MISS MARY CHAPMAN
Principal
About the Largest crowd that has
turned out to witnesss the races this
season saw Wilson's grey racer, David
B., driven by Wickert, redeem himself
for any defeats he has suffered this
season, by winning the prize event of
the day, the Annual March Harness
Event for a purse of $250.00, in straight
heats.
This was the feature on a very good
program and as usual provided a day
of good sport for the banner crowd. By
making a very neat turn in the get-away
Wickert was well up in front at the
start of the first heat and took the rail
position from Thomas, driving Direct
Belle, before the first turn was reached.
From then on the heat practically be
longed to the grey gelding and he never
was in danger of being overtaken, win
ning by fully eight lengths from Mittie
Bedworth, driven by J. Smith.
The second heat was merely a repeti
tion of the first, the speedy David B.
meeting with no opposition and winning
by a good ten lengths, but the third and
final heat developed a struggle for first
honors between the grey and Princess
Ingomar, driven by J. Smith. As in the
former heats, David B. had all the early
speed and set a fast pace to the head of
the back stretch, but was at no time
more than a length in front of Princess
Ingomar, who got away nieely. Here
Smith let the mare out and. a flash of
speed left her even with the grey, and
for a moment in the lead, but Wickert
quickly gained the lost ground, and a
snappy little spurt on the part of David
B. soon opened a fast-widening gap be
tween the two, the heat and race going
to the popular grey.
Mr. H. B. Swope's Wasseon sprang a
surprise when he galloped away to a
victory over Mary Grace O'Brien's Joe
Miller in the five one-half furlong sweep
stakes. Lambert Splane's Lyndonia,
which was the logical favorite, ran a
very dull race and Nibb's Ray-O-Light
scored a very close victory when he cap
tured the seven furlong event and de
feated Robert Taylor's fast bay gelding,
Algardi, and His Nibbs, owned by Trot
ter. George Roach was also a starter.
The victory was somewhat of a surprise,
for Algardi was considered to be one of
the best horses quartered at the Pine
hurst track. As a race, this proved to
be the most spectacular contest of the
afternoon. From beginning to end it
was essentially a race between Ray-O-Light
and His Nibbs, for Algardi and
George Roach were never in the contest
for any appreciable distance. Algardi
was some twenty lengths back of His
Nibbs at the finish and George Roach
was as many lengths out of third place.
The event was decided in the stretch in
dramatic fashion. Atwell managed to
nose into the lead at the turn, and the
two set out for home or further orders.
It was anybodys money, hell-f or-leather
every foot of the way Ray-O-Light
flashing in perhaps a whisper to the
good. Glory Be! and finished first.
Wright sent the Swoope entry away
with a bound right on the heels of Car
ter, riding Lyndonia, and in a hundred
yards he had gone to the rail. JO0
Miller, Call up, which had been rather
backward in getting away made a fine
showing one he was under way and
gained steadily on Wasseon until round
ing the turn into the home stretch, when
they were almost riding neck and neck.
When Wright began to make his drive,
Call moved with Joe Miller and en
deavored to send him home, but the
pace set by Wasseon was entriely too
fast for him and even though he was go
ing strongly, he could not gain on the
leader, who won by only a nose.
Jockey Wright, who has been one of
the leading riders here, added another
victory too his long list when he brought
Mildred Euretta home an easy winner
in the five one-half furlong against a
field of three starters. All three were
off to a good start and in the struggle
for the lead over the first hundred yards
Wright beat the others and reached the
turn, with Mildred Euretta hugging th
rail in front. Lady Betty, Atwell up,
was second and Machese, ridden by
Miles, held the rear position. The mare
was full of racing and going thru the
back stretch she was fully tkree lengths
in front. Lady Betty rushed up to
wards the finish and made a game effort
to overhaul the winner, but the best she
could do was to save the place from
Machese.
The balance of the card provided some
very good events. The Steeplechase,
usually considered the classic of the day,
was slightly marred by scratches, but
in spite of this fact provided another
exciting finish. There were two entries
in the event, Thomas' Disturber, ridden
by Archibald, and Russian Pinion, Wells
up. Both horses were under a strong
pull and alternated in taking the lead,
but were running so close together, that
it mattered little which was in front
from time to time. Archibald hit the
stretch holding a lead of half a length
and had just enough speed to hold on to
the finish. Had the race been a short
distance further, Russian Pinion would
have been the victor.
Contrary to great beliefs and expec
tations, Mr. J. C. Thomas up on Billy
Oliver, beat Mr. Herbert Cameron, rid
ing Firebrand, in a mad, merry go-round
at one-half mile. It was a match race,
and a race destined to settle all future
argument in regard to Billy Oliver and
Firebrand. A charming tete-a-tete was
very properly conducted by both riders
during their mad endeavor to ride each
other into the ground, but after a great
deal of persuasion on the part of the
multitude Mr. Thomas came to a quick
conclusion, poked the struggling black
beauty in the flank with his crop, and as
result of said poke Billy crossed the line
a short but sure winner.
Another sterling attraction was the
running of Harvest Barba, a two year
old colt belonging to-Mr. Hyde. Pitted
against Joseph Guy and Little Bomls-
