Bowie, Md, Nov. 2S.-The green and
white colOrs of the Arthur stable
were much in evidence here today
when four out Of the five entries the
stable sent to the post were returned
winners. Jockey Rodriguez truly had
something to be thankful for, as he
was in the pilot house on the four
Arthur campaigners.
While the rain kept many fans away
officials at the track stated that the
attendance was by far the largest that
has ever turned out TO witness hou-
day card.
Coming from behind in the stretch.
Slippery Elm. ably ridden by the di-
minutive Stalker, captured the honors
in the Thanksgiving Handicap at a
mile and a sixteenth. The field was
evenly punched from the start to the
backstretCh and then Stalker began to
ride his mount, with the result that
he won with something in reserve.
Dcckmate made gallant efforts in the
stretch but had to give up and went
into the place position with sunny
land third.
Charlie Leydecker led from the
OF the Ascot Purse. the third race
on the card.
While the decision was in doubt
until the finish. it was easy 10 Sc
that the Arthur horse was easily the
class of the race, although her vic
tory was not decisive. Kashimir
made game efforts in the stretch hut
to no avail. and ran in the second
position with Quietude third.
The green and white colors were
again in front in the fifth race when
Bolster led from the break and had
an easy time holding his field safe.
Bolster and Water Lady. running as
the ArthuT-FTaacis entry. finished
! first and second. respectively. with
| Prunes. the pacemaker, third. Jockey
Myers got a nasty spill in this race
when his mount. Home Sweet Home
went down in the back stretch The
boy escaped with a few minor bruises
while the horse was led, crippled,
back to his stable.
I The Arthur combination made 1t
! two in a row when his Cobalt Lass
: lasted long enough to grab nose de-
cision from DOlina. Cobalt Lass set
the pace for the entire distance and
only lasted long enough TO cross the
wire in front OF DClina, who came In
for the second money. with Irene
third.

much interference at both turns. nm
