserably
ridden by T. Rowan saved third
5 E. ArHngton's Brother Jonathan. Q
recent purchase won the fifth coming
from behind after N. X. Beal had set
all OF the early pace Christie was
well played, but second was the best
he could get when he passed the firing
BeaI in the home stretch. After
switching jockeys in the last race
WOodtrap. owned by D. Cunningham,
showed a form reversal when he beat
a good field of platers and equaled the
track record. Right was well placed,
but failed to run in the money.
Mooney spelled money for many as
he piloted three winners The sum-
