MARLBORO RACING CONTINUES FORMFUL. Washington, D. C, November 16. The largest erowd of the week was present at the Marlboro track this afternoon and once again the layers had a disastrous experience, for the six races were evenly divided between favorites and second choices. While the track had dried out considerably, it still was heavy next to the rail. W. B. Carson was again in the limelight today, and he went one better than usual by capturing three purses. He won the opening dash with Billy Hancock, the fifth with Tippy and the closing race with Hatteras. this being the first race in which Hatteras has scored since joining the Carson stable. Schewbig had the mounts on Tippy and Hatteras, while J. Bergen piloted Billy Hancock, and as the last-named also won with Susan, it meant two wins for each rider. The start of the race won by Susan was delayed for seventeen minutes, as New Star threw Clement three times and ran away. Finally New Star was sent away alone and then the others were started so that many who had backed New Star thought he was the winner when he led Susan past the finish. The Pinkertons today arrested several men at the track on suspicion of being wire tappers. Goodacre was scratched nfti-r betting had been going on a few moments in the fourth race and all money wagered on him was refunded.
