BOWIE, Nd, Nov. 13.--Bowie's fall
meeting, which opened to-day, proved
rather Disappointing after the stand
ard which had been set at Pimlico.
This was 30 despite almost ideal
weather and possibly may be charged
directly to the wretched transportation
facilities which prevail this year.
These conditions seem worse than ever
before, and thousands of racegoers re-
fused to submit to the inconvenierfces
and stayed at home. Though the sun
shone brightly, there was a tang to the
autumn air winch made furs and over
coats comfortable, and there is little
been reached conveniently u record
crowd would have been on hand.
The racing itself was not up to
usual standards, either. Perhaps this
was also due to poor transportation.
1t would seem from the great number
of horses scratched either that the
entries had been padded or that the
horses could not be brought here in
time from Baltimore.
To r. T. Wilson'S Yellow Hand went
the feature Of the somewhat ordinary
took the Prince George Handicap, at
mile and seventy yards, in easy
fashion. He met with some interfer-
ence on the irst turn, but quickly re-
covered. Weiner waited till the mid
die of the upper turn before making
his move. He then came to the out
side and simply raced past and away
from the others. Rubidium, prominent
all the way, nosed out Recount for the
place, the Stoneham horse coming very
strongly at the finish. Yellow Hand
was one Of several odds-on favorites
to win.
Another Of these odds-on winners
was George Lofts Tippity Witchet,
which took the third race. at six and
a half furlongs, in handy fashion. Tan
Son, an outsider, beat field of four
teen in the opening sprint of seven
furlongs. Ross r., the supposedly good
thing. ran outside the money. Another
outsider, Sundial II, won the fifth
race. paying approximately 20 to /.
