I 1 1 STAKE FOR FLITTERGOLD AUGUST BELMONTS COLORS VICTORIOUS IN HAVRE DE GRACE FEATURE RACE. Fair Plays Brother Scores Lucky Victory Over Mon-tresor in Chesterbrook Handicap Chupadcro Continues to Show Good Form Over Jumps. Baltimore, Md., November 14. Montresor would have won the Chesterbrook Handicap for three-year-olds and upward at Havre de Grace this afternoon but for an accident at the start. When the barrier went up Montresor caught the tape in his mouth and ran with It for twenty yards or more before It became disentangled. The horses head was iu the air and he lost several lengths by the mishap. Meantime the others had gone on about their business, with Robert Bradley and Paintbrush showing the way. McCahey rushed Montresor up and joined the bunch behind the pacemakers. Nearing the far turn, Robert Bradley began to quit and Paintbrush forged into the lead, with Flittergold third. In swinging for home, Robert Bradlev bore out and carried Paintbrush and Flittergold with him. Me-Cahev, who had been patient with Montresor, came through on the inside and, in the last furlong, passed Paintbrush and Robert Bradley. He could not pass Flittergold, however, and the Belmont colt won bj- a neck, with Pardner third. The Chesterbrook was the star feature of a good program, which brought out a big Saturday crowd. Flittergold and Montresor were the popular choices and there was also support for Magnet and Paintbrush. The latter suffered from the interference at the head of the stretch probably, but could not have beaten either Montresor or Flittergold under any circumstances. Chupadero, "Miss Chamblets" good three-year-old jumper, took the Potomac Steeplechase in a canter from Astute. The latter opened a big gap on the first round of the field, but when Ryan let Chupadero have his head he quickly overcame Astutes lead and was in hand at the finish. Devoter fell early and Promoter had no contention for third money. Chupaderos performance was an excellent one. He was conceding weight to the others, which he outclassed. A "good thiug" materialized in the third, for two-year-olds, when Videt, backed from 20 to 1 to S to 1, was-returned the winner. He was on the outside at the start, but worked his way up and took the lead entering the stretch. He tired badly In the last furlong and just lasted to beat Penny-rock, a 50 to 1 chance. John L. Paul has taken the horse Sunset to train. The latter is a recent arrival from Latonla. William Smith, with Bob R., was another arrival from Kentucky. At the conclusion of the meeting Bob R. will be shipped to Charleston to join the remainder of the Smith string. Willie Martin has decided to fire his gelding Kayderoseros. Dr. McCully will perform the operation here some day next week.
