VI J. h L. Ross Bastille. son of

II was a good race. one Of the
oest seen this season at the Mary
iand state Fair track, and, among
other things. it proved the oft-re-
peated assertion that BastiIle has

me victory of the Ross horse
should be credited on a fifty fifty
oasls-equally split between Bas-
me and his rider, Lang. Lang I'M
'ouotedly had a good horse under
MN but to the boy must go the
credit for the clever handling of
ms mount in the early going
handling without which Bastine
would not have been in the money.
Minute Man Opens Big Lead.
Minute Man was the first to tIke
advantage OF a good start Mooney
showed Minute Man into a big lead
going up the back stretch. At the
half-mile post Minute Man was still
Leading. while BastilIe and Dresden
Two which ran first and second re
specuvely, were running neck and
neck five lenpths behind.
Rounding the three quarters pole
Lang, who had been holding BastiiIe
well in hand throughout the jour
ney. made his bid with the Ross
colt and followed by Dresden these
Two raced Minute Man into the
ground in the drive to the wire.
Minute Man had just enough to save
third money.
Wellander and Slippery Elm. both
OF whom were well played by the
talent had followed the fast pace
cut out by Minute Man in the early
going and neither had enough left
to challenge Bastille and Dresden
IN the drive through the stretch.
Heupers ride aboard Dresden was
another bright spot in this race. And.
had not Jake lost his whip in that
final drive, he might have brought
his mount home ahead Of Bastille.
The Stayers." a claiming event at
one and one-half miles, for 3-year-
olds and upwards, brought out some
better-than average competition. In
fact this race. as a race, rivaled the
feature.
Fairway it was which gathered the
honors. but it was anyone's race from
flag fall to finish.
Fairway broke in the lead and the
son Of Bryn Mawr-justly managed
TO hold his breaking position through
out the long journey. Cubanita and
Lads Love chung to the leaders heels
for the first mile, but when the final
drive doomed both had run themselves
out. and Lady Emmeline and Lady
Lillian moved up. They finished in
that order.
Adiectives and nouns. not all OF
them complimentary. were flying thick
