BOW AND ARROW WINS AGAIN Second Consecutive Victory for Edward R. Bradleys Colorbearer. Jean Bart Second and Deflate Third Miss Dolphin Graduates in First Start "Under Silks. HAVRE DE GRACE, Md., April 27. Coming back with a better performance than he exhibited on the occasion of his last winning race here a few days ago, Edward R. Bradleys swift-running colt, Bow and Arrow, remained unbeaten this season when he took honors in the Sudbrook Purse, a test of six furlongs that served as the feature attraction for the semi-final day of the Harford Agricultural and Breeders Association meeting at Havre de Grace today. Opposed by seven other shifty three-year-olds that met over the three-quarters distance, the son of Whichone and Beaming Over accounted for his second triumph of the season in a thrilling drive, and his margin at the end of the journey that was accomplished in 1:12 was just a length. Walter M. Jeffords Jean Bart was the one to chase the winner to the close of the contest, and he held a lead of three lengths over Deflate, from the J. P. Jones stable, which took third by a scant margin over Night Play. The others under colors were Fatsey Begone, Rosselli, Green Mist and Birilcs, which finished in the order named. Little time was wasted at the starting point before a suitable alignment was obtained and it saw Patsey Begone and Deflate first away from the stalls and the others away in good order. In the run down the back stretch Green Mist possessed the most speed and S. Renick had the Bruce gelding under a drive to step along just in advance of Deflate and Jean Bart, while J. Renick had Bow and Arrow right with the leaders holding to fourth position. Green Continued on twenty-second page. ! j j i i 1 j t l t - i i BOW AND ARROW WINS AGAIN Continued from first page. Mist was setting a good pace as he clung to the lead and until reaching the home stretch managed to head his dpponents. Until the completion of this portion of the trip no change occurred back of the Bruce gelding but there was a general bunching up as the field was straightened out for the stretch run. It was here that Bow and Arrow engaged the leaders and he continued strongly until he passed each of the leaders to come away smartly right at the end. Jean Bart had little difficulty in earning second place award while Deflate held on tenaciously to keep Night Play from gaining the short end of the spoils. For the next to last day of the spring meeting a crowd of average size turned out for the sport and once again they met with repeated reverses when choices failed in most of the races. The E. F. Seagram stable took down their second purse of the meeting when Miss Dolphin, a first-time starter, made good at first asking to defeat a limit field of juveniles that met in the four and one-half furlongs of the opening event. Grouped in the field speculation with two others, the Seagram miss was good enough under a hustling ride by J. Hunter to lead the way for every stride of the abbreviated journey to register in a drive. Going into command, shortly after the start, the daughter of Stimulus and Tinamou opened up a lead of five lengths when straightened into the home stretch, but weakened fast during the closing furlong and she was under stout pressure to reach the close of the number leading the way by a length and one-half. Harrys Dream, racing in nearest pursuit of the winner from the beginning and enjoying most support, chased the Seagram filly to the end. She was just a head before America First at the end, with Tidy Lady in advance of the eight others. Miss Dolphin covered the intermediate distance in :55 and her supporters received better than 6 to 1. Plater sprinters of the home-bred colony vied for supremacy under claiming conditions in the second offering and it provided opportunity for Mrs. J. Bosley, Jr.s, Snobby Scamp to account for his first success of his career when he took the measure of E. K. Brysons Boocord, Adams Eve, from the F. J. Adams stable, and eight others that formed a field of eleven starters. Under silks for the third time since being placed in training, the Bosley gelding had speed enough following a good get-away to race along in fourth position, while Adams Eve, Cantersine and Vanda Cerulea went out closely lapped to lead the way. H. Le Blanc was astride the Bosley sprinter and he was content to rate along in the wake of the trio for over a half mile before making his move. Electing to come to the outside on the stretch turn, Snobby Scamp readily engaged the front runners a furlong from the finish, then closing resolutely under a smooth ride, got up in the last few strides to win by a neck. Boocord, holding on desperately after disposing of Adams Eve midway in the stretch, took second place award by two lengths, with Adams Eve holding a similar margin over Justa Glider, which led the remaining starters. The downfall of choices continued uninterrupted when W. A. Jones Trujillo swept to an easy triumph for his second score of the year when he defeat E. Sachsenraaiers Laura S., J. D. Cohns Iron Ore and eight other mediocre sprinters that were started in the third race over six furlongs. Ridden by Carl Hanford and showing a great deal of improvement over his recent local race that was his first start since performing in Florida during the winter, the Jones sprinter proved superior when he drove past the last line winner by three lengths. Back in fifth position in the early stages of the trip while May V. and Iron Ore alternated in setting the pace, the Jones color bearer finished with a bold rush to account for one of the easiest victories of the day. At the end he was having little difficulty in withstanding Laura S., which got up in the last couple of strides to earn a nose decision for that part of the spoils over the tiring Iron Ore. The winner in this particular instance was held at 6 to 1, and, covered the distance in the slow time of 1:14. A
