sun BRIAR AT
LAUREL TRACK
Kilmer' S Great .3-Year-Old
in Trim for Match Race
with Roamer.

Laurel, Nd, Sept. 2o.--The arrival
OF W. Sharp Kflmer's Sun Briar,
which is accredited with having run
the fastest mile over a track with a
turn by thoroughbred. was quite an
interesting event yesterday at the
course of the Southern Maryland
Fair at Laurel Park. Sun Briar has
been brought here by Henry Nc
Daniel. trainer Of the stable OF a
Binghamton On. W millionaire, for
the express purpose OF meeting
Andrew Miller's wonderful aged geld
ing. Roamer, in a match race, which
is to be one of the special features
OF next months racing on the State
fair track.
While 1t is reported that Mr.. Kill
mer, the owner of the great son of
sundridge. recognized by many turf
experts as the greatest three-year-
Old OF the year. does not favor a
third horse in the match to take place
mere about the middle OF October,
there is every likelihood OF Com
mander J. K. L. Ross Cudgel going
to the post. II. Guy BedwelI, who
trains Cudgel and the champion two
year-old Of the year, Billy Kelly. has
challenged Sun Briar and Roamer.
Col. Matt VIM, who is to stage
next months big test, thinks favor
ably of making It a three-horse af-
talr' inasmuCh as Cudgel has proven
