BONDAGE TAKES
HANDICAP RACE
Mrs. James Arthur's S Cam
paigner with Richcreek
In Saddle Wins Stake.

balllmOre, Nd, May l5-CloSlng with
a great burst OF speed, Mrs. James
Arthur's Bondage. with Richcreek in
the saddle, handily defeated r. T.
Wilson's touted Corn TasseI in the
Monumental Handicap at Pimlico this
afternoon. The son of Ogden, who has
always shown liking for a heavy
track. was somewhat overlooked by
the talent and as a result he paraded
to the post with the odds at 10
against his chances.
1t was generally believed that Corn
Tassel with Ensor aboard. would mere
ly have TO gallop in front of his field
for the entire distance to win the
purse. but the weight told on Tassel
and he was driving hard at the end
TO withstand a determined challenge
from Capt PARIS Crimper. who ran
a greatly improved race. The Eop-
pin pair were never at any time
dangerous.
SmithheId Lands Jump.
Smithfield. a leaper from the stable
of Woods Stockton. finally accounted
for a purse when he took down the
Catonsyille steeplechase in fine fash
ion from a rather cheap field. Sims.
on Smithfield. was content to allow
Toppy Nix and Single Stick to set the
pace for the first round of the field.
When the eleventh fence was reached
he urged his mount and Toppy Nix
dropped back into the crowd with
Garter making a determined bid 20
wrest the lead from Old Single Stick.
who showed a flash of his old-time
form. The latter disposed of Garter
but had little left in reserve 20 meet
the burst of sped shown by Smith
field. The latter. it will be remem-
bered. was well up in the running of
the Manly Memorial last fall, and
had several creditabls perform
his credit, although never A victor in
a chase.
KiIts I'd Wins Easily.
A couple of platers were carded for
the Roland Park Handicap. which was
annexed by Billy divers kits II. al
most without effort. WaUkeag, a de-
cided mudder. was the one to place,
with y. X. Beal, an inconsistent per-
former. in the third hole.
The remainder OF the races were
exceedingly cheap and were only con-
tested by the fairest kind OF selling
platers. In each of the events we'll
backed horses came down in the fore.
and as n result the large throng that
. gain filled the old grounds. wended
their way homeward in a happy mood.
