SAMUEL ROSS HAS SMART STABLE. Made Up Chiefly of Well-Bred Youngsters— Ulti- matum and Crank Chief Reliance. Baltkaore, ld.. March M. — Last year Samail Koss. c.ni- of the leadiag sportaaaea of WaaMagtea, developed two of the years leading two yn. obis in Iltimatuiii. a son of 1 ltimus. and rink. a son of ■ It. Iltimatum won the Adirondack Handicap at Saratoga, from Woodtrap and Tragedy and wound up the season at Howie in Novemlx.T by defeating Waakeag, and Crank, after winning the 1inilioo Narnery at Baltimore from BttalgM For ward and -Mvord. went to Baiatoga and took the Utah Bag aad Albany Handicaps, in both of which ho defeated the shifty Deer Trap. these horae* have wintered satisfactorily a.t the Benniag track, where the Ro-s striair is training and William 1". Batch is getting them ready for the reatiag meeting of the Southern Miryland Agrl-caltaral AasociatioB at Bowie. Mr. Batch exp i I to start the one that comes to hand earliest in the Bowie Inaugural, which will be the opening dr.y feature on April 1. and to give each of them two or three more race* at Prince Gearg a Park. For Iltimatum and Crank are to go right up the line against the best three-year-olds that run on this side of the Appalachian divide, and they wfU nee 1 seasoning. ntimatum and Crank look like colts that will hold theil own in the beat company. They have size and finish and they have demonstrated that they are capable of naaiatalBiag their speed under weight in Koiru: of any sort. Their first important engagement after the Bowie meeting is in the Ircakness. a race of one mile and an eighth for three-year-oht* exclusively, that will pay ,0t0 in elided money thi.; ye;.r and attract the best three-year-olds that have w intend si uth of New fork, along with one or two that are training at Bel moat Park. There was a difference of opinio* last fall as to s hi, i was the better colt. Many shrewd judges of form in lined to the opinion that Crank had something on tin- son of ritimus. Mr. Batch, how eve r, holds tlmt there is nothing Crank can do that Ulthaartam cannot do twice as well and. perhaps, it would be well for patrons of the coming Bowie meeting and of the meetings that will follow to take thi- stable tip.

Last year American trainers foaad that English two year old* did not come- to hand aa qaieky as youngster- of American stock ami explained their backwardness on the theory that they had not had sufficient time- for aeelimatization. Mr. Uoss doe-s not believe that his importations will be bothered that way this coming raciag season. Be Imported them as weaaUag* and by the time ti..- bagle calls the field of two -year olds t • the post at Bowie they will have been in this country nearly a yea: aad a half. Bvery two yen- old by Grey l -g in the Batch string showed speed when the- baud was broken over the old Benning track last fall and. without exception, they have wintered well. The Bngllsll youngsters see in to have- been cast ill a coars -r :n del than their Americau stable companion*. They are a Mg boned, upstanding band and they will be as fit at Bowie as any tWO-year Oka* that appear under colors there.
