Beats Good Field at Havre de
Grace-Prim Harry Wins
at $293.8O for So.

The western wonder Cudgel. sold last
fall for $4,000. made his first appear
ance in a race this season at Havre de
Grace. in the Philadelphia handicap.
yesterday afternoon. and was beaten.
He was not in the money at the end
and horses of ordinary quality beat
him.
But his race don't go. Cudgel was
not only running out Of his distance.
but apparently he was out for a trial
and none Of the shrewd ones took him
seriously Later on when Cudgel Is
ripe he will show better. At no time
was he a contender in yesterdays race.
Cudgel looked fine. He is one of the
handsomest horses on the turf. and he
looked ready. but he had little speed.
and merely kept up with the bunch
behind the leaders.
There was another feature to the
handicap-the winning Of Hauberk-a
horse owned by Washingtonians. 1t is
said. Hauberk is a peculiar animal
Every once in a while he has remark
able flight of early speed and can go
to the front in a short race with the
best of them. Then again, he is at
tackled with the slows in the early
part of the race and doesn't get going
until near the end. Between these ex-
tremes he doesn't run at any stage.
Yesterday he had his early speed.
Peak. who seems to know Hauberk.
Whitney CASTOR went sailing along in
front. First Tea Caddy. then Startling
attempted to overtake Hauberk. but
neither could reach. Cudgel meantime
appeared content to plod along back in
the bunch. Hauberk didn't weaken. He
kept going right on to the end and
won very comfortably. covering the six
furlongs in LIP rs. the fastest race
Of the meeting. Tea Caddy was second
and Water Lady third, while Cudgel
was some distance away.
Next time. more than likely Hauberk
will not have his early speed and will
come at the finish, and then again he
may not. 1t will depend largely upon
his humor.
1t was not a good day for racing.
The weather was cold and raw, but
several thousand persons braved the
atmospheric conditions and the poor
transportation accommodations. and
really some good sport was had.
There was almost a sensation when
Prim Harry nosed out Yodeling in the
sixth, and the crowd gasped as the
mutual board showed that he paid
$2s3s0 for a So ticket. the highest
Maryland, 1t Is said. Prim Harry was
lucky to win. for Yodeling had the
race safely tucked away when Am
brose went to sleep and let Hummer on
Prim Harry steal upon the rail and
take 1t away from him.
