Preakness hopes performed like dray
horses while some that had been un-
able to raise respectable gallop
through the Bowie sand OUTRAGED

mutuel payoff board in the center field
was compelled to call upon his reserve

lowed Rebuke, the Cuban Derby winner,

Song were supplying the pace, but came
on the outside of his six opponents
through the stretch and was going away
under Penman's handling to win by
three-quarters Of length from Comic
Song
Sidereal had no difficulty accounting
fer third because the discordant Violin
ist was ten lengths back, wavering in
the wake of the strong wind that blew
down the strc.a throughout the cold
day.

In Violinist he has found a mighty
bright juvenile substitute In Cartoonist,

ably the biggest and best looking
juvenile in Maryland training. The

record.
Cartoonist Runs Half In 0.4S.
Cartoonist weighs about 500 pounds
more than Little Rosie and beat her

the shivering dazed form students, the
trains returning TO Baltimore we're late
and so overcrowded that many were
compelled 20 stand while they voted II a
rare day.
