day spring meeting which passed
into memory late yesterday after
noon. Each year the Bowie Course

when he captured the featured race
of the day. the Liberty Bond HandI-
cap. Well ridden by Jockey Rodri

contender all OF the way and easily
disposed of threatened competition
from Z. 7. ZoIlicofters All Smiles
as he entered the stretch. This
race made Jockey Rodriguez the
most patriotic boy OF the meeting as
he had the honor Of bringing four.
