BOWIE TRACK CROWDED TO ITS LIMIT. Hauberk and Fruit Cako Winners of the Days Principal Races Track Talk. Baltimore, Md., November IS. The Southern Maryland Agricultural Association this afternoon entertained its largest crowd of the meeting at Prince Georges Park. Extra trains were required to bring the patrons over from Washington and Italtimore. The racing conditions could hardly have been improved upon. It was an ideal fall day, and with a splendid program down for decision. A pleasant afternoon was enjoyed by those present. Secretary McLeunon furnished as features the Prince George Handicap, a dash of one mile for three-year-olds and over, with .00 added, and the Howie Junior, a dash of six and a half furlongs, for two-year-olds, which was run out of the chute. Hauberk won the former race, while Fruit Cake easily disposed of the youngsters she met in the Howie Junior. Both of these wiuuers are recent arrivals from the Canadian circuit. Goodwood winner of the opening race was ad-uuced 00 over his entered price of 00, and was bought in. During the afternoon Joseph A. Murphy, racing manager at the New Orleans Fair Grounds, issued a notice, which carried with it a wholesale reinstatement of a number of owners, who got into bad repute with the association at New Orleans in the course of the first meeting. The notice read as follows: "E. O. Crum, Geo. W. Innes, J. W. May. Grover C. Baker and G. II. Baker have been restored to all privileges of the Business Mens Kaeing Association." Imperator arrived yesterday from the Shults Farm at Bed Bank, N. J., where he has been turned out since last spring. He looks big and high, but his ailing leg appears to have been much benefited by the treatment, to which it was subjected. He is now in the stable o Edward Rath-man, the young trainer who did so well with Maxims Choice in Cuba last winter. Imperator will be shipped with the remainder of the Rathman string from here to Oriental Park at the conclusion of the present meeting. A. B. Hancock, the well-known breeder who maintains breeding establishments in Virginia and Kentucky, was an arrival this afternoon. L. J. Carey was appointed a committee of one by the horsemen at their meeting Thursday night, to confer with the starter and stewards regarding the suspension of riders. The horsemen suggested that the suspension of a jockey be made to begin twenty-four hours after it was imposed! This would enable the boys to ride their engagements. It was nointed out that horsemen were often subjected to much hardship, when finding, on their arrival at the course the following day, that they had no jockey to ride for them and, in many instances, when a number of riders were on the suspended list, they were forced to scratch. Both steward E. C. Smith and starter Dade realized the force of the horscmens argument, but for the reason that the Jockey Club rules were mandatory, in that n suspension begins at the conclusion of the day it was iinoosed, they have no discretion whatever in the matter. Both Mr. Smith and starter Dade promised to recommend to the Jockey Club that the rule be changed so as to permit a suspension to begin twenty-four hours after it is imposed, and the jockey suspended to be permitted to ride only horses for which he had been engaged at the time of the suspension. The five-car special train, bound for Oriental Park, left Mount Washington station this morning. James Milton was on hand to see that all the arrangements were satisfactory to the horsemen and see them off on their trip to Cuba. The J. W. Tangle string was included in todays shipment. Trainer J. Murphy lias received five of the R. S. Dryer yearlings from Gravesend and will ship them to New Orleans.
