CLOSE FINISHES AT HAVRE DE GRACE HAVRE. DE GRACE, Md., September 29. Panoply, the Peter Pan filly from the Whitney stable, carrying top -weight of 115 pounds in the Hnrford .Consolation Handicap at three -quarters of a mile for three-year-olds and over, showed a dazzling flight of speed and won by a head from J. J. Far-rell, .Ir.s, Mock Orange in a rousing drive. E. B. McLeans Siren Maid was third. Hustled away by jockey Rodriguez, the Whitney filly opened a long lead in the early running, going the quarter in 23 and the half in 40, but apparently was short and had to be ridden out to withstand the challenge of Mock Orange, which closed fast under the energetic riding of A Allen. This marked the third race in five in which the colored rider was beaten by a narrow margin. Some of the most interesting racing of the meeting was witnessed today and a large midweek attendance was on hand to enjoy it. Close and hard fought finishes marked several of the dashes, this being particularly true in the third, fourth and fiftli races. Six or seven more carloads of horses left tins morning for Laurel.
