New Record Established
When Capt. PARIS
Silks Land Honors.

Pimlico Race Track. May S-what
is believed TO be a record was estab-
lished today when for the fourth con-
secutive occasion the silks of Capt.
Parr. local turfman. were carried to
victory in the steeplechase at Pimlico.
The aged brown gelding. warlock.
was the jumper TO continue the for
mer army officers remarkable string
of triumphs. but il was only after a
stirring finish that Crawford got the
son Of Bryn Mawr up to win by a
head from Brand. ~hich finished only
a nose in front OF w. +. Knebelkamp.
1t was easily the prettiest steepIechase
of the meeting.
The victor rraiIed the field right up
until the last quarter, when Crawford
decided to get to the front as quickly
as possible. He began to vigorously
urge his mount and. closing with a
mighty rush, Warlock just managed
to wrest the honors. Brand weakened
after making a determined effort GO
ing to the final obstacle. He would
have paid his supporters IS TO / had
he won. w. F. Knebelkamp ran as IL
a little short. Warlock's victory made
/, the fifth for Capt Parr in the seven
steeplechases run.
The Baltimorean's leapers have gone
over sixty-five obstacles without a
mishap and have captured $50 in Vic
tory bonds for Trainer W. Garth un-
der the Maryland Jockey Clubs plan
OF donating a $50 bond to the winning
trainer OF each race.
Wilfrid Viau didn't win a whole
lot when the brilliant 3-year-oId
Camoufleur. ridden by Hummer,
made a show of a smart field in
the sixth race of a mile. After
being carried wide at the first turn.
this accomplished chestnut son of
Astronomer drew away into a COM
manding lead going down the back
stretch and was eased up at the
eno. four lengths in front of Doug
lass 5, while Gamecock was third
The performance was such an i'm
pressive one that Sam Louis imme-
diately ran the winner up to $4,000.
put ne was protected for the owner
oy the usual IS advance. Camou-
fleur was entered for $4,000.
Several of the finishes today were
the most exciting Of the meeting,
that which came with the running
OF the opener at six furlongs for
5-year-olds being especially so.
AFTER sprlntinE into the lead at the
start and retaining it the entire
trip, p. A. Clark's Lion Dor. with
Ensor up, began tirinE right at The
end. and IL was only by a whisker
that he stalled off the challenge of
w. r. Goes Over There. The latter
rapidly wore the winner down in
the stretch and would have beaten
him In another stride. Henry A
Porter's Pride Of India closed a bir
gap from a slow beginning and was
third.
