LARGE CROWD ON HAND
TO WITNESS GOOD CARD
chocktsw Noses Out Lone Star in Last
Event of Day.
BY GEORGE B. MORRIS.

,, baltimore, Nd. May 2s.-A large holi-
Gay crowd was on hand at Prospect
park today TO witness the running OF an
unusual card at the haif-mile course
~ may be well before writing about
the races, TO draw the attention Of the
stewards to the In and out riding of
soekey Dennler There are numerous
angles OF the racing game that the writer
admits he does not know, but he certainly
- able TO Judge when horse gets ride
and when he does not. The ride given
Maxentlus In the third race was nothing
snort OF criminal. and when the stewards
called upon Dennler to show cause for
his bad ride. they found him guilty OF
only negligence. The management of the
course are desirous OF giving their pa
irons the best racing that Is possible but
at the same time, ~ they are going to
submit TO the riding OF this particular
race, II is high time for some drastic steps
ID be taken.
Dennler, instead OF riding as any ex-
perienced Jockey should ride, threw his
hands around Maxentius' head and made
little. IL any effort to win The public
backed this horse with the utmost con-
fidence, but they were sadly mistaken in
their judgment.
General Manager James F. o'Hara,
wants clean racing and Is insistent upon
this feature. What he needs Is the CO.
operation Of the men in the judges stand
II might be well to state that Dennler's
ride on Carlone was a repetition OF his
| former efforts and the sooner some ac-
tion is taken the better the public and
the management will be rewarded.
The best race OF the day came in the
closing event, when Chocktaw lasted
long enough to nose out Lone Star,
while Tootsie dropped into the third
hole. Outside OF the features mention
ed. the racing was excellent and all
those in attendance enjoyed the sport
| immensely.
The scene shifts on Wednesday to
Marlboro. where a five-day meeting will
be held. Perhaps the best half-mile
horses that have ever performed in
these parts will contest the events. The
Chesapeake Beach Railway will run
three trains daily TO the course, and in
view of the fact that there will be no
other train service, the management of
the Chesapeake Railroad are making
| special efforts to give good service. The
run will be made in about twenty-five
minutes from the District line direct
to Marlboro. II the crowds warrant,
another train will he put in service.
The announcement OF the departure Of
the trains over this road will be pub
| lished later In addition to the races
horse show will be held and from
the way entries are coming in the best
horses in Virginia. Maryland, New Jer-
sey, and New York will participate in
| the same.
Seven races will be run daily. The
first race starts at 2:3O o'clock and the
last race going to the post at $3.50
o'clock, thus getting patrons back to
Washington in time for dinner.
