! 1 1 HORSES FOR BOWIE RACING LAST EASTERN MEETING OF THE YEAR PROMISES. GOOD ATTRACTIONS. Sand Marsh, Flittergold, Fenmouse, Kewessa, Bo-, nevolent and Many Others of Like Good Class to Meet in Competition. Baltimore, Md., November 11. William P. Burch, manager of the stable of Samuel Ross of Washington, p. C., will be represented at Bowie through the coming fall meeting of the Southern Maryland Agricultural Association November 14-30. inclusive by a fairly good stable of his own. Alvord. a winner in Maryland and about New York in the spring and summer, belongs to .Mr. Burch, and the son of Solitaire II., is rounding into form. Besides this youngster, Mr. Burch lias a promising imported colt called Tyrant, a son of Radium and Oppression, and an untried maiden called Lady Clinton a daughter of Mohawk II. and Princess Monmouth and a product of John Sanfords Hurricana Farm 111 Jew lork state. Tyrant is a maiden, but 11t. a" "ntne1 ne- He was tried fairly well at J imlico on Wednesday when ho met the winner napoleon in a race of three-quarters of a mile and was beaten by a nose, probably because Kcogh, on Japoleon. rode Troxler close in the last sixteenth and prevented him from using his whip. Tyrant is sure to improve, for Mr. Burch is not a hard trainer, and any sort of improvement will bring him down in front at Bowie. Troxler will do Mr. Burchs riding at Bowie, and Troxler is ex-clIronany effective with two-year-olds. William L. Olivers string for Bowie will be made up of the consistent sprinters Kewessa, the maidens Ld Bond, Landstikker and Billy Oliver and the two-year-old Harper, a son of Voorhees and Gaviota, the latter being a mare. Oliver raced with success some years back. Kewessas victory at Pimlico the other day. in a race of three-quarters of a mile, in which his opponents included some of the best sprinters hereabouts, not to mention his previous effort when he forced Leochares for the first half of the three-quarters that the son of Broomstick covered in 1:11, indicates that Oliver has succeeded in keeping the old sprinter in fine condition through a long campaign. Thomas H. Ryan will take Roadmaster, Red Wing, Lady Unkind and Agnes G. to Bowie, and he llasma f1lr sort of Plater in Roadmaster. This son of The Roman showed good speed in his first race at Laurel, when he was hardly ready for a bruising effort, and he is good over just the sort of going they have at Bowie. Philadelphia will be well represented ns to ownership at Bowie, for. besides the horses of the stables of Jospeh E. Widener and his nephew, George D. Wnlener, which will race there under the management of Andrew Jackson .Toyner, Mike Dalv will take down the establishments of Archibald Barklie and G. A. Muller. The stables of these Quaker State sportsmen are small, but select. Mr. Barklie has two horses Holiday and the maiden Capti.il Prize while Mr. Muller owns two the five-year-old Flittergold and the four-year-old Fenmouse. Holiday, a capital racer on Maryland tracks last fall, is again at the top of his form. He has run with some of the best at Laurel and Pimlico and beaten them. The scalp of the redoubtable Runes, for one, dangles at his belt. He beat Runes at Laurel a few days before that stout son of Voorhees surprised the talent by outrunning Spur at one mile and an eighth in fast time. Capital Prize, which, by the way, was bred by George I. Widener, has had little experience so far. He is a strapping son of Garry Herrmann, which Mr. Barklie bought early in the year for steeplechasing. lie has not had any schooling so far, and it is the hope of his owner that he may run in a flat race or so before the end of the season. Mr. Barklie wants a horse to take the place of the unlucky Blankenburg, which broke down in the tlirec-milc steeplechase at Belmont Park in September. He thinks he has one in this son of Garry Herrmann. Capital Prize will be developed over the Benning track by Daly in the course of the winter. Flittergold and Fenmouse. respectively a son of Hastings and a daughter of Bock Sand, were bought last fall by Muller from the stable of August Belmont, and they have more than oaid for themselves since Daly took them in hand. Both wintered at Benning last year, and both won at Bowie in the spring. They are as good now as they were at the beginning of the year. Flittergold is the better horse. He will race at Bowie with the best of the handicap division over the longer distances, while Fenmouse will try her luck in softer places. Richard Miller, who succeeded John Whalen as trainer of the combined strings of Oscar Lewisolm and David Gideon when Whalen departed for the west to succeed William C. Clancy as trainer of Unstable of Price McKinney, is preparing Benevolent Mr. Lewisohns considerable best erformcr, since the sale to A. E. Macomber of Boots, for the better grade of races over a distance of ground the Southern Maryland Agricultural Association will offer. A Britisher by birth, Benevolent has done practically all of his racing on this side of the Atlantic. He competed with the sprinters in the earlv part of the year, but demonstrated at Laurel that he could stay, especially in muddy going. Little Dipper and a couple of maidens constitute the Gideon string. Besides these. Miller is training the F. B. Doctor string, which is composed of the good weight carrier Sand Marsh, the two-year-old Brooklyn and the plater High Tide. Miller is saving Sand Marsh for Bowie, because he found out last fall that the heavy cushion of the new track suited the Sandringham geldings bad feet. High Tide is not one of the best platers hereabouts, but he is proving useful. Brooklyn looks like a comer. He is a son of Von Tromp. He was bred in California and is a colt of fine size and considerable speed, which he maintains well over a good distance of ground. Sandy McNaughton developed him and predicts that he will make a first-rate stayer next year.
