|SANDE'S RIDING
FEATURE
Lands Three Winners at
Havre de Grace-St.
Quentin Wins.

Hayre de Grace, Nd. Sept a.
Stirring finishes rewarded the large
lumber of race enthusiasts who
thronged to Havre de Grace this af-
ternoon to witness the third day OF
the races at the popular Maryland
mile course. Airplanes from the
nearby government proving grounds
hoyered over the thronged track and
delighted the visitors with their dar-
ing antics in the air.
One of the airmen, after success
fully making a beautiful falling leaf
for several hundred feet descended
to within a few feet of the grand
stand and waved his hand at the
spectators. The crowd below stood
on their feet and Justify cheered the
daring aviator.
The sensational riding Of Sande, the
crack Western youngster who Is now
under contract to Commodore J. h. l..
Ross, accounted for three OF the
purses during the afternoon. WIN
ming hands down with st. quentin IN
the initial affair. at short odds, ne
piloted Foreground to the fore in the
fifth number and in the fourth race
he gave the best exhibition of rare
gameness, when he held Dottie Van
diveer up during the last sixteenth
and succeeded in stallng OF the de-
termined rush of Duchess Lace. He
received a great ovation upon his re-
turn to the stands and the fans are
already proclaiming him the greatest
handler in the country.
Foreground. the chestnut colt by
FugIeman and Bernia, who was I'M
ported TO this country by Commodore
Ross. from England. demonstrated to-
day what Il really great thoroughbred
he is. Previously he had expert
enced great difficulty in getting away
from the post with the others, but
today Sande had him on his toes, and
when the barrier was sprung he left
with the other starters. He quickly
took a long lead which he held safely
throughout the race. Aurum finished
second after a slow beginning, and
the tiring Tombolo lasted third.
Passing Shower. who was so well
thought of by the knowing ones that
he was installed a one TO two favor
ite in the third number. ran dull
race, and at no time exhibited any
form which warranted such heavy
backing. Dottie Nandiveer took the
lead. and, although hard pressed. man.
aged TO stay the challenge of Duchess
Lace and Ambassador Sd, two lOng
shots. who finished second and third
respectively. The second choice. Lii
liam Shaw. also finished out of the
money.
In the opening number ST. Quentin
opened up a long lead for a race OF
five furlongs and came home alone
with Tommywaac a second and Syl-
van, who was' well liked, third.
The steepleChase proved TO be n
thriller. Otto Floto. ridden by II.
Williams, barely managed TO get up
in time TO nip the fast travelling Tur-
moiI. real long shot. Turmoil led
his field for the two rounds of the
field. and in the end continued his
fast pace and gave no signs OF blow
ing up. Under great punishment Otto
Floto gradually Crept up and just
crossed the line a scant winner.
Melos. another outsider, finished in
the third hole. The summaries:
