PIMLICOS FALL STAKES FILL SPLENDIDLY. Maryland Jockey Club to Have Good Meeting in November Stake Named for Late Mr. Walden. Baltimore, Md., October 12. The stakes of the Maryland Jockey Club, which closed October 1, to be rjin at the fall meeting at Pluilico, beginning Novmber 1, show an increase in number over former stakes and a decided improvement in the class of the entries, conditions for which the management has. been striving for. The Clabaugk Memorial for foals of .1905 was closed this, fall, to be run at the spring meeting of 1907, as it was thought the closing of the stake In the fall would lend an additional interest to the owners and breeders of yearlings in Maryland, Pennsylvania, Virginia and District of Columbia, to which locality the stake was limited. It would seem the change was a wise one, since fifty -four colts have .been entered for the stake, twenty-three being Maryland-bred, twenty-five from Virginia and . six from Pennsylvania. The interest of the breeder Is further kept up by the addition of 00 In plate to the breeder of the winner. The stake was won in the spring of 1903 by the late Wynilham Walden with a Maryland-bred colt. J. E. Lane won In 1905 with a colt from Virginia. The two-year-old stake to be run at the fall meeting Is called the Walden. It is at six furlongs, and is. named for the late Wyndham Walden, who probably did more for racing in Maryland than any one man. There are thirty-three entries to the stake, and among the number are the colts of many old friends of the man from whom it took its name. It includes among its number many wlnuers at Buffalo and on the Canadian Circuit, as well as some which have won on 1he metropolitan tracks, such as Gold Lady, Susannah, The Wrestler, Landsman, Laura A.. Josie S., Umbrella, Orphan Lad, Mary Curtis, Lady Vera. Allcgra, Cave Adsum, Lord Boanerges, Kil-loehan, Lucy Marie, Town Topics and Percentage. The Country Club of Pimlico Selling Stakes has proved the popularity of such stakes with the owners and trainers of today by receiving thirty -nine entries. The distance is at one mile and a sixteenth, and among the likely contenders might be mentioned Pleasant Lays, Nonsense, Bryan, Cadichon, The Clown, Simple Honours, Donna, Spring, Wizard, Gary.
