Bowie, Md, April 15.--There was no stake event on the card at Prince George park yesterday afternoon, but the seven over night events furnished some thrilling sport. Three of the events were won by small margins, and the results were in doubt until the official numbers were posted. Boher- Na-Breena led home a big field of juveniles in the first by neck, Tran by won the third by a few inches, and the judges said Simon Pure won the sixth by a nose.
 American, a four-year rold bay geld ing, by Dick Vel1es and Anim oslty, owned by C. R. Richards. ran away with the fifth race. He had not shown any starting form on trials but be- cause of his patriotic name he had many followers who backed him until the g mutuels paid only $8.7o on hirn.
 Well ridden by Jockey Staplcton, American scored an easy victory. Slow to begin he moved up to the pace matters quickly, and entering the home-gt>etch was in 0 commanding position, but in rounding the turn he bore out and lost several lengths. Sta pleton riChted him quickly, and he came on and passed the Judges q length ehead ot Bill Hunley. Dun- drccry was third
