la Ml Meeting a huge success STAKE AND PURSE; DISTRIBUTION TOTALS f 237,254 CAPT kAl PARR AND HIS COLT BLAZES TE BIGGEST WINNERS Favored by pleasing weather conditions and with the foremost racing establishments of the East flying their colors at Laurel Park, the October meeting of the Maryland State -Fair was, in every respect, the big success everyone expected it to be. During the twenty?six days of racing the imposing total of 37,254 was distributed in stakes and purses, the daily average, distribution amounting to 2,-071. Nine richly-endowed stake races brought into conflict the stars of the respective divisions, while riarge and well-matched fields of good handicap horses and platers of no; mean ability fought for the generous "overnight purses offered. Stceplechasing was given a prominent place on- the program, a race through the field being provided; every day, In addition to three stake features exclusively for the jumpers. Great crowds came to see the racing and-the speculatively inclined found keen-enjoyment in the battle against the "iron men," with the results, on the whole, entirely satisfactory to the public. Capt. Ral Parr garnered the lions share of the prizes distributed at Laurel. His horses won twelve races and 30,839, giving him a substantial margin over H. P. Whitneyi who won eight races and 2,578, for the lendcrsiiip of tlie winning owners. Others who enjoyed a goodly measure of success were E. B. McLean, J. K. L. Ross, S. Ross and W, J.
