HAVRE DE GRACE, Md. April "a.
w. S. Murray's Sandy Beal, admit
rably ridden by Jimmie Butwell, scored
in sensational manner when he de-
feated high class field of three
year-olds in the Chesapeake Stakes at
one mile and seventy yards here to-
day.
The victory of Sandy Beal came as a
distinct shock to the large crowd. as
he was not considered to be even a
troublesome contender in this field.
1t was a case of the done going
wrong. Sandy Beal paid $S4.SO for a
So ticket. Wildair. from the Whitney
stable, was second. and Paul Jones
third.
Blazes failed ANONYMOUSLY in his
attempt to race up to expectation,
finishing poor fourth. Wildair and
King Thrush went out to make the
pace and they ran like a team to the
middle Of the back stretch. Here King
Thrush quit Wildair then took the
lead. On the last turn Butwell
brought Sandy Beal up fast, but was
forced to drive and won going away
by one and half lengths. Wildair
was length in front of Paul Jones,
The race had net value of $3.50.

winner of the first race. 1t was his
initial appearance under colors and
he glorifed his winning by creating a
new track record for four and half
furlongs when he stepped the distance
in So 49, which is just one-fifth Of q
second faster than the best previous
time made by George Smith in 1915.
Some Baby disappointed his support
ers in this race. This colt was report
ed to have turned quarters so fast that
the result Of the first event was sup
posed to be din" But he ran like all
good things, showing no speed. and
finally finished out of the money. Star
Voter took the lead at the start and
won in drive by head.
Back Bay made it two in a row when
he drove down in front in the second
race, winning by head.
During the running Of the third race
very serious accident was narrowly
averted when the saddle on Panoply
slipped and turned completely under
the filly's stomach. Coltiletti was
thrown off. The accident occurred Just
after the first furlong had been ira
versed, and the filly was making a bid
for the lead
Coltiletti had almost wrested the
leadership from Sir Barton when the
saddle girths gave way, causing the
saddle to twist. Willing hands rushed
to Coltiletti's aid. and upon examine
ton it was found that he was not seri-
ously injured.
Sir Barton had no contention and
scored easily, with his stable mate,
Milkmaid. second, and Ticklish third.
One o. the prettiest and closest fin
ishes Of the season came off in the
fourth race, when Star Master and
Billy Kelly came to the finish on al
most even terms. 1t was a grueling
cri,e al through the final furlongs,
and it was. not until the final stretch
that Schuttinger got Star Master in
front to win by very short nose.
Star Master was probably much the
best, and would have won by wider
margin, but in the early running
schuttinger was forced to take up
sharply, causing the Macomber horse
TO lose much ground. The boy took to
the outs de. where he could get clear
sailing. and won. The time, 1889 LIS,
for the mile, is the fastest so far os
the meeting.
