WAR NOTE IMPRESSIVELY t ii i ■ f # i ■ — English-Bred Horse Triumphs Over Super in Fine Race, i * ♦ Ultra Gold Beats Mavourneen — ■ Jockey Lang Again to Fore with Three Winners. »- o - BOWIE, Md., April 13. — Horses bred in England, both by Sol and John B. Joel, have figured conspicuously in racing abroad for a number of years. During the early days of the World War some of those royally-bred horses were imported to this country. One of them was War Note, a son of Spanish Prince — Sun Maiden, by Sundridge. Today at Prince George Park War Note gave a demonstration of the speed and stamina expected in such a royally-bred horse. He was one of the six starters in the main contest of the afternoon, a dash of six and a half furlongs, and had a foernan worthy of his steel in the fast Superman horse Super, in addition to four ethers of fair ability. The finish found this pair fighting valiantly, with the result in doubt until the final strides. After St. Donard, the pacemaker, tired from showing the way War Note moved into the lead and all through the final eighth was under a hard drive to withstand the great speed of the onrushing Super, the two crossing the finishing line separated by a short half length. It was a great race and a befitting finish. Jockey C. Lang figured prominently in this afternoons racing and his many admirers profited handsomely when he rode Jean F., Charles J. Craigmile and Jacques to victory. Ii. Morris also was in the limelight, piloting War Note and Ultra Gold to well-earned tri-umps. The card offered this afternoon was a vast improvement over those of the past two days and the fields were of much better quality. Racing was of a spirited order and thrilling finishes prevailed in the majority of the races. Weather conditions were all that could be desired and bordered on the midsummer variety. The track was in splendid condition and fast time was displayed in each race. The attendance showed a decided increase over that of yesterday, the Washington contingent requiring the service of an extra train. Jean F., under a good ride by jockey Lang, graduated from the maiden ranks in the running of the opening race of the afternoon, which brought together a field of twelve two-year-olds, in a stirring finish from Dentaria and Illusionist. The start was a poor one and the winner sprinted into a short lead which he maintained, although ridden out to the end to outstay the fast -com ing Dentaria. After his success in the opener Lang came right back with another winner in the second race in Charles J. Craigmile. The latter had only to canter to win this, a dash of six and a half furlongs, scoring by a wide margin from Bryngar and Lloyd George. JOCKEY GANTXER INJURED. A fast band of sprinters paraded to. the post for the running of the third race, a dash of three-quarters mile under claiming conditions. Victory fell to Ultra Gold, which emerged triumphant in a hard drive with Mavourneen, while Plucky was third. The start of the race was delayed for several minutes, due to an accident in which jockey A. Gantner was the victim. While parading to the post Mavourneen displayed her bad temper and kicked at Hobey Baker. The blow landed on Gant-ners ankle, but fortunately did not break any bones, but inflicted a nasty bruise. The boy was forced to cancel all his mounts and will be unable to ride for some time. E. W. Moore was notified this morning that nine of his horses had been ■hipped from winter quarters at Nashville, Tenn., to Cleveland to race at that point. This division of the stable will be trained by M. Shephard. At a sale which was held in the paddock before the running of the first race these horses, the property of miscellaneous owners, were disposed of with Dr. II. J. McCarthy acing as auctioneer.
