1 ENTRAINING FOR HAVRE DE GRACeI Manager Burke Expects Seven Hundred and Fifty Horses on the Ground by Saturday. Havre do Grace, Md., September 5. A. G. Weston, trainer for Thomas Clyde, the Philadelphia steamship man, who is one of the active spirits in the management of the Pimlico track at Baltimore, arrived today from Baltimore with a band of two-year-olds, that are practically new, be "ause they have not raced any to speak of since the Pimlico spring meeting, and the promising three-year-old Hyaiiuis. Hynnuis, a Maryland-bred son of DaUiousie, won at Havre de Grace and Iimlico last spring and he has come back to Maryland in tip-top condition, , thanks to an easy campaign at Saratoga. He is to be the Clyde candidate for the Royal Blue Handicap, one of the best three-year-old races to be decided at Havre de Grace and for the Pimlico Autumn Handicap at Baltimore. Mr. Clyde also named Warsaw for the Royal Blue Handicap, but if Warsaw starts, as he probably will, he will bear fhe silks of J. O. Tal-bott of Colorado. Mr. Clyde sold the colt to Abner Clopton, Mr. Talbotts agent, at Saratoga. Louis Feustel has wired from New York that he will be here tomorrow or next day with his fast sprinter He Will, which has not appeared under colors since the Jamaica May meeting, on account of an injury. This fleet son of Heno is in grand condition now and it is likely that he will be a starter in the Old Bay Handicap, a dash of one mile and seventy yards, that will serve as the opening days feature next Tuesday. In addition to the Old Bay, He Will probably will start in the Princeton and Cecil Selling Stakes. He is known to patrons of Havre de Grace as a winner here last year and the year before. ROSS STABLE EXPECTED SATURDAY. William P. Burch will be in Friday or Saturday with the stable of Samuel Ross of Washington. Ultimatum and Crank are the most prominent members of the Ross menage. Crank defeated Tom McTaggart at three-quarters during the Aqueduct meeting and raced creditably a couple of times at Saratoga. He is probably the most useful member .if the Ross string, but lie is not the fastest. Ultimatum, right, can beat him doing anything. Ultimatum, however, was laid up with a bad foot through the spring and summer and it was not until August 28 at Saratoga that Mr. Burch got him to the post in winning form. On that occasion, however, the son of Ultimus Speedmast, showed a clean pair of heels to Tea Caddy, Startling, Ed Cudihee, Arnold, Faux-Col and Deckmate in the North Creek Handicap. His foot seems to he as good as new now and Burch does not believe it will bother him again next fall. With Ultimatum and Crank, Mr. Burch will bring his own three-year-old selling plater Alvord and four or five two-year-olds belonging to Mr. Ross. One of these youngsters, Ballymooney, won a race at Aqueduct in July. D. R. McDaniel, who is better known as "Pud-din," a sobriquet of his riding days, is here witli the stable of Grant Hugh Browne. His best horse is King Herod. King Herod was lame after his last race at Saratoga, but he is galloping again and McDaniel is not without hope of getting him to the post ut Havre de Grace. He is in several stakes here. Ed Cudihee, a sprinter of parts, especially in muddy going; Fair Mac, a useful sort over a long distance of ground, ami the two-year-olds African Arrow, Low Degree and Irish Kiss, the last-named a winner at Havre de Grace last spring, perhaps, are the most useful members of Mc-Dnuiels establishment. James Arthur has one of the strongest strings here. Bondage, which as a two-year-old, defeated the veteran campaigners Bayberry Candle and Hauberk, on successive days, at one mile and one mile and a sixteenth, respectively, at Bowie last fall, and W ater Lad, are Arthurs most formidable racers, and they are right. With these Arthur lias a host of platers and he is taking full advantage of excellent training weather ami a first-rate train-; ing track. His horses will all be ready next week. Of the 850 odd runners for which stalls have been bespoken, general manager Edward Burke expects that 750 will be housed by Saturday. James Milton has one of his assistants at the track with a starting gate and such horses as require barrier education are getting it.
