MORRIS TWO-YEAR-OLDS FOR BOWIE. Robert Walden Will Take Promising Band of Youngsters to the Maryland Track. Baltimore, Mel.. March 21. — Robert Walden will bring down from Middle-burg, Aid., for the Southern Maryland Agricultural Associations spring meeting, as promising a band of two-year-olds as will race at the Bowie track. These youngsters be-long to Mr. Walden and Alfred He-nnen Morris of New York, and they will bear the scarlet jacket The Friar. Rowling Brook. Filigrane and Mirthful- bore with distinction on American tracks twelve and fifteen years ago. There has been more cold weather in western Maryland than the- trainers at Penning and Howie have had to conte nd with, but it has not interfered with the training of the Morris Walden horses. The Walden farm Howling Brook—has a covered half -mile track on it, and over this track hursts gallop all winter. Two of the Morris youngsters, daughters of Consistent anil Tabouret, both claiming the- Hryn Mawr stallion Dalhousie- for sire, are home-bred and are well put-up misses. They have size, but not too much of it. and are the close-coupled sort that may be expected to come to hand early. The other youngsters were purchased by Air. Morris at the sales last year. A colt by Hen Trovato. foaled by Hollo of Ormonde, is a rangy, wear-and-tear type-that looks up to almost any sort of weight. He-covered a quarter in better than 24 last fall and was not naked for his beat speed, either. Hen Trarato figures to get a good race horse. He is admirably bred and was a race r of parts himself. Two Likely-Looking Sons of Jack Atkin. Jack Atkin has two smart looking repre-sentatives in the stable in a brown colt foaled by Sans Pareil II.. and a bay foaled by Winnocock. These are-close coupled youngsters of good bona and muscular development. The brown bears a close resemblance to Jack Atkin. the best of the sons of Sain, and a stallion that is getting ejuick maturing two-year-olds. The sons and daughters of Jack Atkin that raced at New Orleans, were among the most precocious youngsters there. Marathon, a son of Martagon that is sending many staying runners to the races, is represented in the string by a prepossessing chestnut of fine length and smooth action. This one may not he-ready before the last week of the Bowie meeting, but Mr. Walden has a notion that he will prove the best two-year-old of his band. Besides these two-year-olds of the Morris-AValelen combination. Wal-elen will bring a smart youngster by Dalhousie — Tickle to Bowie for A. I. Pare, the new oil king of Clarksburg. W. Va. This one is a filly, bred at Howling Brook. The Rowie Inaugural candidate of the Alorris-Walden stable will be Piraeus, which will be- remembered by Washington and Raltimore horse folks as the winner of a race at one mile at Laurel last fall. Pireaus is a chestnut of engaging proportions by Cyelades — Elizabeth B. Like many of the sons of Cyelades. he is not gifted with a great burst of early Speed, but is a stretch runner and has improved so markedly since he went to Bowling Brook after the- Pimlieo meeting last year that Mr. Walden believes he will make the- best three -ycar-old of the year step right along. He is pointed for the ,000 Preakncss Stake-s ami the racing he will gat at Howie will be part of his public preparation for that event.
