BELAIR STUDS WISE LADY Accounts for the Second Running of ,000 Added Delaware Oaks. Brookmeade Stables Teacher Proves Best in , Polly Drummond Stakes — Goodly Crowd Is Present Despite the Heat. STANTON, Del., June 17.— The Delaware s Steeplechase and Race Association furnished an interesting program studded with two , ,000 added stakes for the third Saturday of • the current meeting and they were accounted [ J for by two leading racing establishments ; I i when Belair Studs Wise Lady accounted for - , , the second running of the Delaware Oaks, t I i worth ,225, and Teacher, useful two-year- . j I old from the Brookmeade Stable, annexed [ I the third running of the Polly Drummond [ [ [ Stakes to earn ,825. These two fixtures were the magnet that t attracted a good gathering to the Stanton i grounds for a hot afternoon of sport; and in i I Both events the winners were successful in i j j stretch drives. For the reason that more » j nominations were made when the Polly f I I Drummond Stakes closed for entries, it t brought a richer valuation to the winner, but t the Oaks was the most-interesting attraction, , I I as it brought out the best three-year-old I I ! fillies in training. | Carrying eleven pounds less than she ; I toted in the recent running of the Coaching j . . Club American Oaks at Belmont Park, in which she finished third, Wise Lady, from i I j the Belair Stud of William Woodward, j turned the tables on James Cox Bradys War r Plumage, winner of that engagement, when l ! I she accounted for the Delaware Oaks, which i ; topped the twin stakes program. | Her score came in a drive when she led 1 the heavily backed favorite to the finish i of the nine furlongs race, and third was 5 ! [ easily captured by Mrs. A. Pelleteris Alms, , I winner of the Pimlico Oaks, when she main- - ! ! tained a wide margin over Pascua and Puz- - I ! zle Dance, both of which have been performing - ; in claiming races. AWAY IN GOOD ORDER. The Delaware Oaks was run after the two-year-old . race, and the small field left in i good order when the break cimc, with i j j Pascua first away but soon tiring when Wise » Lady stepped along briskly to the turn to be e I i well in the clear. With Puzzle Dance and I Pascua quickest of the others after jockey ! R. Dotter had War Plumage in trouble in i j the first sixteenth, Wise Lady was able to a ! enjoy a long lead and jockey H. Dabson i ! wisely took her in hand. Puzzle Dance and Pascua were not good 1 enough to challenge the Belair colorbearer r j j and in the run down the far side War Plumage - was sent into second place as Dotter r swung to the outside with the Coaching j Club American Oaks winner. Wise Lady was s I racing smoothly and at the turn was chal-longed -1 by the J. C. Brady miss, and in a1 game exhibition managed to stay in front I to the end. ! At the final furlong post War Plumage ! drew abreast of Wise Lady, but she was s unable to keep up in the last eighth. HER MOST IMPORTANT. Eight of the best juvenile fillies met for r the third running of the ,000 added Polly Drummond Stakes, which was the first of the twin-stakes to be run, and it gave B Teacher, from the Brookmeade Stable of Mrs. Dodge Sloan, her most important victory this year when she was a driving win-ner ! of the five furlongs sprint to earn I ,825. I Ridden by jockey M. Peters for that I riders second saddle success of the day, the swift daughter of Wise Counsellor broke ! | the latest winning streak of G. D. Wideners I ] Rosetown, to beat that i ! filly one length as g Arden Lass, winner of the Betsy Ross Stakes : ; in her last start, eked out a nose decision for third over W. S. Kilmers Sun Mixa. The race was run in fast time when the j i winner was timed in 1:00, the second fast- j I est time in the history of the valuable fix-tare. The early pace was set by Pimlico I Queen, and she was in that position until j I | reaching the home stretch, where Sun Mixa _ | forged into the lead. The Kilmer miss was not good enough to 0 j ! hold the command, and she fell prey as s i j Teacher and Rosetown waged a bitter battle e " j I in the last sixteenth for premier honors. ■ I
