OLIVER HORSES READY FOR RACING Judge Wingfield to Start in Old Bay Handicap at Havre de Grace Tuesday Kewessa in Form. Baltimore, Md., RoptemlKT S. William L. Oliver, one of the first of the eastern horsemen to make stake entries for the Harford Agricultural and Breeders Association September meeting which will begin next Tuesday and continue to the end of the month, has two capital horses about ready for the colors. One is Judge Wingfield, a three-vcar-old bv Sea King, which lie owns in partnership with Mortemer L. Lynch of New York, Lynch having taken the horse from Paul Powers after a selling race at Bowie last spring. The other is the veteran sprinter Kewessa. Judge Wingfield is to be oiie of the starters next Tuesday in the Old Bav Handicap, which will be the feature race of the opening day card. Later Judge Wingfield may start in the Cliesterbrook and Havre de race Handicaps. The Sea King colt is showing unusual speed in his work. Kewessa, which is not in any of the Havre de Grace stakes, because he was lame when they closed, probably is the most forward rimner here. He is carrying much flesh and yesterday worked a half mile in 48 seconds without exerting himself in the least. Olivers best plater is Ed Bond, a winner at Yonkers. Edward McBride Is in from Saratoga with a smaller string than he took north from Maryland in the spring, but he has one horse, the two-year-okl Charlie Loydecker, which was the star of the Pimlico May meeting and a stake winer in Canada in June- and July, that is worth a half dozen ordinary perfonners. Charlie Leydeeker is fresli because he has not started since August 15, at Saratoga! on which day he vyon. MIZEL HORSES ARRIVE FROM NEW YORK, William Mizell has arrived from New York with a stable of eight, his best-known runners being Robert Bradley and the recently graduated maiden Dan, he a Maryland-bred son of Bryn Mawr Margaret. If Dan had Robert Bradleys speed, or if Robert Bradley had Dans level head and cheerful disposition, Mizell would have a race horse of high quality. As it is he has two fairly competent breadwinners. Robert Bradley will go to the post next Tuesday in the Old Bay Handicap. He is showing more of a disposition to go to the barrier than he used to and Mizell is regaining confidence in him. If he fails in the Old Bay Handicap, he will have to earn his pay in selling races hereafter. He is eligible for both the Princeton and the Cecil Selling Stakes. Dan, which got out of the maiden class at Yonkers, is a useful sort of plater, especially in muddy going. John J. Farrell is still at Belmont Park, but be has shipped his light-footed sprinter Firing Line to Havre de Grace with a hand of two-year-olds. Farrell believes that Firing Line is good enough to repeat his performance of last spring, when he astonished a big crowd of Philadelphians and Mary-landers by winning a sprint from the highly-tried colts Royal Writ and Navarre.
