Ho witnessed tin? runnlut: of tho different events from :i box In the club house anil during the afternoon made an inspection 1 of the plant, including the mutuel depart- c ment. The governor was escorted about the 11 f place by general manager Edward Burke. It looks us if the Glen Kiddle Farm may have a big season this year. Trainer George 1 .Conway has the horses he is training for Jhe Philadelphia sportsman in great condi- a tion. Battling On, an upstanding son of 1 Oceanic, from that good mare Maid at Arms, i came back with another good performance with -the running of the Lansdown Purse when he beat, among others, the two-time winner, Mucker, which races for the Dixiana Stable. The. Lansdown, a dash of three-quarters, j brought together half a dozen three-year-olds. 1 It was a condition affair and Mucker carried i .top weight. The son of Sweep has been re- l .turned a winner in his two previous starts 1 and on form looked best and was made J favorite. Battling On won a race over a sloppy track a few days back and today j showed that he was equally as good in fast going as in the mud. 1 Mucker began in front when the barrier l . was sprung, but they had not gone a six- : teenth before Battling On had caught and J . passed him and in the run to the half mile j post drew away into a lead of a length and a half. Shady Lady was second and Mucker third. Bounding the far turn Battling On : increased his advantage and was leading by j two lengths and a half; McCoy then steadied . him and in the run through the home stretch he held the others safe. At the end he beat Mucker a couple of lengths. Chattering was . third, beaten a length and a half for second place. FOR 31 Alt YL AND FOALS. The sport opened with a dash of four and a half, furlongs, for maiden two-year-olds foaled in Maryland. It brought a field of j ten to the post, Pretty Boy and Tuckahoe being withdrawn. They were a bit fractious at the post and when the barrier was finally sprung Walter K. broke in front. Before they had gone a sixteenth Avalon was out in front with a lead of three lengths. Robertson steadied her until straightened out in the stretch run, where he permitted her to step along and at the finish she had a mar- i gin of five lengths to spare over Spirit River, i The latter again ran greenly in the early . stages, but when put to a drive responded with energy, wearing Salisbury down. He was right up at the end, to take the place by a scant half length. "Play Workman and cash" is the slogan now with the Marylanders. Harry Payne Whitneys jockey rode another winner when he landed Malolo home in front in the running of the second race. This was a dash of six furlongs, which brought together a field of well balanced platers. In the early stages Malolos chances looked none too good. He was outrun and trailing along with the rear division. Sunview was out in front making the pace with Battler. The pair were racing lapped on one another. Stupendous was third. Rounding the far turn- Workman began riding Malolo and the latter, responding with energy, was moving up fast on the outside. Charging on Sun-view, he was on almost even terms with the latter at the furlong pole and in the last sixteenth assumed command to draw away at his leisure. At the finish Malolo had a lead of two lengths over the tiring Sunview, which was driving to the limit to last long enough to beat Stupendous a head for second place. rOPULATl VICTORY. The Washington delegation let out a Virginia yell when Samuel Ross My Scoop came from behind in the stretch in the fifth race to wear down the tiring Frances St. L. to win by a length and a quarter. My Scoop, ridden by E. Barnes, was slow to begin and was outrun in the early stages. Barnes did not hurry him any but permitted him to get settled in his stride before making an effort, taking to the outside as they swung into the back stretch. Iy Scoop then began to gain on the leaders. Frances St. L. still had a lead of two lengths as the furlong pole was reached. Barnes then roused My Scoop and the latter, responding with a burst of speed, wore down the tiring Frances St. L. and at the finish was going away. Workman put over his second winner of the afternoon when he won the sixth race with Royal Charge. Making all of his own pace, Royal Charge scored in easy fashion when he beat Vowed Vengeance by a length and a half. This pair raced one, two the entire way. After assuming an easy lead in the run to the first turn, Workman took Royal Charge in hand and for the remainder of the way raced under restraint. Vowed Vengeance made several desperate but unsuccessful efforts to get to the leader, but Robertson never gave up and was driving his mount hard at the end. A surprise came with the running of the fourth race, when Macil showed such a poor performance. A well-backed favorite, Macil .was never a factor and wound up in last -place, beaten off. It is just possible that Macil may be ailing. The race furnished a rousing contest and the winner came from the stable of R. A. Smith, whose Master Star beat Baked Apple by a neck in a driving finish, which lasted from the top of the home strctcli Master Star, hustled to the front in the run to the first turn, opened up a lead of a couple of lengths. He had matters pretty much his own way until rounding the far turn where Calome moved up with a determined effort. Stalling off the latter s challenge another factor loomed up in the home stretch when Baked Apple was racing neck and neck with Master Star and both riders were driving. Master Star was hang- ing on courageously and it was a desperate struggle between the two. At the end Master Star still had his neck in front and Baked Apple was a length in front of Calome.
