paid. by an afternoon of fair racing.
which included the running on of the
Easter Purse, an event easily won by
James Arthur's Cobalt Lass.
For few minutes during the run
ming OF the fourth race it was feared
that possibly another disastrous ac-
cident had occurred when Jockey
Pauley on Safranor and Erickson on
Plurene fell with their mounts as
they were coming into the stretch It
was soon announced. however, that
Jockey Pauley had only broken two
bones in his wrist, while Jockey
Erickson was uninjured. save from
good shaking up.
W. S. Murray's much touted Mar
celle NJ. failed to make good in the
initial dash for the babies, but those
who backed this horse lost nothing
as n. d. Smiths Drusilla, which ran
on the same ticket, easily managed
to get the decision from Boher-na-
Breena and A. Meals Miss Stathem.
Nose Williams's Mackenzie. a
horse circulated as a good thing in
his previous starts, made good yes
terday when he chopped the second
event from a large field. showing
the way to Vigilante and American.
Low Tide upset the dope in the
third race when he won from Leoti
Fay and Laura Miller and incident
ally set up the longest price of the
day-s27.3O.
Maryland's old favorite, Kewessa,
again disappointed in the fourth
race when he found himself short
and was unable to get up to B. Nor
ris' Sturdee. an outsider in the bet
ting. Kewessa is coming back to
the races a good deal freshened up.
! however, and will doubtlessly cop
heat before the present meeting is
over or certainly before they leave
Maryland.
Firing Line, who likes the soft go
I ing. made herself at home in the
sixth race and gained the distinc-
/ tion of beating a couple OF puch
classier horses, namely Wtlliam
Walkers Dolina and W. l. divers
/ Kills II.
Houdini, who has been knocking
at the door in several races caught
the eye of the judges stand first in
the nightcap. with Sleeth and Fairy
Prince following.
r. Murphy's Noureddin was Sc
Iected by the Handicapped as the
class of the race. and he would
have had an excellent chance of
getting down in front II Jockey
Stapleton had not been compelled
to pull him up after his saddle
slipped. Noureddin showed plenty
of run at the start, but he was too
rractious.
Young Richcreek kept up his good
work yesterday when he brought
Arthur's Cobalt Lass home win
ner in the feature event of the day.
