, , i 1 BLUE HILLS QUALITY ♦ Displays Excellent Form in Bowies Chief Offering. * Wilkes-Barre Scores Second Triumph of Meeting — Juvenile Dash to Red Rocket. LOWIK. Md., April S.- There w; s no race which could be designated as a feature for the afternoons sport at Lowie. With the exception of the juvenile race which began the day, each contest was for selling platers and because of thp fact that a heavy raia during the night had changed the going, there was several scratches. The weather, however, was delightful and the usual big crowd was on hand. The best race of the day was at one mile* and a sixteenth for platers. O. C. Winfre s sterling campaigner Llue Hill gave further evidence of his class by taking up lop weight of US pounds and dominating the running throughout. He won easily from R P. Sum- merfields Faenza with Mrs. P.. Mclvuherns Villager outstaying Mrs. A. L. Lawsons King of Fortune for third place. Mrs. A. Swenkex Clique was a disappointment. He was badly beaten at all stages of the race. King of Fortune was the one to chase after Llue Hill in the early racing but Harvey had the Winfrey campaigner under slight restraint as he set the pace. Faenza after starting last, quickly raced into third place and saving ground at the head of the stretch readily took second place. When Faenza moved into second place he was next to the inner rail, but could not get close enough to in any measure, threaten Llue Hill. Light at the end Villager came with a rush and beat King of Fortune for third money by a neck. Wilkes-Larre won his second race of the meeting when he led the others to the iinish in the mile and an eighth sixth race. F. Hoses Lupee raced to second place and If. «;. Ledwells old Cray Cables easily saved third from Mrs. A. R Lawsons Loggarth Aroon. ItlPF.F. SHOWS THF. WAT. Lupee was first to show with Soggarth Aroon second. Stott had Wilkes-Larre under restraint back of them. In the back stretch Stott gave Wilkes-Barre his head and he eiuie-kly opened up a long lead with Lupee still racing in second place. Stott sent Wilkes-Larre right along after he had the lead instead of giving him a breathing spell as would have been the wis.-plan. The result of this was he was tiring at the end and while winner by a couple of lengths he had to be ridden out to make-victory certain. Led Locket, from the Pastime Stable, was the winner of the opening dash at a halt mile for juveniles. This colt had shown ejuality at New Orleans, and his form was no secret, though there were many who looked for him to be beaten, either by Sphere or Sweeping Ann, another New »r-leans performer that was a recent winner here. It was Sweeping Ann that finished second, but Kdith IX, the filly that raced as Rinse at Miami, beat Sphere fe r the short and « f the purse. Before the running. Sweeping Ann ran off with C-roos, and she ran a. quarter at a racing clip before she could be caught. When the barrier rose she was last of the field, but was in motion, so that it was not a particular handicap. Led Locket left the post quickly, and he never left the result in doubt when W. Smith sent him along smartly, to make every post a winning one, and be four lengths clear at the end. Sweeping Ann circled around the others gallantly and held the others perfect -ly safe at the end, where she was a length before Kdith D. KASY FOU MAItYGKAt K. Five of the .eleven that were nameel for the second race at three-quarters were withdrawn by reason of the e-hanged track conditions, and it proved easy for Marygr:u-e. from the New Jersey Stable. She began speedily and. stealing away into a long lend, made :i joke of her company, to be home the winner by four lengths. Crand Bey was slew to be under way. and in the back Stretch he was last of the field, but he worked his way up resolutely until right at the end he nosed out Good Loy. the ones that had been racing second all the way. Seven platers made- up the field for the six and a half furlemgs run as the- third raee. anel it brought about a fighting finish when J. W. Lewis Miss Lost-dale was up in the closing strides to earn a head victory from Mrs. A. Swenkes Sejoreher, with W. R hTklloljll old Dream of the Valley beating Jamea Arthurs Tod Lenesor for third. Miss Lost-dale had all the best of the start, and J. OLrien rushed her into a long early lead, but Scorcher w;is rushed along at a suicidal pace by Steinhart until he went on by the filly and into the straight. Scorcher went wide and there OBrie-n save-d gre»uml with Miss Losedale and. riding with rare ".Continued on sixteenth yasej I ■ , | ! 1 i BLUE HILLS QUALITY Continued from first page vigor through the last eighth, had her alongside the Swenke sprinter twenty yards from the end. Then, in a last struggle, Steinhart was no match for OBrien. Dream of the Valley, as usual, was racing strongly at the end. to be third, while Tod Benesor, after racing forwardly to the stretch, tired in the final pinch. W. A. Smithsons Sun Hajah was much the lust of the sprinters that came together in the fourth. This was a six and a half fur-lungs dash and after being last away from the barrier the son of Sun Briar worked his way up on the outside and in the stretch came away to be the winner by a half dozen lengths. C. Graffaginis Mabel C. was the one to take second place, while Johnny Jewell, from the Glencove Stable, saved third from Sam Louis Lord Baltimore IL Johnny Jewell left the post running while as has already been told. Sun Kajah was last of the six to leave. But Johnny Jewell did not last long in his lead when Lord Baltimore II. was rushed through by Johnny MiTaggart. Tammaro wisely permitted Sun Uajah to settle into his stride before asking him to run. By that time there was considerable of a gap to close, but it was not too great a gap and swinging around on the outside it was apparent that he was to be winner at the head of the stretch. In the run home Tammaro had only to sit still and score with ridiculous ease. Mabel C. had been outrun early and she closed some ground to take second place from the tiring Johnny Jewell.
