By ROBERT HENRY.

Repeating his victory of last year,
young Tom Mott, jr., yesterday rode
his big bay mare Brumanna to
handy victory in the Redland Bowl,
feature event of the Redland point
to-point races held at Brooke Johns
farm, near Olney, Md.
A large and very enthusiastic
crowd was on hand to watch the
three races, which each year give
the foXhunting regulars chance to
find out how much speed their
charges have and in a way find out
just how much punishment they can
take. It's no cinch to pack plenty
of weight on horse. race him across
country or miles. take % jumps
of various descriptions and have
something left for the stretch drive.
Crompton Smith of Middleburg,
Va, winner of the 1887 running
of the Redland Bowl, failed 70
show up, preventing his anticipated
duel with Mott, last years winner.
but the race afforded many thrills.
Mott Wins in Drive.
Six horses marched to the post
and after a couple of false starts

John Bird up, and Canmas. Paul

show in front Mott, figuring that
6 miles was long way to 60. eased

long enough to gain third place.
Mishap Costly to Richards.
The heavyweight race proved a
tough one to lose for John Rich
ards and his oddly named mount,
The Boob. Leading by some 10
lengths with but so yards to 60, de-
spite that his saddle had slipped
completely under his horse about
half mile from home, Richards
seemed a sure winner. The crowd,
seeing his gallant display of bare
back horsemanship, began to whoop
him home, but the next instant
their cheers turned to groans as
Richard guided his horse over the
wrong course and right out of the
race.
