HAVRE CARD IS ORDINARY Thursdays Offering Arouses but Little Enthusiasm. Moco Takes tho Principal Race Miles S. Mates It a Double for L. T. Bauer Little Hope "Wins. a HAVRE DE GRACE, Md., September 2S. The card which was offered at Havre de Grace this afternoon failed to arouse much enthusiasm among the spectators. The seven races offered were under claiming conditions and catered to the cheaper grade of horses. All of the contests were at longer than the usual sprinting distances, there being none raced at less than a mile and seventy yards. Weather conditions were all that could be desired, it being much warmer and as a result the crowd was of larger proportions. The majority of the winners scored in decisive style. A race which brought out a band of six fillies and mares and carded as the fourth race resulted in a victory for G. Goodacres Moco, ridden by Chalmers, by a wide margin from R. Lewis Griselda, with S. Louis Bro-melia third. J. Chalmers, who was astride the winner, saved every inch of ground throughout and was fortunate in not meeting with interference rounding tho far turn when he came through on the inside. Bromelia was the one to show in front when the barrier was released, but she showed a disposition to bear out rounding the first turn, but was struck across the head several times and settled to her racing. Mollie Barnes was the one to race closest in pursuit, but quit badly and had no excuses. Griselda came with a rush on the outside and got up in the final strides to take second place from Bromelia. j EAST TOR MILES S. The.L. T. Bauer stable completed a double when Miles S. was an easy winner of a race f6r three-year-olds, at a mile and a sixteenth. Crock o Gold fook second place, while San Hedron was third. The winner was ridden by G. Walls and dominated the running throughout. The start found Crock o Gold away in front, but McLane failed to make use of the advantage and Miles S. soon had him headed before the first turn was reached, while Hutchison, which began in a tangle, was rushed from last position to the leaders. Miles S. drew away when Crock o Gold was taken under restraint. The others move up fast rounding the far turn, but Miles S. was far from being through and drew away again. Crock p Gold made another bid rounding the stretch turn,- easily disposing of the others, but never menacing the winner. San Hedron shook off Hutchison at the end. L. T. Bauers Josephine C, which has been racing over the smaller tracks, was returned the winner of the first race in a drive from M. J. Murphys Noon Glide, while Sweet and Pretty was third. Smallwood, on Noon Glide, entered a claim of foul, saying that Walls had crossed over in front with the winner rounding the far turn. The claim was not allowed. Josephine C, away like a flash, readily drew away into a long lead, closely pursued by Noon Glide and Confederacy. Smallwood attempted to slip through on the inside, but was blocked. Josephine C. hugged the inner rail, but was ridden out at the end to stall off the rush of the Murphy starter. Confederacy quit badly, while Sweet and Pretty got up in time to take the short end of the purse. C. Buxtons recent acquisition, Little Hope, scored with ridiculous ease on her first appearance for her new owner when she was under restraint to beat B. Hardings Reap, while Be Trueman was third. The race was at five and a half furlongs under claiming conditions. The start was good and fast and Be Trueman and Little Hope quickly outran their opponents-and drew away into a long lead. Reap was racing in third position. Smallwood, astride the winner, came through on the inside rounding the far turn and assumed the lead to win by a wide margin. Be Trueman began to tire and went wide entering the stretch and Reap easily took second place. S. Louis has secured second call on the services of the good apprentice E. Small-wood for the remainder of the Maryland season. SCHOOLING LIST LARGE.
