Three of the victories have been scored at Bowie and she is the only horse that has three to her credit in tie eight days of racing here. It was another overcast day and not exactly pleasant for the sport, but the crowd was out as usual and the sport furnished was first class. In this Marlboro Turse that fell to Golden Billows there were five starters and the daughter of Golden Maxim was good enough to lead from end to end and outgame T. W. OBriens Shamrock, while S. N. Hohnana Llewellyn was the one to save third place from Eager, with Thomas Clydes Just last of the company. From a grod start Wallace shot Gclden Billows away from her rail position and the light-weighted Just was with her. l.lew.11. u was a close third and Eager was outside of them, having left the post from the outside positicn. On the first turn Golden Billows bore Out slightly, carrying Just with her, while Eager showed a disposition to go out without any excuse and Coltiletti was bitting him en the nose with the whip in an effort to kee: him in. Swinging into the backstretch Golden Billows drew cut slightly and when si o had taken her position Wallace rated bet-along. Just was not far away, while Shamrock had moved up on the inside and was a close contender. Eager was not racing kindly and lie and Llewellyn were alongside one another. Golden Billows held to her lead readily, but on the stretch turn she again left an opening next to the insid--rail and Shamrc.ek was ruahed up there ea Just tired. Eager again went a bit wide, but he could close no ground on his company and Golden Billows was safely home half a length before Shamrock, with Llewellyn a length farther away. WINN Kit FOR It. T.
